    What I Ate Wednesday and What I am Loving

    May 21, 2014 • What I Ate

    Hey there, today is What I Ate Wednesday! These posts are fun to do, it forces me to jot down what I’m eating, and maybe to make better decisions 🙂 you should try journaling your food intake for a few days, you may learn something or recognize areas that can be improved!

    Of course I had my usual large glass of warm water with the fresh juice from half a lemon. I bought a new milk blend from Whole Foods of almond milk, cashew milk and hazelnut milk to try in my coffee — it was pretty good! Also I added a couple teaspoons of coconut sugar. And then the yummiest green tropical smoothie ever!! You have to try it! It consisted of a ton of spinach, 2-3 cups fresh pineapple, 2 bananas, 3 tbsp. hemp hearts, 2 tbsp. coconut oil, Almond Breeze Almond Coconut Milk (SO friggin’ delicious) and ice. YUM. The perfect smoothie for anyone new to green smoothies/juices.

     

    I was hungry an hour or two after the green smoothie, so I had an orange with a Pure Organic Cherry Cashew Bar.

    I love having huge salads for lunch, you can pack in a bunch of veggies and it’s filling, if you add in the right foods. This salad was spring mix lettuce & spinach, with quinoa (under all the veggies), celery, purple cabbage, red pepper, red onion, hemp hearts and sunflower seeds. And a simple homemade vinaigrette dressing, I need to post a salad/dressing recipe soon.

    I had a handful of pistachios as a little snack later on! Dinner was two falafels (yummy recipe coming soon), hummus, pita crackers and a greek veggie salad with cucumber, tomato, red pepper and black olives. And a glass of red wine.

    I am warning you, what I ate next is highly addicting and I kinda wish I didn’t buy them! Definitely not the healthiest dessert but sometimes, you gotta live a little. I had to stop myself from eating all of them. They are a cookie/graham cracker mix with a brown sugary topping from Trader Joe’s. With a little almond milk on the side. OMG. Seriously, don’t buy them. 

     

     

    Have you heard of the Tone It Up girls?! I have been meaning to share their workout videos for a while. They had a show on Bravo a few months back. ANOTHER reason I am a Cali girl wannabe 😉 ugh I have to move to Cali already! They are so fun and I love their Bikini Series workouts. They are already in week 4 of their Bikini Series challenge, but it’s never too late to start. I do 2-3 videos for an awesome workout 🙂 and most of their videos are on the beach! I am loving their “Bikini Body Routine 2” video at the moment. Let me know if you try their workouts, or if you already are loving them!!

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 🙏🏼
