Nothing Like a Quickie!

Ok, get your minds out of the gutter! I'm talking about a quick, up and at em, grab it, out the door snack. I thought I'd get in one last little blog before I fly off to Los Angeles this afternoon (then back to NYC then back to Phoenix then back to L.A. ... it's going to be a long two weeks!) Anyway, I am very excited about all the work and the opportunities that have blessed me lately but I've got to stay hydrated and fueled and well rested, for sure, if I'm going to be on the top of my game with all this traveling. 
This week, I'll be shooting a commercial for POLANER SUGAR FREE with Fiber in Los Angeles to be airing in several national markets this month! (Talk about a quick turn around.) I am very excited about this partnership and grateful they chose ME to represent the company. Stay tuned for the commercial on a television near you. 
So before I say bon voyage to the chilly air of NYC, I wanted to share my latest favorite snack. Granted, the recipe is not going to break any ground in the culinary world, but it is simple, healthy and an oh so TASTY twist on everyone's favorite PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY. Please, I haven't met a jar of all natural peanut butter I didn't love. Not to mention a Peanut M&M or a Reese's Pieces. But I digress . . . ok, back to the task at hand. Here you go!

As you can see from the photo, you've got everything you need right here. Just 
grab a spoon and dig in!  You can imagine, it's very complicated. But in case     you need some help: 

2 of your favorite rice cakes/spelt cakes OR
1 piece spelt bread (toasted is wonderful)
Almond Butter (I like the creamy, salted from T.Joe's)
2 tsp. favorite flavor Polaner Sugar Free with Fiber (I'm digging the Apricot!)

Take out a cake or two (My favorite, Suzie's, pictured, are thin so I'll go for two, thank you.) Slather on a generous amount of Almond Butter and top with PSF with Fiber. Done. Just make sure you have some water handy to wash down the yummy gooy-ness that may stick around. A great quick breakfast, pre workout snack or anytime you think it may be wrong to eat almond butter straight out of the jar with a spoon like I do! Gotta run . . . running behind as usual!

Sounds like a yummy snack! Do you know if the Polaner ad will air in the Denver market? Any idea who their ad agency is? Just curious, as I'm in media...

HI Just wondering if you are against "yellow packets" (splenda) Why the Polaner Sugar Free is ok to have? It has sucralose which is what splenda is made out of.

Please explain if there is a difference?

You raise a very good point and I knew, at some point, someone would. First of all, no. You are correct. There is no difference between Splenda and sucralose. Splenda is the brand name for that sweetener. Here is my take on this. I do not use Splenda on a daily basis and do not believe it is the best option as a sweetener. However, I also don't believe in "GOOD" and "BAD" foods. Yes, in general, broccoli and brussel sprouts can be considered 'good' for you and a Snickers bar 'bad' but the goal is long term health without deprivation. You have to find a balance. Do I use this product every day? No. However, it was a great opportunity to promote the importance of getting more fiber in your diet. I believe any small change people can make towards health is a good one. I hope this answers your question sufficiently. You can always send another email to info@livwhole.com should you have any more questions or want further clarification.
Best In Health and Happiness,
