So are Breakfast essentials good for breakfast?
-
annefood Hey @RegannePreece ! Awesome that you joined the Avoid Sweets Challenge! Unfortunately Breakfast Essentials drinks aren't great. Many "nutrition" drinks like Breakfast Essentials are actually full...

doublek23 I'm in love with Ancient Harvest Quinoa Flakes! They are full of protein, don't have gluten, and is similar to oatmeal. Add some butter and toasted coconut flakes to it and it makes a great...

annefood Great recommendation @doublek23 !
What is a free pass?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Great question! A Free Pass is an allowable slip for the habit you’re working on. If you’re doing the Avoid Soda Challenge, check in by using a Free Pass if you had a soda. If you had just a small...

Fairy tale eggplant.
Our favorite eggplant variety. We love to simply cut these in half and pop them on the grill. How do you like your eggplant?

DietID_TeamDietitians Undhiyu, a traditional gujarati dish is a labor of love. Stuffed baby eggplant cooked down in a clay pot. http://www.spiceupthecurry.com/undhiyu-recip-gujarati-undhiyu/

JoanneG I make these cute baby eggplant parm stacks with baby eggplant.
Can I do other challenges at the same time
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter At the moment you're only able to do one challenge at a time. Also sometimes focusing on changing more than one habit can be a bit overwhelming. Baby steps :)

I forgot to input a glass of water
I didn't put in my final glass of water last night as it was late, is there any way to rectify this?
Can anyone suggest healthy vegan dinner ideas
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Since it's fall, chili is my go-to meal for dinner. It's easy to make vegan if you swap out animal stock for vegetable stock and ground meat with either tempeh or tofu. It's completely up to you so...

ManyaModi @darkchocolatepeanutbutter thanks for the advice 😊

annefood Hey @ManyaModi ! So glad you're trying to cook dinner more often! One of my favorite vegan meals is these Roasted Garbanzo Beans https://www.annefood.com/blog/fennel-roasted-garbanzo-beans with...
Is eating dates acceptable during the no sugar challenge? I just couldn't resist that raw vegan gluten free cookie 🙊

Day 2/7: Avoid Added Sugar Level III
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yep! Acceptable. Try not to overdo it with dates because they are quite sweet, but they are a great replacement in desserts.
-
annefood Yes @DiotimeBoudoussier ! Naturally occurring sugars in dried fruit are okay in small quantities. Try to avoid "date sugar" because it lacks the fiber that whole dates have, but a cookie sweetened...
-
garv Eating a date early evening makes for a great sugar rush + it's nutritious! I add a few to my pre-run smoothie
Quick question , do dried cranberries have added sugar in them ?
-
annefood @Lazy_Nash good question! Unfortunately yes, most do. Since cranberries are so tart, they are always sweetened when dried. Occasionally you can find fruit juice sweetened dried cranberries at a...
-
JenniferEmilson Some health food stores do carry sour dried cranberries. In other words, no sugar added. When you find them, stock up!! 👌🏻
-
annefood Good to know @JenniferEmilson ! I've never seen them entirely unsweetened in all of my health food store travels.
What if I don't get thirsty that much ? Is it a bad thing ?
-
annefood Hey @Lazy_Nash ! Not feeling thirsty isn't necessarily a bad thing—it's normal for some people to feel more thirsty than others. But despite not feeling thirsty you still need fluids. Simply making...
-
annefood You're welcome @Lazy_Nash !
Guys. Please!! Does a spoon of this count as a snack??? It can't possibly. It's nuts right? Right???
