    What I Ate Wednesday

    Oct 11, 2017 • What I Ate

    Good morning loves! I have a very exciting announcement!!

    Tonight is the Phenom Foundation’s 1st Annual Mutt Strut in Chicago (Bucktown), and I’ll be walking an adoptable rescue dog down the runway with other influencers and models. Isn’t that the cutest idea ever?!! Eek!! If you are in Chicago, I would LOVE to see you there. Tickets are $35 (includes drinks and light bites) and proceeds go towards animal relief efforts in Puerto Rico, following the hurricane (buy tickets here). 

    I’m SO excited, a little nervous and hope I’m not sobbing by the end when I can’t take home all the precious pups that need a home… but it’s for a great cause and I’ll do anything for the animals! 

    Mutt Strut Event Info:

    • Date: Wednesday, October 11th from 6:30-9PM
    • Location: 2605 W Armitage Ave, Chicago, IL 60647
    • Tickets = $35 (includes light bites + drinks (beer and wine) >>> BUY TICKETS HERE!

    Hope to see you there!

    HYDRATION:

    My morning hydration was 32 ounces of filtered water with liquid iodine – I swear by this addition to my routine, mostly for PMS issues! Pair it with 2-3 brazil nuts too. Read more about that here! 

    I drink my water out of this huge 32 ounce mason jar, 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.  

    BREAKFAST: 

    Breakfast was the yummiest pumpkin & coconut yogurt jar! Ate this along with my supplements.

    Pumpkin & Coconut Yogurt Jar

    1 cup plain coconut yogurt (I like the unsweetened from So Delicious)
    1/2 cup pur?ed pumpkin
    2 tablespoons chia seeds
    1 tablespoon ground flax
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/4 cup almond milk
    1/2 chopped apple
    lots of sunflower seed butter
    topped with Purely Elizabeth granola

    SNACK: 

    I had a facial appointment (at Mariola’s Organic Spa) and wanted a snack before since my breakfast was pretty early, so I snacked on another apple and a piece of toast with dairy-free Kite Hill Cream Cheese and red pepper flakes. Yesss. Also, the facial was amazing and SO relaxing, I highly recommend!

    LUNCH: 

    Looks very styled – I know! It is a deliciously styled food pic for Nutiva (Cool Cucumber Ranch recipe will be on my instagram) but basically its a big plate of kale, roasted broccoli & cauliflower, and roasted butternut squash with pepita seeds! It really hit the spot 🙂

    DINNER:

    Dinner was similar to lunch with the roasted veggies and squash, but also with a yummy veggie burger (using this recipe, which I make often!).

    DESSERT:

    Coconut Date Rolls dipped in Sunflower Seed Butter (amazing combo) and a handful of walnuts. Also, a nightly cup of my Calming Magnesium Beauty Sleep Tea before bed!

    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 🙏🏼
