5/17/2012 -- Breakfast & Lunch

Omnomnom looking at this makes me hungry again!
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to exercise today -- although I have done a ton of house work which required a lot of walking and carrying, so I suppose that justifies for it? (Not at all.) Back on the routine again tomorrow!

Today for (vegan/vegetarian friendly [contains honey]) breakfast I had a massive smoothie consisting of: 1 avocado, 1 banana, 3 strawberries, a tablespoon of honey, and coconut milk.

It was pretty good and extremely filling. Sure, it's not solid food, but in a way it's easier on those mornings when I'm tired and don't feel like chewing (how sad does that sound?).

Lunch (vegetarian friendly) is photographed above. I had sweet potatoes as a side with dinner yesterday, so I used up some leftovers by mashing them up and adding a little pumpkin pie spice mix to it (it's basically nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves). On top of that I added some fresh baby spinach, drizzling some olive oil and some salt on top. After that I fried an egg so the yolk was still runny (because yolks that aren't runny make me sad), and placed it on top, putting just a little bit of salt on that too. Although it looks like a garnish, the chives on top added a really nice flavor that really pulled everything together. The sweet potato kind of reminded me of the sweetness you get when maple syrup touches your egg during breakfast -- so good!

I wish it didn't finish -- it was probably the best lunch I've made, and for a recipe that I pulled out of no where, I'm not complaining one bit!

There's no shame in juicing, it's less taxing on the body and aside from a loss of fiber, it's great for you. Just be careful about the amount of fats you load up on.

@ocean spoken: Thank you for the advice! We don't have a juicer unfortunately, or I would juice everything -- especially green vegetables.
