WEEKEND 1

THE FIRST WEEKEND OF THIS 20 DAY CHALLENGE HAS BEEN A SUCCESS 🙌

 I abstained from meat 🐮🐷🐔 on Friday, had all beef 🐮 sliders without the bun and homemade beans with caramelized onions 🧅on Saturday, lots of water 🥤, and A LOT of produce 🍌🌶🥑 throughout the whole weekend.  It wasn't hard at all and I felt very satisfied and less hungry the entire weekend.....score 🙌

I made a delicious and nutritious homemade version of Rice Krispy Treats this weekend using: organic brown rice cereal 🌾, a tablespoon of real grass fed local butter 🧈, all natural crunchy peanut butter🥜, real dark cocoa powder🍫, and a touch of honey🍯 spiced with cinnamon and a dash of cayenne 🌶

The end result was a decadent but healthy chocolaty treat/snack with a softer/chewier consistency (which I didn't miss) (since there are no marshmallows) filled with a depth of flavor from real high quality ingredients 😋  I don't think I'll make rice krispy treats any other way again.  A fun childhood treat with A LOT less sugar and better for you ingredients that I actually feel good about eating??  YES PLEASE 👏

1 week down....2 more to go.......I'm hoping to  Keep It Real and keep this ball rolling.....
Til next week.....👋

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 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 🙌                                     ...
