Ezekiel Bread

Did you ever think that you could still consume bread and keep it healthy!? Well you can!! Ezekiel bread is one of a kind and the only 'bread' that I'll combine in my diet. Ezekiel bread is jam packed with nutrients and fiber. High in protein and lower in carb; it has a lot to offer health conscious people and is very diet friendly! It is offered in many varieties... Grain, Sesame, Cinnamon Raisin, and Low sodium grain! They offer so many other products as well!! It's so versatile!


Ezekiel 4:9., "Take also unto thee Wheat, and Barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and Spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of it..."

8 most surprising important foods to start eating!



Quinoa...I know I've said it before but I'll say it again! Quinoa is a must have staple to your diet! It's jam packed with protein, fiber, rich in vitamins and minerals. The perfect carbohydrate for your meal.

Spinach..a must!!! A superfood! This leafy dark green is super important and packed with vitamin k, biotin, and folic acid!

Oysters are an excellent source of zinc,selenium, calcium, iron and Vitamin A; as well as being rich in amino acids. Oysters also help in the production of Testosterone! Also an aphrodisiac ;)

Watermelon..so watermelon is so underrated! It's not just sugar and water! The benefits of watermelon go way beyond its spongy juicy pink insides. It has the highest amount out of any fruit of an antioxidant that detoxifies the body.

Mushrooms...no matter the type! This fungi is mucho important for keeping estrogen levels at bay and fighting off cancer causing free radicals. Don't underestimate the power of FUNGUS! Mushrooms help promote muscle growth as well as regulate inflammatory biochemicals.

Eggs.. The complete protein! Totally natural and absolutely should be a staple of your diet! Don't skip out on the yolk! An example of how much yolk to consume would be 1 per every 3 whites. The yolk contains so many essential amino acids as well as important vitamins and minerals!!

Pomegranates have the highest amount of polyphenols which promotes fantastic heart and circulatory health!! They can also reduce high blood pressure.

Beets..They are just exploding with Potassium! As well as other important minerals, beets are a little higher in sodium for a vegetable, but are very beneficial! Throw some in your plane jane salad- For a little variety. The texture of beets is very nice ouhh lala.

PEANUT BUTTER ADDICTION




So, I'm not sure if any of you have ever tried PB2 or any peanut flour at all but it's absolutely F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C. Like one of the best inventions EVER. So, if your addicted to peanut butter like I am...than you will most likely agree as well, or if your just a pb fan than this stuff is definitely for you. You don't have to give up peanut butter after all!! How how is this possible!?! How could you have your fix and still come out on top!? How? Well PB2 IS Peanut flour and its all natural with no preservatives and from peanuts, 85% of the oil is just pressed out through the expelling process. So leaving you with the finished product of an amazing amount of fat that has just disappeared!! Peanut minus fat equals a happier YOU! which means less fat per serving and ultimately more peanut in your mouth! Yay! Jump around!!






No more fighting with your addiction! I have come to this reality!! But, I still haven't parted ways with real peanut butter, as a healthy source of fat added in my diet!! Peanuts are such a satisfying snack. So, try to mix both into your diet!! PB2 is offered in Peanut butter& chocolate as well!!

TOOTLES! xoxo
