Hi I’m Tayde!

Creator of Lolly Cafe, where sweet quests meets healthy choices (without the sugar crash). This blog started as my personal small journey, I’ve always been curious about developing recipes but it gradually grew into something much more meaningful; a space where I share no-added-sugar coffee drinks, lattes and snack recipes that bring joy and nourishment.

So why the no added sugar? Let me tell you a little bit about myself…

Right now I’m in a very lovely chapter in my life, as a first time mommy :) My pregnancy thankfully was wonderful but not without its bumps (no pun intended).  During my pregnancy I was actually diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Past my initial shock, this was the wakeup call that I truly needed. I reflected on my choices and reevaluated my eating habits, and this changed the way I looked at food: especially sugar. After that experience, I became more intentional about what I put in my body. But I didn’t want to give to the things I loved: cozy lattes, occasional treats, and the pleasure of a tasty snack.

So, I got creative and discovered numerous possibilities of flavor, health and freedom; and that’s how Lolly Cafe was born.

In this blog you’ll find:

  1. Delicious no-added-sugar coffee and latte recipes (yes they taste amazon and that’s coming from a certified sweet honey bee)

  2. Healthy snack ideas

  3. My ongoing health journey, navigating my life with less sugar

  4. Tips, tricks and products that help me stay balanced and satified

Last but not least another motivation is to inspire you to come into this journey with me whether you’re managing your own sugar intake, exploring low-glicemic options, or just love discovering nutritious recipes. Think of Lolly Cafe as a petite virtual hideaway for coffee and conversation as we enjoy delicious healthy recipes and contemplate life while enjoying our favorite drinks. I hope you enjoy this adventure as much as I do :)
