Trim Mint Crispy Cereal {Low Carb, Sugar Free}

Raise your hand if Thin Mint cookies are your favorite…

They are mine too!! With cookie season right around the corner this cereal makes indulging in the flavor of our favorite cookie possible all year long FOR BREAKFAST!!

I've been missing cold crunchy cereal for breakfast, and let's face it some of the options just aren't nearly as fun as crispy minty chocolate cereal with some nice cold almond milk. I was looking to find a cereal that could be enjoyed in my Trim Healthy Mama journey as a fuel pull meal, and couldn't find one. Most of them contain nut or seed flours which aren't allowed during a fuel cycle, See Chapter 28 for more details about that. This is an S though because of the amount of coconut oil.
So I played with ingredients and here we go!!!

Stevia Sweet Juice Concentrate

Trying to cut the costs of using stevia and other sweeteners in our home. I've switched from using splenda for many years for a couple different reasons

1. It increases my pain level from Fibromyalgia and RA
2. It seems to make me crave more and more
3. It isn't as naturally sourced as stevia and some other sweeteners

For baking and cooking I am using Pyure Organic Stevia All-Purpose Sweetener, and found a couple articles about how to ferment Now Foods Organic Stevia, White, 4 Ounce for a liquid version to sweeten my coffee and teas.

I started the fermenting process today with

• 1 TBS  Now Foods Organic Stevia, White, 4 Ounce 
• 2 Cups of Filtered Water

 it takes 48 hours so we will see how it turns out.
