Monday’s breakfast: More smoothie adventures!
This time:
- 0.25 cup oats
- 0.25 cup mixed grains
- 0.25 cup soy milk
- 0.25 cup 2% milk
- 0.25 cup water
- last of my goji berries [1.5 tbsp?]
- 0.5 small carrot [yeah...I was looking for things to bulk up my smoothie with]
- 0.25 cup corn
- 2 medium strawberries
I’m not sure but I think I might have gotten a bigger cup this time? If not, well…I felt much more full after drinking, so…?
But yeah I was really impressed with the strawberries ’cause I could smell and taste them even though I only threw two random ones in! Awesome
And I couldn’t taste the carrot & corn at all–even though I definitely chewed on some carrot pieces.
Tasted good though! Not too sweet, doughy, crunchy, chewy
Kinda like last time!
Got hungry a while later, so had some soup:
Winter melon…? And shitake mushrooms.
Another snack…may have been after running…? I think that was the day I went running with my dad…? [oh no--early onset Alzheimer's?!]
My raw brownies!!! Turned out actually brownie-like this time! ZOMFG. I used almonds and raisins [I threw in 2 pieces of apricot in 'cause I didn't want to use up all the raisins], and I think I overdid the raisins ’cause it was too sweet–but that problem was solved by throwing in the peanut butter!
The stuff in the bowl is just soup with a scoop of congree [rice + water] mixed in.
Lunch–take-out.
I had like…3 bowls ’cause I was starving! I don’t understand why I’m always hungry…?
But anyway–the red stuff is something called Honeymoon fried rice? Or something? It comes with tomato sauce & chicken & onions on one side, alfredo & shrimp on the other side. And the rice + egg is underneath the sauce. It’s very yum
The noodles’ just rice noodles + shrimp + egg. <3
Nooo I can’t believe it’s almost the end of August–this has got to be the fastest summer ever!

Smoothies & raw brownies = yum!
Summer DEFINITELY flew by – whew!
Raw Brownies?!!? YUM!
What a wonderful orange color in your smoothie. What’s that from?
This has definitely been the FASTEST SUMMER EVER!! I’m not liking that one bit.
I love the color of your smoothie!! And the raw brownie looks ultra-tasty…I’ve got such a craving for chocolate all of the sudden…hm…

I think it may have been largely from the combo of oranges, carrots, and strawberries?

Being lazy is so much fun!
I know! I’m not liking it either
