Hello Eggs, It’s Been a While

Okay bloggies these smoothies are getting out of control! (In a good way though!) This morning’s Breakfast smoothie had lots of yummy ingredients, two of which were these:

I have been looking for a way to use my huge jar of Artisana coconut butter and I have a few bottles of this Mangosteen stuff that a client passed along a while ago and it’s perrrrrfect for these smoothies.

The entire smoothie consisted of:

• 1/2c unsweetened vanilla almond breeze (the rest of the carton)
• 1/2c skim milk
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 scoop tropical vanilla ultimate protein
• 1 tbsp sprouted chia seeds
• 1 tbsp coconut butter
• a few strawberries, hunks of pineapple, cantaloupe & honeydew
• 3c baby spinach
• ice

Oh yeah and a coffee with cream (of course):

And Lunch today was a repeat of supper last night. You may have noticed quite a few hard boiled eggs around here recently. I buy organic eggs (which tend to cost a bit more) and they were on 50% off at the grocery store so I bought two dozen. It turns out that the best before date was today so I had to cook them all! I don’t mind though because eggs are delicious, nutritious and pretty much the perfect food all around. There is nothing to fear about the egg!

Sammie was whole grain bread, one hard boiled egg (sliced with one of those awesome egg slicers), hellman’s olive oil mayo, S&P and some lettuces. And some fresh blueberries were delicious too:

And out came a craving for a chocolate dipped oat cake from Planet Organic. I friggin love those things:

Okay, okay, okay and there was also an organic peanut butter ball :-D:

Hey a woman needs to curb her cravings when they come. For me it only hits me like this once every 3-4 months so I consider myself lucky! :-D

I was feeling a bit sluggish this afternoon and I knew that I had bootycamp after work so I thought I would give this Vega Sport powder a try as some pre-workout mojo. I mixed it up in my Bluenose water bottle with plain water:

I decided it needed some chill to it, so on the way to Bootycamp I stopped into McD’s for a cup of ice (I have no desire to step into that place otherwise. I remember going there every single weekend a few years ago :-D).

It’s not the prettiest drink in the world, kind of a murky iced tea look to it. It wasn’t too bad tasting, totally drinkable:

I have to say though that I just wasn’t feeling it tonight at Bootycamp. I dunno what it was but I had a hard time pushing myself. My knee was bothering me quite a bit, but I was definitely missing my mojo and I didn’t regain it from the Vega sports drink.

Post workout, Lex pulled out some raspberries that Farm Girl and I didn’t mind dipping into. She how shy Farm Girl is?

We chatted and gabbed a little bit before leaving, and it was getting late, so I munched on an apple on the way home:

It was about 8:30 by the time I got home, so my originally planned dinner got postponed to tomorrow night and I had, you guessed it, some more egg! This time it was 3 slices of whole grain bread, one spread with green onion hummus, and two hard boiled eggs sliced on top of some olive oil mayo and some lettuces:

And a yummy side of fresh strawberries, blueberries and a dolop of wild blackberry Liberte yogurt:

That’s three eggs in one day! That’s gotta be a record for me.

Now off to watch Big Brother!

Damn it I hate Jessie! Booooooooooooooooo! What a coincidence, an egg head!
