    What I Ate Wednesday

    Feb 22, 2017 • What I Ate

     

    Hello my sweet friends!

    As per usual, we have another What I Ate Wednesday, plant based vegan style.

    Hope your week is going fab! Let’s get into my yummy eats. 


    HYDRATION:

    Every single morning, water, water water, before anything else, as you guys already know!

    I make sure to drink 24 ounces (3 cups) of filtered water every single morning, sometimes with 1/2 lemon. I use this ginormous mason jar all day every day because no one cup is ever big enough?? Plus, I can measure out my water intake and try to drink 3 mason jars filled with water per day. Water helps to rehydrate the body after a long night?s rest when we get dehydrated and is so essential to wake up the body and start on the right track. Also, my skin looks so much smoother and stays clear!

    Forgot to add spirulina powder like last week, but oh well. Read more on that here.

    Then a couple cups coffee… hashtag coffee addict, with my fave non-dairy creamer and you guys ask me all the time which I use ? the Silk Almond Vanilla Flavored Creamer (check out my superfood coffee elixir recipe too!).

    BREAKFAST:

    My typical berries and greens smoothie with:

    2 huge handfuls of baby kale
    2 ripe & spotty bananers
    1 cup frozen mixed berries
    1 scoop Vega Protein and Greens (in the Berry flavor)
    1 teaspoon maca powder
    1/2 cup filtered water
    1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

    SNACK: 

    A little while later, when working on my Meal Plan eBook (!!), I snacked on blueberries (not pictured) and a few no-bake energy balls, except instead of the PB Fit Peanut Butter Powder, I swapped in cacao powder and then rolled them in cacao powder too. Perfect for a healthy chocolate fix!!

    LUNCH: 

    Lunch was a similar version of my Hippie Macro Glow Bowl, with kale, quinoa, tempeh, steamed broccoli, cucumber and ginger tahini sauce. SO BOMB. Macro bowls are giving me life.

    Here’s the recipe for my Ginger Tahini Sauce (makes 4 servings for the week! 1/3 cup per serving):

    • 1/2 cup tahini
    • 1/2 cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
    • 1/4 cup water
    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon ground ginger (or more, to taste)
    • pinch of sea salt

    *Whisk all ingredients together until creamy!

    SNACK:

    For a little pre-workout fuel, I snacked on a fuji apple with a cinnamon toast rice cake! Obsessed. All the sweet snacks today 🙂

    DINNER:

    After a brutal back workout at the gym with Terry, he came over for dinner so I made lentil tacos, which I’ve been testing for my meal plan eBook. So yummy! Just a mix of lentils, bell pepper, zucchini and taco spices in corn tortillas with romaine, avocado, red cabbage and jalape?o. We also snacked on chips and salsa while I was making them!

    I snuck in a handful of vegan chocolate chips afterward too… it’s been quite the hormonal week ha. Oh, also, a glass of CALM tea before bed!! Been having this every night lately 🙂

    ?

    Hope you enjoyed this What I Ate Wednesday! 

    Did you make anything yummy this week?! Leave me a comment below!

    Also, if you?re ever wanting to look at past ?What I Ate? posts, they?re archived under the ?What I Ate? category.


    I love seeing your creations! Let me know if you tried any of my recipes and snap a pic of your gorg creation on instagram with the hashtag #theglowingfridge! Tag me in your pics on Facebook too so I can see them!

    Love you guys!

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- breakfast tacos with pastured eggs
- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
