What I Ate Wednesday

Good morning! 

Hope you’re havin a splendid week so far. Happy hump day! Did you see yesterday’s post about my secret period hack for bloating…? It really, truly works! 

HYDRATION:

My morning water was Mermaid Lemonade! Mostly because spirulina is on the list for the luteal phase – and Mermaid Lemonade is so dang puuurty. Sometimes my morning hydration is lemon water, sometimes it’s good old plain water, but you guys know I won’t go without lots of water first thing… every single morning! Is it weird to show you my water intake?! I don’t know ha, but itis imperative for keeping my skin clear and smooth. 

P.S. >> I use this huge 32 ounce 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. I also use this water filter which is a zillion times better than Brita, but any filtered water is better than tap so do what you can.  

BREAKFAST: 

I’ve been waking up pretty hungry lately, so I quicklymade a protein smoothie with 2 slices of avocado toast, topped with hemp seeds and red pepper flakes. It made for the perfect breakfast, along with my supplements too.

Green Protein Smoothie:

• 2 handfuls spinach
• 1/2 frozen banana
• 2 tablespoons chia
• 1 tablespoon almond butter
• 1/2 scoop Vega Sport vanila protein
• 1 scoop Amazing Grass Raw Reserve greens powder
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
• 1/4 cup filtered water
• topped with cacao nibs for crunch!

SNACKS:

I snacked on some caramel coconut chips mid-morning and then some english cucumber while making my lunch bowl. I can’t get over Taz’s nose peeking out!!! He’s my everything.

LUNCH: 

I was working from home all day, so I made a plant powered glow bowl for lunch! With mixed Organic Girl super greens, steamed sweet potato and sautéed broccoli with tomatoes, plus a spoonful of my go-to tahini sauce that I make almost weekly. So yum and nourishing.

P.S. >> shop my distressed denim shorts (under $20!) and pink free people bralette/sports bra (on sale for $25!) and also the matching pink leggings that are SO comfortable I could live in them (also on major sale)!

SNACKS:

Pre-workout snack: Health Warrior bar in Mango flavor and a cup of fennel tea! Read more on why I love fennel tea here. 

DINNER:

A super simple dinner of steamed broccoli, kale tossed with my cucumber dill tzatziki sauce and greek chickpea burgers that I’m testing out.. they were a little dry so still working on it!

DESSERT:

A handful (or two) of vegan dark chocolate chips 🙂 plus a warm cup of Calming Magnesium Beauty Sleep Tea as per usual, before bed!
