    What I Ate Wednesday

    May 17, 2017 • What I Ate

     

    Hiii! 

    Hope you’re having the best week so far. Summer has arrived here in Chicago and you know what that means… all is well in the world again 😉

    Here’s all my noms from yesterday!


    HYDRATION:

    Can’t go without lots of water first thing. Every morning! Water is imperative for keeping my skin clear and smooth. I use this ginormous mason jar all day every day because I can measure out how much I’m drinking (I aim for 2-3 liters per day) and I’m not wasting plastic water bottles. 

    Today it was plain filtered water using this water filter which is a zillion times better than Brita, but any filtered water is better than tap so do what you can. Sometimes it’s lemon water, sometimes its Mermaid Lemonade but when I’m too lazy, plain water does the trick.

    What I Ate Wednesday. A full day of yummy plant based vegan eats! From cauliflower smoothies and glow bowls to thai noodle bowls and chia bites!

    Still going strong with no caffeine… even though I really REALLY want coffee. Man this coffee addiction is real. I rely on caffeine more than I thought… but teecino is saving me and giving me a fake fix. Teecino is caffeine-free herbal coffee (brewed the same way as regular coffee) and smells/tastes heavenly (I love the vanilla nut flavor!) I know its a zillion times better for my bod than acidic caffeine which makes it worthwhile as I try to get my hormones back in balance. I frothed it up with a splash of hazelnut So Delicious creamer and cinnamon (helps to balance blood sugar).

    BREAKFAST: 

    Breakfast was a NEW smoothie recipe that posted yesterday – my ‘Creamy Cauliflower Coconut Smoothie’ and tasted like melty coconut ice cream… YUM. Obsessed with this blend. Check out that smoothie spillage tho.

    SNACK: 

    A few of my usual no-bake pb energy balls, with vanilla Vega Protein and Greens powder instead of powdered peanut butter, extra chia seeds and without the coconut sugar. You guys have been loving my lemon coconut energy balls! I see you making them 🙂

    LUNCH: 

    Lunch was this gorgeous bowl of kale, crumbled tempeh, chickpeas, a little quinoa, steamed broccoli, kale sprouts and the Cucumber Dill Vegan Tzatziki Sauce from my Greek Glow Bowl that I can’t get enough of. Fresh dill is where its at. 

    What I Ate Wednesday. A full day of yummy plant based vegan eats! From cauliflower smoothies and glow bowls to thai noodle bowls and chia bites!

    SNACK:

    Pre-workout snack: Health Warrior Vanilla Almond Chia Bar. So yummy and way more filling than a larabar!

    DINNER:

    Terry joined me after the gym for a variation of my Crunchy Thai Noodle Bowls with temeph instead of edamame, zoodles, carrot noodles, rice noodles, baby kale, cashews and the spiciest almond butter sauce. This is one of his favorites! You have to try these bowls. We started watching The Handmaids Tale on Hulu and my eyes are glued to the screen while my mouth is open in awe during the entire show. No joke. If you need a new show to watch, check that one out for sure.

    DESSERT:

    I made Flourless Peanut Butter Zucchini Brownies from Hummusapien and they were yummy, although they kinda fell apart… don’t think I let them cool for long enough. Super easy to make though and hit the sweet spot.

    Plus a cup of Calming Magnesium Beauty Sleep Tea before bed!

    bottomless king coffee please 🖤 #tiredmama wh bottomless king coffee please 🖤 #tiredmama 

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 🙏🏼
