2 DAYS DOWN, 18 MORE TO GO

I'm on my 3rd day of Keeping It Real by Keeping It Clean.....

 I have to say......it has been quite easy 👏

I will say, I do miss truvia in my coffee every morning but my homemade coconut creamer with lots of spices (cinnamon, ginger, allspice) added to my morning cup of Joe has been very doable....I'm actually quite surprised 🤯

With eating real, clean foods, I notice that I am fuller longer (more fiber in real foods) and feel more satisfied than I thought I would.  I feel good throughout the day with a good amount of energy.  Now, I realize it's only day 3 but I think this is a real positive ➕

One of my favorite snacks that I have made are homemade Kale chips 🥬 
I placed kale in oven tossed with olive oil, spices (chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder), and a little salt and pepper and baked until crispy....delicious.....only 33 calories in 1 cup of cooked kale 🙌

I also made a 3 bean chili with organic beans and lean ground turkey with bell peppers and spices......all real whole ingredients made for a very flavorful and filling dinner 🍲

All in all, I'm doing well and feeling great....looking forward to the rest of the week 📅

Have a great week everyone......until next post ✌

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 🙌                                     ...
