A Giveaway for the Healthy Breakfast Challenge

Hi all! How’s the Advent season going so far? The roomies and I bought and decorated our tree on Saturday as we had a housewarming/Advent party that night – it was a great success and went into the weeeee hours of the morning. To say I am tired as I write this is an understatement (it’s Sunday evening now).

Anyway, to assist my tiredness let’s get right to the point, otherwise I fear I’ll stop making sense.

To those of you who have been participating in the Healthy Breakfast Challenge thus far – good for you! How’s it going? As Christmas party season heats up, is a fulfilling, nutritious breakfast keeping you going and on track throughout your days?

For me, even on days when it’s been tough for me to stay on track, having had a balanced breakfast at least reassures me that my body got something nutritious that day. I hope it’s doing the same for you!

And for those of you who have yet to take part in the Challenge, boy, do I have some incentive for you!

The lovely folks at NuNaturals – my favourite stevia company, as you well know – have just released their new Chocolate stevia flavour. It’s amazing – not as sweet as some of the other flavoured liquid stevia products, like the lemon or orange, but with a subtle chocolate flavour that really complements your favourite chocolate dish.

It is not so strongly chocolatey that you would need to miss out the chocolate – so just add it to whatever chocolate drinks or dishes you are making.

So far, I have mixed with Greek yogurt and topped it on my chocolate chip Fitnessista breakfast cookie (see below), and used it to sweeten hot chocolate – just mix a tablespoon of cocoa powder with 1 cup soy milk, and add 1/2-1 dropper of chocolate stevia. Top with whipped cream for an extra decadent treat!
