Food Diary 1/23/10- Greenberry Sunrise Shakeology Shake

I've come to realize that I have a ton of food in my house right now. So, for at least the next few days I'm going to challenge myself to do two things: Eat only food that is currently in the house and don't spend any money on groceries for 5 days. I know I can do the first one, hope to do the second one. But, if we run out of essentials like bread or beans or peanut butter, a quick restock trip to the store might be necessary. Hope my favorite healthy store in Iowa, Wheatsfield Co-op doesn't miss me too much! I'll be back soon to spend plenty of money!

• Breakfast:
• 1 c oatmeal, 2 T ground flax seed, 1 T organic brown sugar, 1 T real maple syrup & 1/2 c unsweetened almond milk.

• AM Snack:
•  Greenberry Sunrise Shakeology
  

• Lunch:
• Leftover vegan pizza 

• PM Snack:
• Clementine

• Corn
• Broccoli

• Dessert:
• 1/2 c Vanilla soy yogurt w/ 1 T strawberry jam and 1/4 c Fiber One cereal

There is this product called "Faken Bacon" that I was hoping would be really good. And, as far as I'm concerned, it is. It does have a bacon flavor, but the texture, of course, is different. But, if you fry it long enough, it gets crisp and makes a great sandwich. Top it off with some Veganaise, organic tomato and lettuce and you got yourself a BLT!

Okay, I have to confess that, technically, Shakeology is considered vegetarian but not vegan because it has whey protein. That being said, I abstained from it for the 21-Day Kickstart, but really missed it. It is really the most healthy shake I've ever had and I want to keep it in my diet. I haven't decided if I will go back to having it everyday or just a few times a week, but it will be back in my diet. Here is my Shakeology Sunrise recipe I made today:

Greenberry Shakeology Sunrise shake:

1 c unsweetened almond milk

1 scoop Greenberry Shakeology

1/4 c orange juice concentrate

1/4 frozen organic blueberries

1/2 c water

Ice

Put all in blender and blend to desired consistency. Pour in a tall glass and enjoy!
