Proud to eat healthy

[apple]

Apple, it doesn't seem like you got enough calories or protein in your day....

I agree, Tigerlily. Thanks for looking out. That was just an extremely hectic day - I was running in and out so I had to eat most of my meals in the car. I think I did much better today!

Blueberries and strawberries

Veggie/black bean soup, spinach-tomato-cucumber salad, baked sweet potato

1 apple
Slice of sprouted grain toast with mashed avocado and lemon juice

Brown rice, veggie stew, steamed cauliflower and broccoli

[moochbabe]

cc, where did you find the hemp protein powder? I've looked at a few healthfood shops and aside from things like cereal can find no hemp products. i've been searching for hempseed butter as I've heard it's very yummy and good for you, but I can't find that either! GRR, lol

today: 2 homemade chocolate coconut okara muffins ( mmm), peach soyyogurt, applesauce, and some almonds; a large orange; a sandwich of homemade whole wheat bread with homemade seitan, pickled okra, and warmed mixed baby greens, a peach, and a large handful of almonds (along with more pickled okra from the jar); later i am planning on having a banana and protein shake (banana mixed with ice, water, and fortified soy protein powder); and for dinner probably mini tacos of sauteed tofu and beans, and coleslaw; and who knows, probably a cookie for dessert

cc, do u mind if i PM you about some nutritional questions I have?

[applepie]

grapefruit, banana, kiwi fruit, pineapple, soy yogurt, toasted nuts
2 big apples
quinoa and brussels sprout soup
lots of carrots

what is it exactly? I use Yorkshire Hemp hemp flour, which is 100% hemp flour, could that be substituted or is hemp protien something else?

It may be the same thing...I looked it up online but couldn't get a clear answer. The hemp protein powder I use is Nutiva, and is raw milled hemp seed with nothing added.

ARE THOSE DARE BRAND OATMEAL COOKIES?

Best packaged cookies ever!

[Roxy]

YES AND I GOT THE IDEA FROM YOU

[Tigerlily]

They are so yummy. It was too good to be true (that they were vegan). I even emailed them and asked, and it's safe. The natural flavouring comes from vanilla!

[Roxy]

Have you tried any of their other cookies that are in the same kind of boxes?

[Tigerlily]

No, I haven't. You have to watch out, some of those contain honey.

I just ate 5 of those cookies!
