Friends!
Gotta make this snappy, I’m in the midst of packing hubs and I up for our long weekend away in New York (eeekkk!! I can hardly contain my excitement!). I won’t have time to blog before we leave tomorrow evening, and won’t be bringing my computer with me – so expect an EPIC post upon my return, I promise to try and capture as much as I can on camera
As I was laying in bed last night I was thinking to myself, I must make breakfast a little more exciting – I am going to lose all my readers if I show them another breakfast smoothie. When I woke up this morning, the only thing on my mind was . . .
SMOOTHIE – sorry friends, I wanted to be more exciting for you, but I just couldn’t do it
This beauty contained 1/2 c water, 1/2 c almond milk, avocado, 6 cherries, 1/2 frozen banana, 1 scoop sunwarrior and 2-3 cups of spinach, topped with dehydrated buckwheat and coconut. Can I tell you how amazing this was – sometimes the simpler a smoothie is, the better it is. As much as I love the superfoods, maca, spirulina, etc. Sometimes a smoothie with just plain old whole foods is the way to go – I’m so glad I listened to my craving this morning, because I was definitely satisfied!
About 3hrs later – I made a coffee run – yes another Starbucks Soy Misto (hanging my head in shame). Once I return from NYC, I am really going to work on cutting down my coffee consumption, over the past month or so I have really been letting it get out of control. I think I’ll try and switch to caffeine free herbal teas, and treat myself to Starbucks once in a while – my bank account will definitely thank me for this.
Lunch was delicious:
Gluten Free Brown Rice Tortilla with roasted red pepper hummus, avocado, 2 olives and spinach with a side of cherry tomatoes and carrots and of course more hummus for dippage! As I was working away I may or may not have finished the bag of kettle chips off – I’ll let you decide for yourself
Afternoon snack was a piece of my new favourite raw chocolate I was telling you about:
This is the Caramel flavour (my favourite) as you’ll see below I also have the Maca flavour – which is good, but definitely not as good as the Caramel!
These are pretty pricey – so I doubt I will be buying them on a regular basis – they are on sale right now at my local health food store, so that’s why I’ve been stocking up
If you didn’t know any better, you might mistake my dinner for my lunch, but I assure you there was one main difference . . .
Brown Rice Tortilla with steamed KALE, hummus, avocado, 2 olives with more steamed kale and cauliflower on the side. Ughhh I wish I could grab that wrap out of the screen and take another bite – this was sooo tasty – I think steamed kale has to be my #1 love right now. I really have a hard time digesting raw kale, just steaming it lightly makes a huge difference. Dessert was again, protein pudding – this time however I blended it up with a few frozen sour cherries – it was perfection!
Like usual I needed a little something prior to heading to bed, so I just finished a piece of banana bread – it hit the spot and hopefully now I’ll sleep like a baby!
I hope you enjoyed my four days of food journaling. I’m not sure that I’m going to keep it up. I really love posting some of my meals – but I found it pretty difficult photographing them all. I realized how much of snacker I really am – I think that’s something I really need to work on. I definitely feel better when I eat meals vs. continually snacking throughout the day. Let me know if you guys enjoyed these type of posts – I wouldn’t mind maybe doing a full days eats once a week or so – but I kinda feel like I’m boring you all posting every single meal, every day – especially since I am kind of a creature of habit. I’d love to hear your feedback – after all – I want you all to continue coming back
Ok friends – time for me to get some sleep – I have a very exciting weekend ahead! Can’t wait to fill you all in on the details! I’ll be back with a massive recap upon my return!
Until Then!
xoxo
