Day 8: Birthday Wishes

June 8, 2011 By Alex@Spoonful of Sugar Free

Welcome to day eight of the Sugar Free Challenge! There are only two days left for the challenge-can you believe it? It has gone by so fast! Today is another special day because it is my Dad’s birthday!

Happy Birthday, Dad! I love you!

Here is today’s sample menu:

Breakfast: Oatmeal topped with sliced banana, a dollop of Peanut Butter Cream Frosting, and Unsweetened Chocolate Shavings.

Lunch: Baked Sweet Potato with almond butter and cinnamon.

2-ingredient Macaroons

Snack: 2-Ingredient Macaroons.

 

Dinner: A BIG salad with spinach, bell pepper, onion, quinoa, strawberries, chicken, olives, and artichoke hearts. Drizzled with Dijon dressing and balsamic vinegar.

Dessert: High Protein Cookie Dough.

Thought-provoking, mind-prodding question of the day:

When’s the last time you had dessert for breakfast?

Ummm…Just had some today!

    I had dessert for breakfast yesterday! I made oatmeal – oats cooked in coconut water (because it was after a run), wheat germ, wheat bran, chia seeds, peanut butter – and the dessert part… caramelized banana! I sliced a ripe banana into a nonstick pan and let it brown slightly, flipped and repeated (got this idea from Chocolate-Covered Katie). Mixed that into my oatmeal with some soy milk and it was definitely like eating candy! I took it easy the rest of the day on fruit since I indulged in the morning. 🙂

    It’s my Dad’s birthday today too!!
    I feel that I have dessert for breakfast EVERY day. Today I had a classic 5 minute apple quinoa flake bake. Those things will never, ever get old. And… I started playing around with a tropical one, like you suggested ages ago!

    I was going to comment today anyways about my breakfast, and it happens to answer your question also! I threw in a slice of the SF chocolate cake with PB, banana, strawberries, and milk into a smoothie for breakfast and it was AMAZING! You must try it 🙂

    The way I make my oats makes me feel like I’m having desert for breakfast every day! I use Katie’s Voluminous oats trick and my favorite combo right now is coconut butter white chocolate wonderful PB from PB&Co with some shredded coconut! yumm 🙂

    Wow your food looks so delicious! I’ve just been checking out your blog for the past little while and am getting some great ideas! I like this sugar-free challege thing! I think I almost do that a lot of days anyways but it would be cool to actually make a point to do it for a set period of time. So glad I found your blog
