I got a chance to try my first recipe from the
Fixate cookbook today! Of course, it was a dessert recipe! Now, before you look at the ingredients and turn your nose up let me tell you, I did JUST THAT a few months ago! I remember a friend of mine posting a similar recipe and I had the same face you are probably going to have here in a few seconds. As a result, I never gave them a try. I was surprised to see them in Fixate and since I had the ingredients, I figured I'd just give them a try!
Both my 3 and 5 year old daughters LOVED them, and so did my hubby! In fact, my girls helped me make them! I encourage YOU to give them a try! Let me know what you think!
For those following the color coded portion control plan like the 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, Insanity Max 30, or Cize, this would be considered 1 YELLOW CONTAINER.
