Breakfast:
a green smoothie made with a huge handful of spinach and frozen berries,
4 dates and a banana for sweetness
coconut milk plus Hemp protein powder, Acai powder and Maca powder to add some antioxidants and extra nutrients.
It came out brown again!
For lunch I wanted something more substantial. I had one of those avocados that just won’t go soft.
So I sliced it up and cooked it with some ham and added both to a 3 egg omelette. The avocado was still not great but overall the omelette was really good.
I pulled up some parsnips, carrots, beetroot and potatoes from the garden for supper. Scrubbed the vegetables, added a corn cob I found lurking about in the fridge, drizzled with oil, seasoned and baked in the oven on about 190 °C for 40 – 50 minutes.
Served with Chèvre Blanc. The chalky saltiness of the cheese complemented the sweetness of the root vegetables. Very tasty.
This would have been a pretty good days eating, if only I hadn’t succumbed to some chocolate and almonds. I am enjoying eating the healthy food but really struggling to not eat the junk too. Help!
Chocolate is good for you and so are almonds. Did you have too much? It sounds like a great snack to me.
I only had a few almonds. Not due to restraint but because Harvey ate the rest! I ate way too much chocolate though 😦
