Start your Day with a Sweet Treat

Maple syrup is a classic addition to many breakfast options. But try adding a splash of maple syrup to your coffee in the morning (or afternoon/night, no judgement) for a special Vermont-style treat! Maple syrup also goes great with oatmeal and yogurt! And it’s a much more health-friendly alternative to refined sugars, as it’s loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

A Mid-day Delight

Maple syrup is a great way to spruce up a boring lunch/brunch/dinner menu! Try using pure maple syrup as a dip for appetizers such as chicken nuggets. (SWEET NUGGS!) Or if you’re firing up the grill, marinate your meat and veggies in pure maple syrup. (or our brand new Flavored Maple Syrups, more coming soon on that!)

Late Night Delicacy

Finish off your day in style with maple-themed desserts and beverages! Pure maple syrup is a great topping for ice cream, or worked into baking recipes for your favorite cookies or cakes. Maple also mixes well into a variety of cocktails: imagine a Maple Manhattan or White Vermonter. (that’s just a classic White Russian with added maple syrup!)
