no-sugar challenge!

First of all: I’m so sorry I only posted once last week! It was Sunday evening, and already late, so my parents sent me to bed before I could write every post I wanted to write :(
Anyways, I’m gonna make it up to you guys: today I’ll post two posts (the ones that should’ve been published yesterday) and I’ll also post three posts at the end of this week. Okay, actually that’s just what you’d usually get.. I’ll try to post one extra, but I’m sure if I’m going to manage to do that…

Now let’s go on to what this post actually is about: the no-sugar challenge! I did (and finished!) the no-sugar challenge. In this challenge you’re not allowed to eat any refined sugars for a week. It’s very healthy and I was also just curious how it’d be without them. Well, I can tell you; it’s hard! I really noticed how much refined sugars you usually eat.
A few examples:
- when I get home, I usually eat a cookie and drink tea, or something like that. During the challenge, I ate a banana (or an apple, or a mandarin or whatever :)).
- I usually have bread for breakfast, but in some kinds of bread there’s sugar. So I ate yoghurt. The bread I eat, though, is sugar free. I read that on the Internet a few days after I started.
- That week, we went on a school trip (twice!). In the bus, everyone was eating candy. And I was just sitting there with my oats… :(

So, it was hard, but I succeeded!
I even kind of “enjoyed” the challenge. Not really, it was horrible, but it was fun trying to find sweet replacements on the Internet. If you’re Dutch, and going to try this challenge, you should really check out this blog: www.blijzondersuiker.nl

Let me know if you’re going to try the challenge!

I’m going to talk to you about pomegranate. It’s, like, the best fruit ever. Maybe not in case you want something healthy if you’re hungry, then you’d better eat a banana, but in case you just want a healthy snack, pomegranate is perfect. When you cut it open it really looks like it’s bleeding, cause the juice is deep red, like blood, but don’t worry about that ;)
It actually looks kinda cool..
But when you’re done cutting it you’ll see all of those beautiful seeds (the things you’ll eat) and that’s probably part of the reason I love pomegranate so much. These seeds also taste amazing so why not call it the best fruit ever?!
Just buy a pomegranate. You’ll love it!
By the way; you’d better buy a fresh one, not just seeds in a transparent box, cause fresh tastes way way way better!

I usually eat oats with yoghurt when I’m hungry without a reason. So not because it’s dinner time or something, no, just hungry. I don’t count the reason; “because I’m always hungry and I have to eat 20 times a day and I don’t know who thought 3 meals a day would be enough but I don’t agree” cause actually that’s the reason.
Now please don’t think that I do eat 20 times a day, cause I don’t, but I just like to be a bit of a drama queen to make sure people understand :p

Anyway, when I eat oats with yoghurt when I’m with my friends, it’s usually new to them. So I assume it’s new to most of you too, and I wanted to share this little tip with you :)

I always start with yoghurt and oats and then you can just add whatever you like. Here are a few suggestions;
- banana
- blueberries
- Kellogg’s coco pops (my little brother eats them with milk but I like them in my yoghurt better)
- cinnamon
- dark chocolate
- raspberries

So let me know if you like it!
