YU 30, Day 22

Friday, February, 22nd

Bay-Bay:

"day 4 of 7. today's flavor is: 
drink 1 (image top left)-frozen banana, fresh squeezed lime and orange juice, fresh mint and coconut water. drink 2 (image top right)- bay's crazy grape: grape juice, fresh squeezed lemon, coconut water, bee pollen, chia seeds, and apple flavored fish oil. 

my energy level is crazy insane!! had a refreshing 4 mile walk in the rain and topped it off with some meditation."

WOW! I'm exhausted today. My sleep schedule is off. I was trying to study for my Theory test and fell asleep. Luckily, I woke up to my circuit breaker turning off. Even though I'm pretty tired, I feel great. Usually I am super nervous when speaking in front of a class and today I was at ease. I'm not sure if it was because I was tired or my eating or both. 

Kim's Breakfast:

Today I made up my own smoothie. I had a handful of kale, an apple, big spoonful of peanut butter, 1 tbsp. hemp powder, banana, and 1/2 cup water. It tasted like dessert for breakfast. It tasted just like Georgianne's smoothie.

Lunch: LEFTOVERS! haha. Yes, I ate another burrito. How could I not? Bay can't eat what I make with her seven day smoothie cleanse. 

Dinner: With my left over Meghan Telpner’s Spicy Sweet Potato & Refried Bean Burrito recipe I made nachos. I added gluten free chips with avocado, mixed greens and tomatoes. 

I believe tomorrow I am going to tackle "Thai Chili Coconut Noodles." Yum! I've been craving Thai food and chili.

Today I learned about various hair products to use on YU. I've been using Dr. Bronner's shampoo afterwards my whole body is extremely dry. I had various suggestions I am willing to and excited to try such as: Coconut milk shampoo called Organix, John's Master Hair products, La Bella Figura and no poo.

YU 30, Day 20

Wednesday, February, 20th


Bays: day 2 of 7.
today's flavor is: fresh pineapple, avocado, fennel, lime and coconut water.

Breakfast: 

No school today!! Yes! Today I chugged a full glass of water when I got up. I made myself this “Okay Oh Kale” smoothie. I accidently forgot to put in the dates and added a banana along with some cacao powder. Delicious.


Lunch: 
Again, I’ve had some more leftover filling from the peppers. I’ve added avocado and some salsa to the mix to give a different taste. We made so much! I love leftovers. xoxox

Dinner:
I will be tackling this recipe, “Meghan Telpner’s Spicy Sweet Potato & Refried Bean Burrito"

              

OMG!! This was BOMB! If you love burritos and you love mexican food, you must try this. I can’t believe that I made it by myself. Usually Bay helps with chopping or telling me what to do. I only ate half of my very stuffed burrito because I became full and I can’t wait to eat more tomorrow. 

I edited the recipe a little bit. I didn’t add corn to the salsa but replaced it with half of a jalapeno. I also forgot to soak some black beans. Ha! The main part of the dish right? I used refried beans instead. The sauce tasted too much like lemon for my liking so I tossed in some nutritional yeast. I accidently added pine nuts instead of sunflower seeds but I think it tasted delicious. The sauce was a little runny. I think next time I will add some more unsoaked raw cashews if I want to make it thicker. Bay gave me that awesome tip. She is the cashew cheese queen. She also suggested adding water or lemon/lime in last. Then you can get the perfect consistency.

Today I learned about a new shampoo I could try called Prairie Naturals. I am really excited to try it. I am still struggling with my dry scalp and skin. Now, I need to figure out where I can buy some.
