Lunch day blues

31 May

Coming back to work from the Holiday weekend was such a drag , and lunch wasn’t any different either. Had a trusty Aldi’s Tuna Salad in my snack draw to go along with some plantain chips and  a Naked Berry Veggie smoothie. Not the greatest but it did the job.

No Cook Oat Berry Smoothie

29 May

I got this recipe from my Aunt when she came to visit us from Haiti a few months back. After tweaking some things , i’ve now incorporated this into my morning breakfast regime. Its best to do fresh everyday but i dont usually have the time. So i usually make an ample amount and seal them in an air tight container to last me a few days.  This particular smoothie this morning had Raw organic oats, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries , bananas, flax-seeds and water. Yum!

Like i do every weekend, i decided to blend a green juice smoothie. I generally drink this as a snack or for breakfast,Its not the best looking thing in the world but its tasty. This smoothie contains Kale, Green Apples, Pears, Ginger, a Peach and a little bit of water.

Weekend Food Haul

Just like every weekend I re-up on groceries for the week.  Since transitioning I find myself going to Aldi , Whole Foods, and Farmers Markets on top of  my usual Publix run. This week they had great specials at the Farmers Market so I stocked up!
