Kung Pao Chicken

Our friends at Meal Prep on Fleek made this classic takeout dish into a less-sugar version for your lunch or dinner meal prep. It simply uses our Organic Monk Fruit with erythritol in the sauce instead of traditional sugar for a sweetener inspired by nature without the sugar crash. The taste is perfect and the result is healthier. This is a spicy one you definitely want to work into your meal prep rotation!
