HOMEMADE FLAVORED CREAMER

DIY flavored creamer 🥛to go with your DIY flavored coffee ☕

 Just like I like to Keep It Real with making my own flavored coffee where I can control the quality of ingredients, I like to do the same thing with my creamer. 

Making your own flavored creamer is just as easy as making your own flavored coffee as you may have read in my previous blog.  If not, search my recent posts and catch up 😉


  • I start with using half and half (organic if possible).  
  • I add to pot and add 1 tsp of my favorite extract combinations.  (I like to use 2 extracts to create fun and unique flavors)  As you should know by now, I love interesting and hate boring 😜
Here are some of my favorite flavor combinations: 
  1. cinnamon and chocolate extracts with a touch of cayenne (just like a Mexican Hot Chocolate ☕🍫🌶sweet and spicy)
  2. chocolate 🍫and peppermint🍬extracts (perfect for the holiday season)
  3. lemon 🍋and orange 🟠extracts (nice for summer months.....very bright 🌞and refreshing)
  4. almond and rum extracts with a touch of nutmeg (another perfect combo for the holidays.....similar to eggnog flavor)
I invite you to get as creative as you can 😋
  • I then add, 2 packets of truvia and a cinnamon stick (or ground cinnamon if that's all you have) and stir to combine
  • Cover pot with lid and bring to a slow boil
  • Once tiny bubbles start to form around edges (just a few minutes time), turn off the flame and remove from heat.  Let steep for 1-2 hours
  • Fill container with creamer you created and refrigerate until ready to use
I encourage you all to try my technique and post pics of your creations in comments here.  I'd love to see your creations and learn new flavor combos 😊

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 🙌                                     ...
