    What I Ate (Low Sugar Edition 3)

    Published: Jan 17, 2018 · Modified: Jan 16, 2018 by Lauren · This post may contain affiliate links · 2 Comments

    This week has been a whirlwind, I can't believe it's already Wednesday!

    For those of you that may not know, these posts are to show what I'm eating lately. This month, I'm hoping to inspire you with some lower sugar meals.

    Let's take a look at my eats for the week!

    Breakfast

    If you missed it, I finally got around to posting my favorite morning smoothie, this Chocolate Raspberry deliciousness...

    I typically top this with a small handful of goji berries and eat it with a spoon!

    Though it could be called a smoothie 'bowl', this is my favorite tumbler to eat it from.

    Lunch

    For lunch today, I made my Spelt Pizza Crust!

    The girls were at school, so I made two smaller pizzas, one for me and one for the hubs.

    I topped mine with my Homemade Pizza Sauce, raw white cheddar, spinach, mushrooms, and fresh basil.

    Snack

    We recently went to Costco where I bought a pack of very large, organic Fuji apples.

    For snack this day, I cut one up and sprinkled it with tons of Ceylon cinnamon. I ate with a few big spoonfuls of peanut butter, which I found on sale at Sprouts!

    Dinner

    I can't seem to stop making this dinner lately...

    First, I make a batch of my Instant Pot Brown Rice.

    Then, I saute some red onion and bell pepper in olive oil until the onion is slightly caramelized. At this time, I either slice leftover chicken from the fridge or I have some in the oven baking.

    Once the onions and peppers have cooked, I add in a bit more oil, a couple heads of chopped broccoli, a splash of water, and some salt and pepper.

    I let that cook until it turns bright green, and then I squeeze half a lemon over it. The girls like their broccoli with a spoonful of parmesan, but I like it as is.

    Really simple with no other herbs or spices, but altogether, this meal is so delicious!

    Nightcap

    Peppermint tea with a pinch of licorice for its digestive and adrenal healing properties ended my night!

    What are you eating lately?

      Thanks for the share! Having an apple with nut butter and cinnamon as well. Still deciding on purchasing an insta-pot? I sure hear a lot of good things about them, and to have some quick brown rice sure sounds great!

        It really is a great buy, Joyce! 🙂 The main reasons I love it are for dried beans and for the option of not having to 'babysit' whatever is cooking.
