Here's WHAT I ATE TODAY...
Breakfast: coffee & Green Smoothie
- half avocado
- 2 spinach cubes
- 2 scoops protein powder
- almond milk
Post-Workout Lunch
- curried lentils and brown rice
Afternoon Snack
- 1/2 cup almond butter banana ice cream
- 2 scoops protein powder
- almond milk
Dinner
- this avocado tomato salad -- it was really quite a delicious and refreshing combination and very easy
- roasted asparagus tossed with coconut oil and sea salt
Dessert
Ok, here's the first thing that I have not liked... the almond butter banana ice cream. I really wanted to like it! Imagine it - sweet, creamy, guilt-free ice cream... oh sorry, was I drooling? I consider myself a fan of the banana -- banana bread, peanut butter on bananas, bananas in cereals, plain bananas - all good. I'm also a big fan of nut butters - peanut, cashew, almond, etc. This particular combination just did not taste good to me, and I wasn't crazy about the texture either (which I liken to frozen baby food). I added some shredded coconut to disguise the mushiness, but it just couldn't revive my interest or my taste buds. I could probably have gotten it down if I had added a bunch of chocolate chips and whipped cream, but that kinda defeats the purpose. So I will either toss it (great, there goes 4 bananas) or try to incorporate it into my smoothies. Instead I went with diced peaches in yogurt/coconut milk and sprinkled with ground flax seed.
