What We’ve Been Eating Lately

August 25, 2015

Here is a glimpse at what we’ve been eating around here lately!  Everything (besides the Chick-Fil-A drink  qualifies as clean eating and gluten free).

Breakfast: Acai bowls!

Buy the Sambazon frozen acai packets (unsweetened) at Publix or Costco (thank you, Caroline, for finding them!!).  Run 2 packets under water for a few seconds, then break them up slightly.  Add to a blender with 2 bananas, 1 cup frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup frozen pineapple, and about 1 cup of your non-dairy liquid of choice (I use unsweetened coconut milk).  (I also added 1-2 cups raw baby spinach to the blend in the top picture). Blend until smooth.  Top with homemade granola (or grain-free granola), hemp seeds, chia seeds, fresh fruit, raw coconut flakes.  Enjoy!

Lunch:

1. Prosciutto & white cheddar on grilled bread rubbed with olive oil and garlic, topped with balsamic (avocado toast for Davis)

2. Turkey, avocado, tomato on a corn tortilla

3. Sauteed kale with a fried egg and avocado, topped with sriracha

Snacks:

1. Chick-fil-A unsweetened tea mixed with lemonade; or plain lemonade!

2. Homemade microwave popcorn (Place 1/4 c. non-GMO corn kernels [found at Trader Joe’s] + 1/2 Tbsp. coconut oil + 1/2 tsp sea salt in a bowl.  Mix, then place into a lunch-size brown paper bag. Fold the top over with 3 tight folds.  Cook in the microwave with the popcorn button).
