Soda Challenge
I'm halfway on the 30-day soda challenge. I have some free passes from earlier challenges, so what happens if I choose to have soda on Christmas and use a pass? Does it extend my challenge?

DietID_TeamDietitians One new favorite find that has helped me is cinnamon spice tea. I drink it with no added sugar or milk, and the natural sweetness of the cinnamon satisfies my cravings.

Does matcha count?
I was wondering if matcha power counted as a fruit/vegetable since the powder is litterally ground up tea leaf. You don't just infuse it, you eat the fibers too. Does my matcha latte count as a por...

Brianne I discovered this from my own experimentation. I haven't done much 'calculation,' as suggested in the article, but I do try to swap in sugary snacks for more protein-dense snacks whenever possible.

DietID_TeamDietitians Yum!! This looks delicious. One tip for yogurt - be sure to check the label on fruit yogurt for any added sugar. Some yogurts have a TON, but others are light on added sugar, like Siggi's. You can...

Thank you :) I haven't had soda at all during the soda challenges, so I thought the passes were from earlier challenges, but I seem to have 5 to use for this one :D

annefood
Yes exactly! 5 slips over 30 days. And congrats for not using any passes in your previous levels! That's fantastic!
