BDBC #1

[Jane]

I forget the actual percentage of how many people try to loose weight or decide they'll be healthier for the new year, but it's high. So why not start out the BDBC with a health related challenge?

This week (and hopefully weeks after this) you'll need to incorporate some type of fiber into a meal or dish. It could be anything, like your favorite recipe revamped with a fiber twist, a change you made to meals you eat regularly, etc.

Here are a few good sources (there are lots more though!) of fiber to get your mind jogging:

Oatmeal
Flax Seeds
Wheat Flour
Fiber One
Brown Rice

The Rules:
Entries must be posted before Sunday, February 10, 11:59 pm.
A photograph, recipe, or some kind of instructions must be posted to prove that you did it.
A short reflection (could just be a sentence!) about the challenge.

Have fun!

Okay, I'm not too good in cooking but I try to find ways to add fiber in my diet. Last weekend, my mom made me take some mango juice with flax seeds, and I have to be honest, that wasn't too appetizing. Yesterday, as I was thinking of what to have for breakfast, I remembered the BDBC challenge and decided to have some fiber for my morning upper meal. It's nothing fancy, but I had oatmeal.
I used 1 package of instant oatmeal, 1/2 cup water and 1/3 cup milk. I put everything in a bowl, put it into the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes and then added 2 tbsps of Benefiber. I gave it a stir and drizzled sweet honey on top of it. It was simple, but it tasted great! =)
