Recipe for two:
2 frozen bananas
1 cup of raw baby spinach
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 of an avocado
1 tsp of honey
1 cup of water
Blend till smooth
Who would think that when you blend all these things together, you don't taste what you would normally taste if eaten alone. I loved adding the honey for a bit of sweetness, and look how good honey is for you: http://www.care2.com/greenliving/10-health-benefits-of-honey.html
For snack, I had an apple, this time around, it didn't do it for me. Unfortunately, I had a weak moment; today, at work, there is a staff appreciation day, so, being hungry, I wandered down to see what goodies were around. I walk in, and what do I see, Carb Central! Scones, bagels, cookies, croissants, YUM YUM and more YUM. What do I grab? An apple, and.... dark chocolate covered Pomegranates (Brookside 100 cal pack.) I figured I could have grabbed way worse, and temptation took over, so I took something semi healthy. I'm feeling guilty because I know I probably shouldn't eat anything in a package, and I tried to stop myself twice, but I just went for it. A little voice is telling me, don't worry, dark chocolate is good for you, so I'll just go with that!
Moving on....
For lunch, mixed greens salad with grilled veggies for me, and carrot sticks. For John, another lovely salad and a side of watermelon.
For dinner tonight, we made honey chipotle lime salmon with steamed broccoli and cilantro lime "rice". I Also made a deconstructed guacamole salad-cubed avocado, tomato, and red onion with a little olive oil and vinegar, sprinkle of garlic salt and cumin.
