Day 23 Snack

So as I mentioned on my last post, I made protein bars. I just had one ad a pre workout snack. I forgot to take a picture before I started to eat it so all I have is this nearly finished piece that looks like a piece of turd. :). Sorry. I'll include a pic of the batch I made. These are delicious. Let me know if you'd like the recipe.

Day 23 Breakfast

Happy Valentine's Day! Today I tried something new for Breakfast. From the advice and recipe from my Dad, I cooked a bowl of wheat berries, garnished with cinnamon and a spoon full of date paste. It was good but I had to get use to some of the clumps in the bowl. The texture would have been easier to get used to without the many clumps. That may have been the result of a weak blender.

Also, I made my own protein bars last night. I found a recipe on youtube I purchased a plant based protein powder which obviously is processed but its all natural plant based ingredients so I made an exception. I felt I needed to make sure I was getting enough protein.  The ingredients include oat meal, slivered almonds, unsalted almond butter, dried cranberries, raw unpasteurized honey, vanilla extract and 65% cocoa chips. 

See pictures below of my protein bars and wheat berry breakfast.

Day 22 Dinner

Oops, I fell asleep last night before posting my delicious mushroom burger. This was the second time the wife made this for me. Delicious.

Day 22 Lunch

Feeling the need fir some protein after my workout, I walked across the street to Mixed Greens for a protein loaded salad. Not knowing if they had an oil free dressing I was prepared for dissapointment. Ordered half a portion of spinach and half a portion of butter leaf lettuce. Topped it with quinoa (first time ever eating this), roasted zucchini, red bell pepper, black beans, red onions and avocado. For dressing I had lemon juice and vinager. Finally, I seasoned it with peppet and Spike which is a salt substitute I picked up over the weekend. This was the closest thing I could find to Benson's Table Tasty. Not as good though.

Ohh and a slice of sourdough wheat bread.

Day 22 Snack

One slice of whole grain pita bread and oil free humus.

Day 22 Breakfast

I couldn't find my wheat berries last night so I defaulted to my regular bowl of oatmeal. But this time I added bananas for the first time. I've neet eaten oatmeal with bananas so it took some getting used to. The texture was more mushy than I expected. It wasn't bad though. I added a slice of whole grain wheat bread to help fill me up.

Day 21 Dinner

Thai noodle leftovers. Can't complain although I got a stomach ach after my second serving. Not sure why.
