I got rid of a few pounds of fat, easily and painlessly, and without breaking a sweat. It didn’t even cost me a dime. I just searched the kitchen cupboards for any unwanted fat and traded it in for less fatty foods.
Last month, Galaxy Granola kicked off their first ever Fat Swap at the Palo Alto Whole Foods. “Fruit not fat” is their motto and they’re aiming to lose 10,000 pounds of fat in 90 days.
While there, I also tried a sample of the Galaxy Granola, it’s baked with fruit instead of oil. It’s good and has less fat than other granolas, but only the Not Sweet Vanilla is vegan. All their other flavors have honey in them.
The next fat swap is this Saturday, July 10th at the Cupertino Whole Foods. But you don’t live in the Bay Area?
You can still participate, just pack up your fatty food and mail in the box. They’ll send you back an equal weight of healthy alternatives, ie, send in a bottle of oil and get apple sauce back to use in baking.
Seems like a great deal to me if you got any high fat food lying around. For some reason, I didn’t have that much (probably because I ate it already). Check out their website for the all details, rules and deadline.
Cool, I got all sorts of junk I can trade in. Thanks!
I especially love the title of this post! Galaxy Granola sounds like my kind of cereal. I’ll have to look for some since lately I’m too lazy to make my own.
How cool is that! Swaping out the old, in with the new? I’ve always wanted to try Galaxy Granola. I have a granola recipe that uses fruit instead of fat. It’s good.
Sounds like really good granola! I usually avoid granola because of the high fat content but I just might try Galaxy out. :)
What a great idea! How is the granola? I love granola, but I have cut it out of my diet due to the high fat/sugar content.
Interesting and fun idea to trade in unhealthy foods for better choices! If only shipping was free…!
What a cool marketing thing–definitely sends the right (& delicious!) message out to the community!
