FEATURED FLAVOR OF THE DAY

Our featured flavor of the day today is:  CHILI MANGO 
Perfect since it's PEPPER SEASON! 🌶

 You may not have known but peppers have many health benefits that may surprise you:

  • They contain a compound called capsaicin that helps aid in the digestive irritants such as ulcers.  Sounds funny ha?  A pepper that is HOT can help soothe irritating areas?  Crazy...but true.
  • This capsaicin can also help to relieve pain since it's a natural pain reliever.  
  • Capsaicin is also an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory which helps protect against many diseases and ailments.
  • Peppers also help to increase metabolism by increasing processes in our body that generate heat which speeds up energy which helps burn calories.
2 flavors that are classic together are Chili and Mango.  They have been paired together for years especially in Latin Cuisine.  The sweet, salty, and spicy combo hits different parts of your palate at the same time.  It's a classic for a reason  👏

I am keeping it real by creating my Chili Mango Quick Bread: A unique sweet and spicy addition to our line featuring dried mangoes and fresh chili peppers with a hint of chipotle which can be enjoyed any time of the year for that sweet, smoky, and salty combo.......this one is for the bold of heart

Now is the optimal time to enjoy this bread!  The peppers are bountiful, beautiful, and bright.  They add a delicious freshness this time of year!

IT'S NATIONAL FLUFFERNUTTER DAY

What is a Fluffernutter?? A Fluffernutter is basically a peanut butter and marshmallow cream ( fluff ) sandwich 🥜🍞 If you've never had one.....you should.....just to try, they're delicious but filling and full of sugar thanks to the highly processed marshmallow creme.  At Garcia Bread Co ., we don't have a Fluffernutter flavor so we're going to celebrate with our new addition to our family:  Banana Peanut Butter Chip   🍌🥜available in loaf, muffin, or baked donut form 🙌👏: A unique combination of fresh bananas and sweet and salty creamy peanut butter chips all throughout the batter. This is so decadent it feels like a treat or dessert but is so nutritious it can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast any day of the week.  And, remember.....all of our products have no added sugar (sweetened with applesauce and honey ) and no added saturated fats (a small amount of sunflower oil which is rich in vitamins ....especially E , and antioxidants to stay moist and flavor...

I MADE IT!

I did it!! 20 Day Challenge is successfully completed!!! Here is what I learned from this experience: You can do ANYTHING for 20 days! Eating real, whole foods all the time keeps you satisfied with more energy and feeling better about yourself. It forced me to eat better and be creative in getting the best nutrition into my body it gave me new, healthy recipes that I didn't know existed I will do this again....maybe a few times a year I am proud of myself 👏 While I am excited I completed the challenge, I will need to be careful in introducing certain foods back into my diet; sugars, etc.... I know I am going to limit my fried and processed foods if at all.......no real benefits to them.....with that said.....Where are the jelly beans????  If you know me, you know I love my Easter candy.....in moderation people....in moderation 🙌                                     ...
