    What I Ate Wednesday

    Apr 12, 2017 • What I Ate

    Good morning! 

    Getting back into ‘What I Ate Wednesday’ posts after missing the last two weeks.

    Life has been crazy busy over here, in a good way! I hope you guys are having a great week. Don’t forget to enter my two major giveaways happening right now, ending tomorrow.

    1. My $100 Whole Foods Giveaway in this Vegan Easter Basket post
    2. My Salad Power Giveaway (3 winners) in this 5 Vegan Travel Snack Ideas post

    Alright, let’s get into my full day of yummy, plant based vegan eats!


    HYDRATION:

    Every single morning, before anything else, I drink a huge mason jar of filtered water (today, with 1/2 lemon). Water is crucial in keeping my skin clear and the texture smooth. I use this ginormous mason jar all day every day because no one cup is ever big enough for my water needs, and I’m not wasting a zillion plastic water bottles. Plus, I can measure out my water intake since I aim for 2-3 liters per day.

    Sometimes it’s my Mermaid Lemonade instead of plain lemon water, (or my Turmeric Glow Lemonade). So many of you have been loving the Mermaid Lemonade though, which makes me beyond happy! #MermaidLife

    Mermaid Lemonade Recipe

    BREAKFAST:

    After oil pulling, flossing, brushing my teeth and drinking my lemon water, something tragic happened!

    I go to make coffee since that’s the next step in my morning routine, only to realize I’m completely OUT. Not even a single coffee ground to spare. How did I let that happen?! UGH.

    So instead, I made the ready-to-blend Cold Brew + Almond Energizer smoothie from Daily Harvest, until I could run to the store later. It basically tastes like a caramel frappuccino… yup. I blended in frozen cauliflower and this Vega Protein for extra plant power. Topped with raw cacao nibs!

    Plus, a few of my no-bake peanut butter energy balls.

    *For 3 FREE DAILY HARVEST SMOOTHIES with your first order, use coupon code: glowingfridge

    What I Ate Wednesday

    SNACK: 

    Later on, I sipped on one of these iced matcha lattes while working! If you follow along on insta stories and snapchat (glowingfridge) you would know I got some NEW matcha powder after finding out there are two different types: ceremonial grade and culinary. Ceremonial grade is much more vibrant in color and meant for drinking in teas, lattes etc. while culinary matcha is meant more for baking and sweets. Ceremonial grade is a little more expensive but tastes WAY better and is naturally sweeter. SO worth it. P.S. I froze the remaining glass in an ice cube tray to add in smoothies!

    What I Ate Wednesday - Iced Matcha Green Tea Latte

    ICED MATCHA LATTE RECIPE: (makes one serving)

    2 tablespoon hot water + teaspoon Aiya matcha powder
    1 cup unsweetened cashew milk (or any plant milk)
    2 teaspoons pure maple syrup (or agave)
    handful of ice

    In a small bowl, add matcha powder, then hot water. Whisk to form a matcha paste. Fill a tall glass or mason jar with ice. Pour in cashew milk, then stir in matcha paste and maple syrup, to taste. Enjoy!

    What I Ate Wednesday. Coconut Chia Pudding
    Then I also snacked on chia pudding made with coconut milk, in my new weck jar! I didn’t eat the whole jar of chia pudding – probably only 1/3 of it. I can only eat so much chia pudding ha.

    LUNCH: 

    Lunch was styled for the Salad Power Giveaway so it looks super purrrty! A glow bowl of purple and green kale, brown rice, lightly steamed broccoli, cauliflower & carrots with cubed tempeh and jalape?o Farmhouse Culture kraut. Plus a tahini lemon dressing (recipe here) with a Just Veggies Salad Power Juice. So yum!

    SNACK:

    Baby carrots dipped in my fave oil-free Engine 2 Hummus – the jalape? cilantro flavor!

     

    DINNER:

    After a booty workout at the gym, I was starved for dinner! It was another quick glow bowl (similar to lunch), with purple kale, steamed broccoli, quinoa and white beans, plus leftover dill cucumber sauce and a berry la croix!

    Along with a cup of Calming Magnesium Beauty Sleep Tea later on, to finish out the night.

    Hope you enjoyed this What I Ate Wednesday!

      wait, i had NO idea there were two types of matcha?! i must have the culinary kind, it’s not sweet at all and i always forget to add sweetener until i take a sip and kind of cringe…haha

      am also obsessed with cashew milk, it’s so creamy!

      i made a sweet potato bowl for breakfast this week with nut butter and granola, which was delish, and gluten-free apple spice blondies made with coconut flour – SO good!

    Did your hair stop growing? Mine was stuck at the Did your hair stop growing?

Mine was stuck at the same length too for a while. But now I know your scalp is an extension of your skin and needs to be nourished and taken care of in order for healthy hair growth. The scalp ages 6x faster than the skin on your face 🤯 it needs love and care, too. Especially if you want length and strength.

My hair oil is unique and made of different botanicals, antioxidants, omegas and nutrients your scalp is craving. If your hair is struggling but you eat healthy, you may want to consider a hair oil to fill in the gaps. I’ve noticed new thickness and growth from it being nourished and fed nutrients from within. The SHINE is the most surprising part!!! It’s honestly jaw-dropping. It keeps getting better because it’s a LIQUID VITAMIN for all hair types.
 
Figuring out the right custom plan for you is key. I want to help customize a plan for you because everyone should experience these results.

And definitely my dream come true to be home with her all day. Never missing her much needed cuddle moments. I need her just as much as she needs me. Nothing else matters, really. I don’t need to be a girl boss or CEO of a company that separates us all day. I’m a mommy first and I sell shampoo, second. It’s actually the best of both worlds because I get to raise her and also have an income of my own.

If you’ve been yearning for something like this, there’s no better time. The holidays are coming!!!

    Are you chasing the new shiny object? There will Are you chasing the new shiny object?

There will always be some new trend or way to make money online. But are they sustainable? Or just a way to make a quick buck? One thing we all have in common is we all want to build a long-term sustainable business to make an income from home! We all sell shampoo, we all want different things for our families and we all took a leap of faith in starting our beauty businesses. And we all started somewhere. Instead of chasing the newest ways to make money, it’s so much more authentic to share something you love and use daily 👄🧴🫧🧖‍♀️

    A DREAM ☁️☁️ You guys. This is a dream co A DREAM ☁️☁️

You guys. This is a dream come true. Getting better hair (completely frizz free 🙂) and making an income. I love what I do and the best part is it’s all from my phone and with my baby by my side. No daycare or nanny, it’s all from my phone. Now you do have to put in time and work for it to work, but it’s such a blessing. I’m so grateful every single day.

If you love beauty products and have a go-getter attitude, we need to talk!! I want to teach you how to do this.
