Morning
Un-pictured: Water & raw probiotics, plus a large iced green tea throughout the morning.
(For those of you who have asked, I switch up my brand of probiotics every time I finish a bottle, so that my body gets a variety of friendly bacteria. Lately, I alternate between Dr. Ohhira’s, Ascended Health and Garden of Life’s Raw Probiotics.)
Green(ish) smoothie! This one had 2 frozen bananas, a whole avocado, 3 handfuls fresh spinach, 2 T. raw cocoa powder, a splash of vanilla, a few generous shakes of cinnamon, 1 1/2 cups filtered water and a few handfuls of ice.
This makes a LOT of smoothie.
I had one glass for breakfast and saved the other half in the fridge for a post-workout snack later in the day.

Lunch
A whole avocado mashed with lime juice, salt, garlic and fresh dill–> a quick guacamole, of sorts. Served with half a bag of baby carrots and sliced cucumbers.
Yes, that’s my second whole avocado of the day.

Post-workout Snack
Another 20 oz. glass of green smoothie, leftover from this morning.

Dinner
Un-pictured: The other half-bag of baby carrots, leftover from lunch, while preparing dinner.
Four local eggs, scrambled in grass-fed butter, with fresh spinach and a container of fresh pico de gallo. I poured this whole skillet over a bag of mixed greens, and ate it as a salad!
–
Dessert
The rest of my Lily’s dark chocolate bar AND the rest of my “Thin Mint” dark chocolate bar.
While I do like the stevia-sweetened bar, it doesn’t quite satisfy me the way bars made with a bit of real sugar do… so I went ahead and had both.

Reader Feedback: What are YOU eating this week?
I am in love with your mega smoothies and the fact that you have chocolate every day! Your style of eating is so inspiring to me! I love that you eat a bag of baby carrots in a day too! I thought I was the only person who did that
Yummy eats! I have been doing a lot of green smoothies this week, yesterday that was bkfast and lunch followed by a nice big cup of slightly warmed soup and some homemade pudding (made w/ carrots)..I wanted to give my digestive system a rest bc I ate a lot on Sunday! I have been soaking the chia seeds prior to adding them into the VItamix with the rest of the ingredients and it makes it even thicker and creamier-I love it!!
When I go to L.A. I have to meet you and give you my special kefir grains they are so strong and alive that no probiotic is so strong. When it is ready I keep it in fridge without grains of course and it is so fizzy that it has exploded one time( even when I have left 1/4 space in jar) and we have to paint whole kitchen. So now I have to open very very slowly and wait. It heals everything. I make it from sheep milk and it is more like yogurt, cause it has more fat then cow or goat milk. I also make mint chocolate myself(cacao powder, stevia mint flavour, raw butter, coconut oil, pinch salt, vanilla powder)
I bought some of the ‘endangered species’ brand dark chocolate bars yesterday! (Raspberry, and espresso bean) Both are DELISH! (I would know, since I had to taste BOTH.)
I’ve also been buying all varieties of Lara Bars, which are so simple and amazing. I’ve been religiously having my green juice every morning! My Mother In Law bought me a Jack LeLanne juicer so many years ago, and it sat in the cabinet entirely too long. After finding your website, I am angry with myself for waiting so long to enjoy the benefits of juicing. I want a VitaMix! I’m dying to try one of your vanilla-cado shakes!
Today’s breakfast was half of an Ezekiel English muffin topped with a tablespoon of flax oil, four egg whites, and a slice of tomato with half a grapefruit and black coffee. Lunch was beet hummus lettuce wraps with tomato, cucumber, red onion, and avocado with a side of cauliflower rice mixed with tahini, evoo, spinach, s/p, tumeric, and oregano. Looking ahead to an afternoon snack…almond butter and banana shake and a green drink before dinner. Then trying my hand at your detox veggie curry as mentioned yesterday. The “alfredo” rocked over zucchini “pasta” last night btw! My husband even loved it
For dessert, a date/macadamia/blueberry bar from a batch I made yesterday and white tea! Yum! I do love to eat!
I’ve been hitting the green smoothie and green juice hard – I’ve been unintentionally detoxing myself! Even while eating banana chocolate chip muffins!
Hi Megan! That egg scramble looks seriously yummy. I always forget to pick up eggs at farmer’s market, so I end up getting them at WF, but definitely not as good!
This week has included a lot of wild poached salmon, which I topped with an avocado/pepitas/cilantro puree which was divine. Along with abundant farmer’s market veggies which we roasted: heirloom tomatoes, broccoli, zucchini. I’ve also been loving these Eden brown rice chips that I found at WF- so delicious. Breakfast has been either green juices or a small bowl of fruit. Love your posts!
everything looks great! interesting about switching up probiotics, I tend to stay to one brand, but when I run out I get another one to hold me till I get the one I usually get. Glad to know that is okay.
Which probiotics do you prefer? I am using New Chapter and I have Dr. Ohira’s to start when I finish what I am using.
It is getting cold in WI.
I need more “warm comfort food” ideas.
