DietID_TeamDietitians 7yr My favorite quick no added sugar breakfast is overnight oats with bananas. You just put rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, a chopped up banana (or frozen blueberries!), with a sprinkle of cinnamon in a jar at night, and then take out in the AM to eat! Here is an example https://www.thefoodstand.com/posts/17336-rachna-overnight-oats-not-the-prettiest-but-delish-rolled-oats -
annefood 7yr Hey @johnnyjumper ! Have you checked out the No Sugar at Breakfast Guidebook ? It has a bunch of no added sugar recipes https://www.thefoodstand.com/challenge-groups/12-avoid-sugar-at-breakfast/guide . I love eggs for a no sugar breakfast. Sometimes I eat them sunny side up over leftover grains (quinoa, brown rice, farro) from the night before with some spinach, or I'll make an omelette or scramble with mushroom, onion and spinach, or just some chopped herbs like parsley, basil or chives. If you keep chopped onion and mushroom in jars and some boxed spinach in the fridge an omelette it only takes 3 minutes to make. My other favorite no sugar breakfast is plain/greek yogurt with fresh fruit (chopped pear, berries, peach, or banana), a sprinkle of ground flax seeds, toasted nuts (almonds or pecans) and toasted unsweetened coconut flakes. -

annefood I know it's insane isn't it?! Sugar is in everything from peanut butter to tomato sauce. Glad that's your next Challenge!
Protein shake
Hi everybody, quick question. Does the Protein Skake for muscle mass building be considered as sweetened food (which is the case) but so useful after workouts?
-
annefood Great question @johnnyjumper ! No, your protein shake is not considered to be a sweet/dessert, and is allowed on this Challenge. We designed this Challenge to help people get out of the habit of...

johnnyjumper Ok interesting. Thanks Anne! I'll try to find a protein shake without any additional sweetener or@make one myself.

annefood Congratulations @johnnyjumper ! So excited for you! How has it been going?

johnnyjumper No prob. Stop soda is easy but quitting transformed Sugar is much much more complicated.
