Good morning! Well I am on a mission over the next while, as I mentioned previously, to really focus on my health. After eating pretty much anything I wanted (aside from my egg allergy) I now have restrictions. I’m choosing to look at this in positive light! A challenge of sorts to find new and unique meals I’ve not normally contemplated.
My breakfast today was inspired by the genius Angela of Oh She Glows http://ohsheglows.com/2010/05/03/are-you-an-athlete/ I made my overnight oats – soaked in coconut milk and also had my Chia treat. If you’ve never heard of Ruth’s Hemp Foods, you should
check them out. http://www.ruthshempfoods.com/products/chia-goodness.html SO DELICIOUS! I love the cranberry ginger regularly, and the chocolate is a perfect treat when craving those sweets! This morning was like a special dessert! After soaking the oats and chia overnight (in separate bowls) all I had to do this morning was blend up some of my frozen berries with a bit of water and milk, layer them and dig in! I almost didn’t take a picture because I wanted to eat it at once.
Now I know that one important thing (for me) is that in order to eat healthy I need to plan my meals in advance, so I already know what today’s lunch will be – this gives me some comfort! (and of course a healthy morning snack – fresh picked blueberries! – we have 40 lbs!) Lunch today will be my Edible Flower Salad. I love that on Wednesday’s we have the local Langley Farmers Market here. I get to go explore and find some tasty goods. I picked up some edible flowers and had a delicious salad yesterday, and will enjoy this again today.
