Kombucha

A pound of seaweed

  Breakfast #1: mom’s plum jam + Earth Balance + cinnamon raisin Vital Vittles Breakfast #2: quinoa + scrambled eggs   Lunch: Love Grown Cocoa Goodness oat clusters + raspberries + almond milk   I had 3 bowls of this, so there’s not much left in the bag.  Maybe one servings worth?  Stupid serving sizes. Snack: apple + Trilogy Kombucha In the afternoon, Kyle went on a walk and wound up in our old neighborhood and decided to pop into Santa Monica Seafood.  This is the only place I’ve found close to me that makes… Read more >

Snacks & the City

That last post had some pretty scenery from the weekend, but not a lot of eats.  Here’s a recap of last weekend at home, in food format. To start the road trip off on the right foot, I got a big kale, spinach, beet, carrot, and ginger juice.  Pink pee is especially fun when you’ve been holding your bladder for 4 hours.  We stopped twice on the drive home and arrived in L-town just in time for dinner.  I had a pumpkin Bolani and salad. The next morning we slept in, which meant coffee and… Read more >

Westside Native

On Sunday I broke my coffee-free streak. USVAB almond milk, Wholesome Sweetener organic vanilla agave, cinnamon. Artisana makes the best nutbutter, but it also happens to be the most $$$.  Once this coconut butter is gone (which will be very soon), I will be making my own only.  No room in this hippie’s budget for jars of something I can make on my own for a fraction of the price.  No matter how delicious and convenient it is to purchase. After digesting, I went for a short run, made shorter due to the weather.  It… Read more >

TGI…

I worked on Saturday, so my Friday wasn’t really a TGIF kind of day.  To summarize the AM: cereal, bike ride, window shopping.  I had two Turlock multi-grain pitas with hummus for lunch and a veggie burger a la mode.   Hummus gone.  🙁   In terms of fizz KeVita < Synergy, in terms of calories it’s the reverse.  Flavor-wise I go back and forth.  Depends on what I’m in the mood for. Truthfully, all I wanted for dinner was quinoa drenched in Bragg’s liquid aminos, but I decided to up the nutritional profile of… Read more >

The Average Woman

Quoting Kathie Lee and Hoda isn’t usually my thing, but I was enjoying my coffee in front of the tv this morning and here’s what I heard. The average woman gains 8 pounds between Thanksgiving and mid-January. The average woman is 5’4” and weighs 164.  The average woman of that height should weigh 145.  [according to what source, I don’t know] I find these stats to be irrelevant.  I don’t care about being compared to every other woman.  It doesn’t motivate me and it certainly doesn’t inspire me.  If I were a person who thrived… Read more >
