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!
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.
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 🙂
spoonfulofsugarfree says
YUM!!! What kind of sf chocolate cake did you use? Sounds amazing 😛
Katie says
the recipe you posted the other day! I finished off the whole pan in 2 days haha, and the last slice I threw into the blender.

Yummy, I love the dessert-esque oats! I barely have dessert, uness you count a teaspoon of PB or AB with an apple dessert! 🙂 I seriously need ot make that cake, though, looks amazing!

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
