When you’re trying to eat healthier, one of the hardest transitions can be condiments. They are such a sneaky source of extra ingredients you may be trying to avoid or minimize. Check out this post with a lot of examples of foods with added sugar.

Teriyaki Sauce is one of those condiments that is typically loaded with sugar, sometimes even high-fructose corn syrup, sometimes additives and unhealthy oils.

It’s so simple to make homemade, healthy teriyaki sauce so it’s worth the few minutes it takes to whip it up. I just made a few swaps to make it a healthier version.

Healthy Teriyaki Sauce Ingredients

  • Instead of brown sugar, I used blackstrap molasses.
  • Instead of white sugar, I used Monk Fruit Sweetener.
  • It is thickened with arrowroot powder instead of corn starch.
  • I used reduced-sodium tamari in place of soy sauce.

You WILL find fresh garlic, fresh ginger, and tremendous flavor in this delicious sauce. You’ll want to use this sauce on everything!!

Stay tuned for a Teriyaki Turkey Burger recipe coming soon that uses this recipe! YUM.

      If you don’t mind the sugar, you can use regular white sugar.
