1. Beat Smart Balance until creamy. Add turbinado and continue to beat for 2 minutes.

 

2. Add yogurt, egg & egg whites, vanilla and bananas - beating the whole time.

 

3. In a separate bowl whisk flours, flax seed meal, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt.

 

4. Slowly add dry mixture to wet mixture and beat only until blended.

 

5. Spray oil into a bread pan and pour in mixture. Put into preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the bread comes out clean. A wooden skewer works best if you have one.

How to do this exercise:

(Always be sure to check with your Dr before performing this or any other new exercise especially if you have heart problems, high or low blood pressure, back or neck problems or are pregnant)

1. Stand with good posture. Zip your abs.

2. Stand on tubing with your feet hips width apart. Tubing should be under your arches to keep tubing in place.

3. Hold tubing and as you exhale lift your right leg and lean slightly to the left with your upper body for balance.

4. Inhale and come back to center. Repeat left.

5. Repeat up to 50times and 3 sets. As your muscles get stronger you can use stronger tubing.
