It was the carbiest of times, it was the worst of times.
Actually it was just the carbiest of times because there aren’t bad times when you eat like a carb kween.
Breakfast lately has been super quick and easy. I’ve been soaking 1/4 cup (one serving) of Bob’s Red Mill steel-cut oats in about 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk and cinnamon overnight. In the morning, I add more almond milk, berries, and Nutzzo nut butter. Sometimes chia seeds. The texture is a lot chewier than overnight oats but I personally really like it. I also had coffee with Westsoy vanilla soymilk, of course.
I snacked on half a slice of Alchemy’s toast of the day that we rolled out yesterday, which was lemon cashew “cheezecake” spread with bee pollen and fresh bloobs. If you live in Columbus, you need this toast in your life!
Lunch was this tasty One-Skillet Mexican Quinoa with added corn, sweet potatoes, and extra spices topped with avocado since avocado is life.
I also had a Roasted Strawberry Oatmeal Cup and a cute little Raw Mexican Hot Chocolate Truffle. Treats on treats on treats!
Trader Joe’s baked tortilla chips and Oasis roasted garlic hummus with Fix hot sauce was my next snack experience. So delish.
We had lots of young Thai coconuts to use up so I did a smoothie of the day with coconut water, mango, pineapple, avocado, lime juice, matcha, and maple syrup. Its greatness utterly SHOCKED me. We dubbed it The Key Lime Pie!
We were going to get our favorite wild salmon for dinner from The Market Italian Village (seriously the best salmon in the city) but hit major traffic and decided to detour to Brassica.
I did my usually bowl with greens, lentils and rice, falafel, marinated eggplant, carrots, cauliflower, pickles veggies, hummus, baba ganoush, and lots of hot sauce.
See you tomorrow for more eats!
LOL. So I was working out the ‘issues’ just before and this popped up in the midst of it.
Hi.
I remember brassica. and the leaves.

Everything looks amazing. Still waiting for my bananas to ripen so I can make the roasted strawberry cups. UGH! Do you cook your rice and lentils together?

Carby days are my favorite days! That “cheezecake” toast sounds literally amazing!!! I’m so sad I live too far away to try it. If Alchemy ever comes to the D.C. area, I’ll be the happiest girl alive!

You had me at young thai coconuts. I need that smoothie in my life yesterday. Can you open another Alchemy in NorCal? It would do so well here!
Also, I love the idea to add sweet taters and corn to the quinoa. So much greatness. Cheers to being carb kweens! 😉

Wow, your oats reminds me about my childhood. I used to eat raspberries with some milk and sugar and this is so delish!

That smoothie looks amazing! I’ve never thought to put lime juice in a smoothie, but I bet it pairs especially well with the avocado and coconut water!
