Once Again Amore Spread

I have a severe sweet tooth. It is probably my biggest vice. I can abstain from just about anything but dessert. So while on this health journey, I had to discover a way to have my cake and eat it too. Living a gluten-free lifestyle. It’s hard to find spreads and condiments that don’t contain wheat. As I have adopted a gluten-free lifestyle, I have found some tasty products that are gluten-free to satisfy my sweet tooth. I team up with Once Again to try their Amore Spread Almond with Cocoa and Milk. I was amazed at the decadence of this chocolate spread.

Not your average Chocolate Spread

Once again is a company that you can trust for Certified Gluten-Free, Non-GMO Verified, Certified Organic, and vegan nut and seed butter. Once Again Nut Butter
also follows Fair Trade and Sustainability standards for their farm partners, suppliers, and prices. I love companies that are conscious about where their product is sourced and quality of the ingredients. When my family tried the Once Again Organic Amore Almond Spread with Milk Chocolate, it was without question delicious. It makes everything taste better, and it is healthier than other dessert butter in the market. We’ve used it as a dip for our popcorn, fruit, and gluten-free pretzels. It was also a delicious spread on rice cakes as a snack. So creamy and rich it is better than other hazelnut nut butter that is popular on the market.

Guiltless Dessert

The ingredients are much better for you. I decided to make a Dessert Pizza for a Barbeque we were invited to, and it was a hit. In less than 20 minutes and with minimal ingredients. We had a delicious dessert. Often people omit desserts when working towards their weight loss goals, but I believe in living a healthier lifestyle whether than being on a diet. Which for me, includes desserts. Using better ingredients and portion control dessert is a guiltless pleasure that everyone should enjoy in moderation. Give the recipe a try and be a rockstar at your next potluck or for an easy dessert.

Fat Loss Friendly Butter Rum Cupcakes

ButterRumCupcake

I have been on a sugar detox for 14 days and being sugar free can make a girl do some crazy things ie. create a sugar free cupcake out of desperation for a after dinner treat. Detoxing has been extremely hard because there is sugar in everything. Things that you didn’t expect to have sugar in them there is. Of course, I know there is sugar in cupcakes, that’s why I love cupcakes. I have found doing this detox that sugar does have a mental and physical effect on me. The first two days, I had cravings and would end my days with headaches, which I don’t get. A week into the detox I had a really emotional down spell for several days being that I am a pretty optimistic person this was very challenging. Then the stuffy sinus’ and increased allergies. It is crazy that something so good, so satisfying, so sweet, (ha ha) can be have such a control of your body. I guess its not that crazy but until you go without something you never realize how much it is apart of your daily life.

After some trial and error I came up with a kid-friendly, husband approved, sugar craving satisfying dessert. This experiment has made this journey a little more “sweeter” and easier to bear. It ended up being really tasty and just what I needed at the end of a busy day. It’s nice to have a treat that I can eat on this weight loss journey that I don’t have to worry about sabotaging my efforts or doing extra work to work it off. If I had to restrict myself from all that is good ie. treats I don’t think I would be able to live this lifestyle. There has to be balance and compromise and this recipe is both and it is yummy.
