Our Daily Bread

Everyone is always asking me, "What do you eat?"

For some CRAZY reason, they think because I (try my best) to eat clean and healthy, there are no options and the food is bland and boring! Let me tell you, since I changed my eating habits when I was about 24 years old, food has never tasted better. 

I went from gluten free, but still eating stuff made out of corn, rice, and potato... to now mostly a paleo type of eating lifestyle. Meaning I rarely eat any kind of grain or starch. I still enjoy my sweet potatoes and full fat dairy's:-) I won't deny myself a gluten free pizza when the time calls. 

My wonderful husband is not a picky eater at all, thank god! But I do try to make him some rice, potatoes, or pasta every once and a while. The key to keeping him happy is Texas Toast!  I won't always eat this, but every once and a while I'll snag a couple bites of potatoes!

Now if you take me to a Chipotle, which I LOVE....... then you will definitely see me ordering the brown rice AND the corn salsa:-)

Anyways, I thought I would give an example of "the day in the life of Stephanie"! Here is what is on the menu for today:

Breakfast: Smoothie

1 cup spinach

1/2 avocado

1/2 banana

2 tbs raw cacao

1 tbs chia seeds

1tbs ground flaxseed

1 tsp xylitol (or stevia)

1 scoop About Time protein

8 oz unsweetened almond milk

I have a NutriBullet which is awesome!

Snack:

1 c Cabot Greek Yogurt- Full Fat

1/2 c Blueberries

1 tbs Hemp Seeds

(you can add some stevia to this to sweetened if you want)

Lunch:

Egg Bake with tomatoes, sweet potato, and black olives

1/4 Roasted Cabbage with bacon (see recipe)

Snack:

I will drink some more About Time protein with water after my work out this afternoon

Dinner:

Chicken Stir Fry with Zucchini noodles, carrots, edamame, and water chestnuts ( by the way I have no recipe for this, it just sounds good and I made it up this morning! I'll take picture and let you know how it goes.)

I hope this helps inspire you and give you some good ideas on a healthy, clean, nourishing day of eating. Take care of your bodies, love on yourself. Have a wonderful weekend!
