It's Fall Y'all
In great anticipation of fall, I was bitten by the pumpkin spice bug! I knew I wanted to prep some chia pudding for this week’s breakfasts, and the can of pumpkin purée caught my eye. I created a maple salted caramel chia pudding with a layer of cinnamon spiced pumpkin puree, maple nutmeg Greek yogurt, and a chopped pecan brown “sugar” topping (S). This recipe is getting rave reviews on my Facebook Page; come on over and join me there!! Balanced and Nourished Living with Coach Amanda Jabczynski | Facebook

NCEB Fruity-Cereal-Flavored Breakfast Bake (S)
Recipe: Makes 9 servings
Prepare NCEB batter according to the package and adding the following ingredients to the batter.
Additional ingredients:
1 tbsp instant yeast (I use SAF brand)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp THM Gentle Sweet
Put prepared NCEB batter into a 9 x 9 glass baking dish sprayed with olive oil or avocado cooking spray.
Prepare the sweetened fruity swirl mixture.
Sweetened fruity mixture:
1/2 cup Lakanto Powdered Monk Fruit
1/4 tsp raspberry extract
1/4 tsp lemon extract
1/4 tsp orange extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Combine the fruity mixture ingredients, stir until smooth, and drizzle over the batter. Use a butter knife to swirl the sweetened fruity mixture throughout the NCEB batter. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
I enjoyed my serving immediately after pulling it out of the oven - I could not wait!! I used some sweetened Greek yogurt. I also used 1 to 2 Tbsp of my son's off-plan Magic Spoon Fruity Cereal to garnish and to drive home the point that this was a fruity cereal flavored dish. YUM!

Cherry Berry Grapple Cider Sipper (not pictured)
A delicious sipper to keep you feeling full and hydrated while keeping blood sugars steady!
Start with a large tumbler (mine is 40 ounces) with about 1 cup of ice, add in 1 to 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, pour in one Trim Healthy Mama Cherry Berry Hydrate sachet drink packet, fill about halfway with your choice of sparkling water (I used Bubly Cherry), give a good stir, and top it off with a Grape flavored Zevia soda. I find this so yummy and refreshing!
Interesting facts about apple cider vinegar:
Did you know that raw apple cider vinegar, ACV for short, is a powerful superfood? Yep! It contains a number of beneficial vitamins such as vitamins A, E, C, and B and several others. It encourages weight loss by breaking down fats, slows digestion of starch and slows the rise in glucose levels as a result of potent acetic acid, helps aid digestion and remedies heartburn, and even helps to lower bad cholesterol! What an incredible ingredient! Adding this humble superfood to your daily beverages is a great way to improve your overall health and help keep your sugars balanced and your body nourished!
