2 days down and 12 to go. And I’m feeling good so far. Hungry…but good.
But honestly, I do feel clean. Very clean on the inside :) I don’t feel weighed down or foggy. I don’t feel full and lazy. I feel energetic, healthy and great! Just a tinge hungry…
Since I am documenting my eats for the next few weeks, I have decided to participate in a blog link up called What I Ate Wednesday or WIAW. It’s a fun and exciting link party thrown by Jenn of Peas and Crayons where bloggers from all over the blogosphere share their delicious eats for a day.
This month’s theme is Summer Staples. When I think of summer, I think of fruit (surprised?). And drinking a nice cold smoothie filled with fresh and juicy fruit is a great way to stay cool in the summer heat. Enter today’s breakfast…
Breakfast:
Green Berry Shake: Blend 1 cup mixed greens, 1 cup blueberry, 1 cup milk (I mixed cows milk and almond milk), 1 tbsp flaxseeds, dash of cinnamon and 6 ice cubes.
1 egg, hardboiled
Snack #1:
2 organic lightly salted brown rice cakes, 1 tbsp unsalted peanut butter, 1 banana and 8 oz organic low-fat milk
Lunch:
2 sprouted corn tortillas each topped with 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 1/2 oz turkey and a handful of mixed greens
1 cup organic black bean vegetable soup
Snack #2:
1/2 grapefruit and 1 tbsp flaxseeds
Dinner:
3 oz chicken, seasoned with salt, pepper and paprika
3 oz sweet potato, baked
2 cups spinach sautéed in 2 tsp olive oil with 1 clove garlic, minced
Biggest success of the day…
Hardboiled eggs. I made perfect hardboiled eggs. I have made hardboiled eggs before, but this hardboiled egg was the best I have ever tasted. It has been a while since I hardboiled an egg so I googled a how to and follow this “recipe”. It was perfect! I highly suggest giving it a try…unless you have your own magical way to make hardboiled eggs, in which case…Please share :)
Since tomorrow is my weekly CSA link party, I won’t be posting my eats. But I will make sure to post Wednesday’s meals on Thursdays post. Double the pleasure, double the fun. Can’t wait until Thursday? If you want a sneak peek, follow me on Instagram (inherchucks).
OMG!! I thought my mom and I were the only people who ate rice cakes with peanut butter and banana!! It’s one of our favorite snacks!
So good. I used to eat them back in the day. My mom got me started when I was little. Such a great combo :)
Your grapefruit looks awesome, I’ve never thought of adding flax, but now I totally want to! Thanks for the sharing and suggestion!
My pleasure…Thanks for stopping by!
That looks like a really well balanced meal plan. 5-6 smaller meals are perfect, and once you get used to that you won’t be hungry any more. I also like that you are sticking to some go-tos every day. I find when I eat similarly every day it’s harder to fall off track.
Good tip. When you find something that works, go with it :)
Yay! It’s great being able to cook a hard boiled egg without that yucky ring that makes it taste so ashy. :D I actually didn’t know how to PROPERLY boil an egg until several months ago. I’d been boiling them way too long for years! I stumbled across “http://its-fitting.com/2012/01/good-enough-to-eat-do-you-know-how-to-boil-an-egg.html”.
Cool link. Looking forward to checking it out. thanks for sharing!
Delicious healthy foods! I love your blog name :)
Thanks. Likewise…LOVE sweet potatoes :)
Looks great!
Thanks Christiana :)
I’m glad to hear about your hard boiled egg success! I must say, grapefruit and flaxseeds seems like an interestin combo, so I guess I’ll be testing that out!
Thanks Anna! It wasn’t too bad. Added a little crunch to it :)
