One of my favourite combinations is sourdough (proud to say I make it!), butter, peanut butter (loving the straight from nuts peanut butter made by ), with a little honey and finished off with a sliced banana. That’s today’s post-church indulgence.
When I last wore a CGM (continuous glucose monitor), this very combination produced one of my highest spikes, I didn’t want to believe it, but I can’t deny the impact of it that follows. A level of euphoria during the high, which is steadily followed by a rapid crash, mirrored in my slump in energy levels.
That’s why it’s my Sunday morning indulgence. I know the cost that this delicious combo comes with, and I plan around it, understanding what is going on in my body’s chemistry.
I enjoy every gorgeous mouthful, savoring the sticky gooey, thick in my mouth experience.
There is not one iota of guilt or regret.
Because it’s Sunday.
Because the rest of the time I actually eat to serve my body and support it during all the demands I place on it each week. I enjoy eating to fuel my body, i can control so much of how I feel each day.
I have recently moved towards a much greater protein focus, and so this meal DEFINITELY doesn’t fit with my current strategy.
But it’s Sunday, and a little indulgence makes all the difference.
