    What I Ate Wednesday

    Jun 25, 2014 • What I Ate

    Happy Wednesday! Hope you are having a nice week so far. Today I am sharing a simple What I Ate Wednesday post, but you know it’s actually from yesterday 🙂 which was quite the yummy day! 

    I planned to workout so I started my morning with a huge glass of water with freshly squeezed juice from 1 lime, some coffee with almond milk and stevia, and 1 large ripe banana! Following my workout I had overnight oats that I prepared the night before! That was my first time trying #ooiaj (overnight oats in a jar) and they were better than I was expecting. I mixed oats with almond milk and cinnamon for the bottom layer, then layered on a bunch of blueberries followed by more oats with almond milk and topped it with mango! There are a bunch of sweet recipes on pinterest but next time I think I will try pb&j overnight oats. It’s quick, easy and ready when you wake up the next morning. Perfect!

    The rest of the day was kind of sporadic with regards to meals! I was so focused on some behind the scenes bloggy work. I snacked on some almonds with a large juicy red grapefruit! I’ve been loving grapefruit lately.

    Then a bit later,  I quickly made Raspberry Banana “Nice Cream” which was heavenly. Perfect for an afternoon boost of energy. All you do is place 2 frozen ripe sliced bananas in a food processor with a little almond milk and blend until smooth. Then I threw in about 10 fresh raspberries and some Berry Bliss Philosophie superfood powder (Thanks to Sophie for sending me some!) and blended some more. I added a little more almond milk as well. You can’t beat homemade ice cream that takes less than 5 minutes!

    Dinner was an easy whole wheat pita pocket filled with mixed greens, red pepper, tempeh and dijon mustard. Alongside some tomatoes, cucumber and hummus of course!

     Later on I just had to have a few pieces of my Easy Vegan Chocolate Fudge. Except in this batch, I swirled in peanut butter and sprinkled some mini vegan chocolate chips on top. Chocolate craving? Obvi. That fudge was so delectable, its not even fair!!

    Thats it for What I Ate Wednesday. Hope you enjoyed!

      No oats of course I don’t have the sienctific reason I seem to be intolerant and I don’t lose when there is oats (or carbs like potatoes, rice, etc) in my diet. So right now, I am mostly green vegetables + lean protein. I have blueberries once every 5 days (2 meals in the day) and I still have cottage cheese, and peanut butter every day. Cheat meals are long gone too. Very strict. I know. I would love to be able to lose weight easily and keep eating the good stuff! eheh But for some reason, the magic formula hasn’t been found yet Of course, when I am not prepping, it’s another story!!! But 10 weeks out .I’ll definitively try it without oats! Thanx!

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 🙏🏼
