What do I eat?

The guilt is eating me alive at how long it has taken me to write another blog!!!! Hopefully, my little group of readers has not left me. All I can say is that life has gotten in the way of bloggin; however, in my head I have written you guys 100's. I will try to be more consistent, bare with me.

Many people question me on what I eat. A common misconception is that I only eat fruits and veggies. I do eat a lot of fruits and veggies but my body would be begging for more than just that.

So here is a combination of what my typical day may look like:

AM Drinks:
Herbal Decaf Tea
Wheat grass shot (gotta have it J)

BREAKFAST:
Slice of Ezekial Sprouted Grain Toast with organic almond butter, sliced banana, and bee pollen sprinkled on the top. (This is excellent pre-workout fuel!)
Or
Cooked Millet or Amarenth (Amarenth is 90% digestible protein!) with cinnamon, raisins, and a touch of raw honey (Millet is a good grain for the gluten intolerant people)
Or
Fresh Juice: Carrots, Celery, apple, spinach, with a touch of spiralina for protein
Or
ORGANIC, FREE RANGE egg, with tomato and bell pepper (I do not eat any dairy or meat unless it is certified organic, free range, or grass fed. This is imperative to good health….more on this later!)

Small snack:
Usually a piece of fruit or a green supplemental drink such as Dr. Fosters Essential Nutrients.

LUNCH:
Typically a salad…or last nights leftovers J
Not a boring blaggh salad, I usually add some of these ingredients: an assortment of lettuce, carrots, beets, artichoke hearts, olives, beans, sprouts, avocado, sunflower seeds, nuts, etc.
Dressing: Usually, Balsamic Vinegar and Udo Oil

Small Snack:
Maybe a coconut water or hemp protein shake… just something light to get me through the next workout

DINNER:
We really try to switch dinner up. Variety is key so that we get a wide range of nutrients for vital health and recovery.
Vegetable soups with organic quinoa(we make our own broth out of water, celery, and onions)
Or
Mexican nights with all fresh ingredients like beans, lettuce, tomato, avocado, carrots, olives, wrapped in a sprouted grain tortilla (sprouted grain is much easier for the body to digest and is a good source of protein)
Or
Wild Salmon (ONLY BUY WILD!!! Farm raised salmon is often grey and is dyed pink for color) with steamed potato and other fresh vegetables
Or
Raw spaghetti using zucchini for noodles (this is so good! Interested in the recipe? Let me know.

……..I could keep going on and on with dinner options but we just use non-processed, organic ingredients to make incredibly yummy and nutritious dinners.

I hope this helps! Any questions, let me know

Yay! I have been waiting for another entry from you! Glad to know you haven't dropped off the face of the world, just half way across it! :) I have been reading some of the books on your recommended list since we last talked. All I can say is that I continue to be inspired, and how do I get Ryan on board?! He was for a while, but somehow he fell off the wagon. Anyway, XOXO

Pleased to see the update. So far I am eating bananas, tomatoes and steamed potatoes. I will study some of the other things you are writing about as I still need to eat more. The training makes me feel pretty empty and weak and tired a lot of the time.

I love how you have variety for food choices. I am going to try it for sure, I am on a slow change of eating more healthy and I appreciate what you wrote.
