CLEAN 20

So.....I'm going clean for 20 days this Lent 🤯

I eat and live a healthy lifestyle normally but am going the extra mile this Lent.  I'm actually excited about it and am interested to see how my body is going to feel and look 🙌

I am cutting out added sugars (only naturally occurring sugars in whole fruit), no fried foods, white flour, artificial sweeteners, or processed foods 😏

From March 1 to March 20, I am going to give this a try.  I will be making a lot of my own foods and hopefully saving a lot of money 👏 The challenge for me is going to be not having sugar/truvia in my coffee or coffee creamer.  However, I have made my own coffee creamer using coconut milk and pure extracts like vanilla or cinnamon.  It's actually pretty good and doable 👍

I've made homemade egg bites using 100% egg whites, real cheese, and veggies
I've made homemade 100% whole wheat graham crackers which are actually pretty good but less sweet.....which is fine for me....I plan on spreading them with all natural nut butters.....yummm😋

I grow my own lettuce and herbs so will incorporate those into my recipes as well. 
Lots of water is going to be key 🥤

I'll share my experiences every few days along with successes and challenges.....here we go...I'm ready to get started 🤝

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 🙌                                     ...
