Sugarlite is an ideal choice of all cooking needs for the entire family. Social Samosa takes a look at the brand’s two-pronged approach towards influencer marketing.

I cannot do without my morning tea, and I keep struggling with my sugar cutdown as its a daily intake. For staying fit and healthy, keeping your sugar in check is of utmost importance. Recently i got my hands on this smart sugar "Sugarlite", which is a blend of sugar and Stevie leaves, which makes it a healthier version while no compromise on taste. It has 50% less calories than normal sugar and is 100% sweet. 1 spoon of @sugarliteindia is equal to 2 spoons of normal sugar in sweetness. So you get #aadheMeinZyada ?
