I'm actually looking forward to having some real food to eat again. I know the effort is worth it.
A few of the items on this week's menu are:
- Garlic herbed tilapia, roasted broccoli, mashed potatoes.
- Chicken Florentine Lasagna
- Country style ribs, sweet mashed potatoes, and green beans
I also planned for more green juice, and I'm going to get back to drinking Kefir everyday. I'm hoping that will help with some of the, um, gastric symptoms I've been experiencing as of late.
I'm going to try quinoa for breakfast. I need to find some good protein for the morning. I wish I were not allergic to eggs because I sure love a good omelet with spinach, onions, and feta. Maybe I'll like quinoa just as much. Sigh.
Have you considered adding protein powder to your green smoothie? It is a simple and effective way to boost your AM protein intake. There are loads of protein powders out there, take your pick!
ReplyDeleteYou could also add some silken tofu to your green smoothie, with a bit of frozen banana to sweeten it up. That would also thicken your smoothies and make them more satisfying as a complete meal. With the addition of some oatmeal powder to the drink, or maybe an actual slice of toast on the side, you'll have veggies, carbs, and protein all in your breakfast. :)
For that matter, you can use tofu in place of egg and use your spinach, onions and feta. Colour them with turmeric and add a pinch of black salt (available in Asian markets) to add that touch of sulfur you get from eggs (if you miss the eggy taste, that will surely put it back in for you), and there you go! An egg-free omelet.
Good ideas!
