Day 2 - 30 Day No Ultra Processed Food Challenge!
Day 2 of the 30 Day No Ultra Processed Food Challenge!
I miss soda!! But I found out that beer and wine is NOT ultra processed, so I'll enjoy those every now and then. Just FYI - hard liquors (rum, whiskey, ect), colored beers, and seltzers ARE ultra-processed.
I tried natural peanut butter (with just roasted peanuts and oil) because regular peanut butter is considered an ultra-processed food. You guys... it's different... But you stir it up and it went great with apples.
I was hoping to make homemade spaghetti sauce, but before I knew it 7:30 PM had rolled around. Luckily I had found this Ragu spaghetti sauce that only has 8 natural ingredients and is NOT considered ultra processed (most spaghetti sauces out there are - check the ingredients!)
I also made some Zucchini Bread (don't knock it till you try it!) Here is the recipe if you want to try it out!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup grated zucchini
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup UNSWEETENED applesauce (if you want to stay away from ultra processed foods...)
1/3 cup butter (vegetable oil works too, but I like butter better)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup flour (I like unbleached unbromated flour)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp to 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice depending on preference (if you don't have pumpkin pie spice you can use 1/2 tsp cinnamon)
Directions:
Add grated zucchini, sugar, brown sugar, apple sauce, oil, eggs, and vanilla and stir till it is well combined.
In a SEPARATE bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice/cinnamon. Stir till well blended.
Pour flour bowl mixture into the zucchini mixture. Stir until flour is moistened - do NOT overmix.
Pour into a greased 9x5 pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50 - 54 minutes. A toothpick should come out of the middle with moist crumbs.
Let rest for 10 minutes - after 10 minutes, say a prayer and take it out of the pan. Cool on wire rack.
You can eat it right away - but I think it's better after it's been in the fridge.
Store leftovers in the fridge.
