Breakfast
On days my husband is at work and I don't head to the gym, I'll deviate from my normal Choco-Berry Smoothie Bowl and make an apple berry variety or this Creamy Apple Pear Smoothie.
In lieu of the dates and honey, I've just been adding a dash or two of stevia, and I've also been adding a large spoonful of my Homemade Pumpkin Seed Butter instead of the avocado, which replaces the avo's richness. I also go a bit nuts with the pie spice and vanilla extract.
Lunch
It's been ensalada gay-lore for lunch lately...
I've been working on a creamy herb dressing for months now, perfecting and simplifying it as best I can for posting.
I've also been adding dashes of Herbamare to everything, including salad. I purchased my first bottle of it from Vitacost not too long ago, and I just love it. It's great on popcorn too, fyi.
This salad contained two kinds of lettuce, grated carrot, cucumbers, alfalfa sprouts, red cabbage, raisins, raw pumpkin seeds, and the aforementioned dressing.
Snack
A bit later in the day, I had a giant cheese crisp loaded with raw white cheddar cheese...
I used my Homemade Spelt Tortillas for this, which I could eat by the boatload!
Dinner
For dinner, I was craving veggies and quinoa...
For the quinoa, I lightly saute garlic, snow peas, and cherry tomatoes, and then add in the cooked quinoa along with a large splash of apple cider vinegar.
I served this alongside roasted eggplant slices and parmesan broccoli, which I steamed and rather enjoyed (usually I roast broccoli, but this was a nice change).
Dessert
A low sugar, experimental vanilla ice cream(ish) was my dessert of choice. A delicious way to end the night!
What are you eating lately?

The smoothies look great.... I always forget about the pumpkin seeds for my salads 🙂

Dawn
where do you get the Herbamare? went to their website... do you have a store that sells it?
Lauren
Hi Dawn! I don't do well with psyllium, chia, or flax...they all mess up my digestion. I bought the Herbamare off of Vitacost! 🙂
Dawn
i found the Herbamare also on Ebay (amazing has it too). i just went ahead and bought it for $12, free shipping.
