Module Ten - Breakfast, Snacks, Herbs & Spices

IT'S SUPERSTAR TIME!

1. Decide how you'll move forward with sugar.

This is your final week of the "No Sugar Challenge!" Hip-hip hooray! That being said, at the end of the week (Sunday night to be exact), you get to decide if you'll continue eliminating sugar the same way you have been the last 3 weeks.

Here's two different options you could chose from here on. If you tried option one during the challenge, maybe you'll want to keep that up or, try option two.

Option One:

Refrain from all types of sweeteners that contain empty calories including honey, maple syrup, agave etc. in addition to sugar, and high-fructose syrup etc. for three weeks in a row.
Avoid all treats for three weeks in row and each daily desserts instead.
Avoid soda, sweet tea and drinking juices.

Option two:

Refrain from sugar and products that have sugar and the same sweeteners listed above, but use honey, maple syrup and agave only when you're adding them yourself to whole, plant foods (option one would omit this).
Avoid treats that have sugar or animal products, but allow for treats outside of the house that are vegan but use honey, maple syrup or agave syrup only.
Avoid soda, sweet tea and drinking juices.

2. try butter beans this week if you've never had them.

Trish used these beans to make a veggie pita in lesson two. They're one of her favorite beans. If you've never had one before, buy a can this week. Try three beans on their own. Eat one, then another, then another. It takes your belly and brain three bites to decide if you like something or not.

Then, try the butter bean in a salad (they're great in place of garbanzos), or in a veggie pita like Trish made.

Let us know if you liked the taste of the butter beans by commenting in the Facebook group.

3. Download these documents from this week's module...

4. Make one of the veggie sandwiches for breakfast or a snack from lesson two. Here are your options...

100% whole-grain pita with avocado, butter beans, carrot, romaine lettuce, a pinch of salt and a dash of dried dill and any other veggies you want
100% whole-gain toast with oil-free hummus and veggies of your choice on-top
100% whole-grain bagel with cashew, or tofu-sour cream with veggies on-top

5. try dried dill if you haven't had it yet

If you're not sure what to put it on, try adding it to any of the sandwiches from lesson two.
