Hidden in PLAIN Sight....Treat Yourself!!
At Full on Faith Nutrition we appreciate a healthy relationship with food. Every now an then, we encourage you to Treat Yourself! Enjoy and indulge, mindfully...
What do we mean by mindful indulgence?
Mindful indulgence is enjoying foods, activities, and events that bring you joy without major setbacks. Mindful indulgence is consuming food items that do not contain potentially harmful ingredients. We want you to be mindful of the sweet treats that have artificial sweeteners at the top of their ingredient list. We LOVE Dannon® Oikos® Triple Zero Greek Yogurt! Its full flavor, protein packed and perfectly sweet with no artificial sugars. This yogurt is sweetened with Stevia leaf extract, a natural calorie-free sweetener. The next time you are in the mood for a sweet treat, indulge in our Banana Split Stuffed Strawberries!
