In January 2026, many of us will take part in the 30-Day Label Coach4aday Challenge. Each day we will share a label from a food product and share info about one of the ingredients. The goal is simple—read food labels, research unfamiliar ingredients, and become more intentional about what you’re putting into your body, building awareness that can lead to healthier, more mindful eating. Today my post is on GARLIC POWDER.

This month has made me more skeptical about how pure and natural packaged foods really are. Today, I was pleasantly surprised by one of the most commonly used spices in our household: garlic powder. I expected to see an anti-caking agent or preservative listed, but it turned out to be nothing more than dehydrated garlic ground into a powder.

Label-30 Day Challenge Guidelines

As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to sharing an ingredient from a food label during the month of January.

1. Locate a label on a food product and research an ingredient you might not be familiar with.  
2. Share with a challenge partner if you have one what that ingredient is.
3. Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge

January 25th-Garlic Powder & Spice Blends

Garlic powder is a staple in many spice blends because it adds consistent, savory flavor without moisture. Common spice mix combinations that include it are Italian seasoning (garlic, oregano, basil, thyme), taco seasoning (garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika), and barbecue rubs (garlic, onion powder, paprika, brown sugar, pepper).
