Ramble On

Happy Friday!! How was your week? As always, mine was great! Being a stay at home mom with my little girl is so amazing! Being a mom is the best job, I love it! Baby A is a little over 3 months old now. Can you believe how fast that went? She is getting so big and her personality is really starting to show. She looks just like T but acts like me! ;) What a lucky little lady! HA HA!


Anyway, I tried the other 2 flavors of KeVita that I bought. This was the Strawberry Acai. I liked this one the least, but it was still really good.

And this was the Mango Coconut, my favorite so far. I am usually not a mango flavor person, but with the coconut it tasted like an island drink! ;) Yummy!

My everyday breakfast: Frozen Banana, Chocolate Sunwarrior Protein, Spirulina, Almond Milk and Spinach. Sometimes I add some goji berries or Maca powder. I really just took this picture to show off my new glass! ;) It has etched flowers on it, you can't really see. But I love that it is thick, I like a glass with a thick rim.

As I mentioned, I had some blood work done. Turns out everything was perfect! I don't get my vitamin D results until I see my gastro, next month. But my general doctor gave me my other results, and my iron perfect along with cholesterol, thyroid, blood sugar, calcium and some other tests. The only thing that was low was my blood count, which is because I have anemia from Crohn's and Thalassemia Minor (I've had it my whole life, it's a trait found in Italians and other Mediterraneans). So my doctor doesn't worry about that. But I think my iron levels were normal due to the amount of Nettle tea I drink! ;) I've also been drinking lots of Raspberry Leaf tea to ton my uterus and help it shrink back.

The results of my sprouts!

T and I enjoyed them on a veggie burger one night. I also topped it with hummus, Bubbies pickles and avocado all wrapped in a collard leaf. On the side we had baked sweet potato fries.

Yummy green juice one afternoon: Kale Stems, Celery and Green Apple.

For dinner one night I made Callie's quinoa with butternut squash! I baked the butternut squash instead of cooking it in a pan (only because I could leave it while it cooked to take care of Baby A). I also added white beans. So good! Thanks Callie!!

And finally, lunch one day: romaine, sun dried tomatoes (which are a good source of Vitamin D, hence why I am always eating them), Bubbies pickles, a Sunshine Burger and raw sprouted sunflower seeds.

Have a wonderful weekend!!
