And so it begins. My little online journal to keep me sorted during my food and fitness adventures. Lately I have consumed my days with questions that concern my health and well being - by that I mean, what am I going to make for dinner? When am I going to work out? What will I do at the gym tonight? Will I have enough time to make that for dinner? Did I have enough veggies in the fridge? And so on and so forth. I thought it might be nice to start putting my thoughts and experiences on "paper" rather than bombarding my neighbour (and "work sister") with my brain waves. So here I go!
I do want to start with my morning. Lately my morning have been utterly dreadful! I just can't seem to get that fire burning and usually stay grumpy until lunch. I think I found a cure today and it includes chocolate! I have been starting most mornings with a green smoothie. Today I switched it up and had some avocado that needed to be eaten so I looked through some of my cookbooks and found a recipe for an avocado smoothie. That included chocolate! I changed up some of the ingredients to include what I had in the kitchen, like cocoa powder for raw chocolate, and came up with the most delightful morning drink! To be honest, I should have been eating it with a spoon. I had essentially made chocolate pudding. I'm happy to say it was full of nutrients and I'm still feeling satisfied! So if you're looking for a great morning pick-me-up I suggest trying the following...
1/2 avocado
1 cup almond milk
2 pitted dates
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 frozen banana
Blend and serve! If you'd like it a little thinner add some more milk or water. You can also use coconut water or soymilk instead.
Next time I'll include pictures I promise!
Until tomorrow!
