Join Galaxy Granola’s Fat Swap

Folks, get ready for something BIG. HUGE. FUN. AMAZING!! I’m already starting my kitchen clean out. Just wait until you see the video action…

Galaxy Granola, my all time favorite granola, is hosting the FIRST EVER FAT SWAP. SAY WHAT?!! Galaxy Granola is putting the challenge on us to rid consumer’s diets of 10,000 pounds of fat in just 90 days.  The Fat Swap will kick off on Saturday, June 19 (from 10 am-2 pm) at the Whole Foods in Palo Alto with a Fruit Not Fat BBQ (healthy, yummy food like burgers from Sunshine Burgers), live music and great Fruit Not Fat recipes.  They are asking people to come down, enjoy the BBQ, and fun and also swap out your oil, butter, mayo, potato chips and anything else fatty in your kitchen cupboards for some healthier options.  Literally, bring your fat down and they’ll give you something healthy in return. And what’s best is that with every fat product you donate, you have a chance to win exciting prizes like Whole Foods gift cards ($250 value), Galaxy Granola, and fruit from the Fruit Guys. AWESOME!

Bay Area folks, start cleaning out your cupboards now — the fat swap is coming!!

If you’re not in the Bay Area, don’t fret. You can still participate for a chance to win exciting prizes.  Here’s what you can do:

• Go to your kitchen, grab foods with too much fat, and send them to Galaxy Granola. They will weigh them and send you back an equal weight of fruit alternatives.
• Try Galaxy Granola’s free Fruit Not Fat recipes (easy and delicious) and tell them how many meals you’ve replaced.
