Upgraded Avocado Brownies & My "Heck Yeah" Strategy
🍫 Y’all. Brownies happen. I’m realistic. And I wanna be a normal human and just roll with it! Here’s my strategy:
🍬 1. I don’t eat food that isn’t worth it to me. I call this my “Heck Yeah” principle. I’m a baked goods kind of gal, not a candy person. So why eat candy when it’s not my thing? I stay within my Heck Yeahs when it comes to treat foods. Candy, no. Brownies, heck yeah! Be discerning and don’t settle for less than what you really love.
⏰ 2. I fast and eat sugar detox friendly foods most of the time, so I have the wiggle room to add in splurges when I want them. No guilt here, sister.
🥑 3. I upgrade my choices where I can. These brownies are gluten and grain free and have avocado as a major ingredient!!! The recipe is below if you want to get the deets. 🔎
Food peace is rad, my friend. It’s one of the reasons I created my Feast 2 Fast 4 Week Metabolic Makeover program. Because if your diet isn’t sustainable for your “real life”, you won’t get the results you crave. ✌🏻
Now without further ado, onto the recipe…
