“The Special K Challenge™ & Beyond,”
Now Available on Apple iPad and Amazon Kindle
SAN FRANCISCO (May 10, 2011) Weldon Owen Publishing today announces the release of
The Special K Challenge™ & Beyond for Apple iPad and Amazon Kindle (April 25, $9.99). This is the first-ever book from the Special K® brand. The printed book was released on April 19, 2011. Weldon Owen has produced the electronic version of the book to coincide with the annual spring Special K Challenge™, which kicks off on May 1st.
The Special K Challenge™ & Beyond provides weight managers with additional guidance as they participate in the Special K Challenge™. Featuring 100 recipes, as well as expert fitness and nutrition tips, the book helps women stay on track to meet their weight management goals.
The Special K Challenge™ takes the guesswork out of weight management by allowing participants to replace two meals a day with select Special K® products along with two snacks and a sensible third meal. The Special K Challenge™ & Beyond e-book and printed book address the need for sensible options for the third meal of the day, with delicious recipes that you can enjoy beyond the program.
“The Special K® brand recognized the need to help simplify the promise of the Special K Challenge™ for consumers and offer meal ideas for the third meal of the day,” said Katherine Brooking, RD and author of the foreword in The Special K Challenge™ & Beyond. “The book offers recipe ideas along with supportive information for a healthy lifestyle, which is great because these recipes and information can be used beyond the two weeks of the Challenge.”
The Special K Challenge™ & Beyond includes an array of recipe categories, including vegetarian, seafood, and meat main dishes, as well as appetizers and soups, side dishes and desserts, including the following:
- · Spinach Feta Frittata: This Italian omelet is loaded with fresh spinach and topped with feta cheese, making it wonderful for weekend mornings or a casual weeknight supper.
- · Crispy Baked Crab Cakes with Spicy Rémoulade: Old-fashioned crab cakes take a healthy turn when coated with Special K® cereal and baked instead of fried.
- · Lemon-Pepper Salmon: Good-quality fresh salmon fillets are so delicious on their own that you can season them very simply. Here, a widely available seasoning blend adds bright, citrusy flavors.
- · Sugar and Spice Chews: Each of these low-fat cookies made with Special K® Red Berries cereal is so packed with great texture and flavor that two of them make a satisfying serving.
Published by Weldon Owen Publishing and created under the guidance of expert dietitians,
the new printed book and the electronic versions of the book round out the promise of the Special K Challenge™ with a complete guide to weight management, including fitness and nutrition tips, as well as recipes for all parts of the day.
The Special K Challenge™ & Beyond e-book is now available on Apple’s iBookstore and Amazon.com. The print version is available nationwide at major retailers and bookstores beginning April 2011, with a suggested retail price of $16.99.
