Willpowaaaa!!

Melon with Greek yogurt and frozen berries :)

Roasted eggplant, spicy spinach with chickpeas, and a salad with sprouts, tomato, scallion, and tofu.

Dinner! I had grilled bok choy with balsamic glaze, and a lentil/ oat groat/ barley mixture with sautéed onions and mushrooms. Party in my tummy and you’re all invited.

Red Velvet Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup egg whites
• 1 banana
• 1.5 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
• 1 cup oats
• 1 tbsp flaxseed
• 1 tbsp wheat germ
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 tsp espresso powder
• 1 tbsp stevia
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup water (roughly)

Mix all ingredients in a blender until the consistency is smooth. Cook on a non-stick pan with some olive oil.

Makes 8 pancakes, each having 75 calories, 1 g fat, 3 g sugar, and 5 g protein.

Made a huge batch of concentrated tea to save and use for iced tea throughout the day :) I used passion, wild berry, cranberry pomegranate, and tangerine orange tea.

My lunch! Spaghetti squash with pesto, mushrooms, tomato, and tofu. Before and after the sprinkling of nutritional yeast :)
I microwaved 1/2 a spaghetti squash on high for 8 minutes (cut side down). In a pan I fried 1/2 a block of firm tofu, then added a few mushrooms and sliced tomato and let it all sauté in olive oil. Then I added some chopped garlic and pesto, as well as some black pepper. Then I scooped out my squash, added it to the pan, and mixed it around. Top it off with some nutritional yeast and it’s amazing!!

Crunchy crunchy yaaay!!

Random, but I really like having a carrot cake pancake with my tea :p it’s a nice substitute for when I’m craving a cookie or pastry to have it with!

Random pre-lunch salad :) greens from my moms garden, tomatoes, sprouts, avocado, and tofu!

So sometimes people ask me to take pictures of my food/ kitchen, and my mom and I just went grocery shopping so here’s my fridge! I’ll go through it shelf by shelf, from top to bottom, left to right:

• Greek yogurt (flavored, plain, and big tubs), nut butters, egg whites, and some condiment-y things (though most are in the side door)
• Mushrooms, tortillas/ wraps, some veggies and fruit (most fruit is in a bowl out of the fridge), tuppperwares of leftovers (currently some cooked tofu and some tuna), hummus, tofu, and tofu noodles
• Random cheese and cold cuts drawer that I never use haha
• Eggs, VEGETABLES (usually the ones to be cooked or lettuce/ spinach), milk, nutritional yeast
• Left drawer: mostly veggies meant to munch on raw (carrots, cucumber, celery, peppers, etc.), right drawer: things like wheat germ, flaxseed, wheat bran…
• Then in the side door there’s things like jam/ jelly, drinks, condiments (mustard, asian sauces, mayo… yeah )

There might be some stuff in the back that I’m forgetting, but this is my favorite state of the fridge :)

My bro and I were left to fend for ourselves for dinner tonight and while he had a quesadilla and chicken, I made myself this fab stir fry and devoured it all by myself :D it has tofu, onion, mushroom, broccoli, and beet greens.

Too freaking good.

Combo I just can’t resist: mint and chocolate. Whether it be this ice cream, york patties/ pieces, junior mints… they’re sooso good. 

That and soft, warm peeta pita. Which was basically my entire night… ;D

So I guess I have a knack for making delicious food look gross in pictures… Cuz this stuff was fabulous. Veggie lentil soup, and then roasted beets, sweet potato, and onion.

Happy birthday mommy :)
I made frozen bananas, 2 dipped in honey yogurt with walnuts, 1 dipped in chocolate with walnuts.
