Undoing the day...

So, I started my day off well. I had the same breakfast as yesterday: hard boiled egg and my Peanut Butter Banana Muffin. Yes, breakfast was good. Dinner was extremely heavy.

Whenever I have a heavy meal, as full as I may be. I feel eating an apple or berries will sop up all the extra oil in me and clean me out. Of course this is all psychological but this makes me feel better. There's something about thinking of berries as a clean food, loaded with antioxidants and fiber. So, what did I do after my very heavy meal of Indian food (dessert included)? I made myself a very simple blackberry shake. In my hand held blender cup I put in a handful of frozen blackberries and about 2 cups of cold water. After a quick blend, I poured this into my juice jar and happily drank away!

Ah, now I can sleep easy tonight knowing the antioxidants from the blackberries is ridding my body of toxins :-p

Do you guys have any foods you eat to negate your food habits of the day?

Smoothie Time....

come to me

After my INSANE workout this morning, I replenished my body with an extremely bright blackberry smoothie, which I prepped last night. Last night I placed the following in my handy dandy magic bullet:

• 1 cup of frozen blackberries
• 1/4c of skim ricotta cheese
• 2TB of almond butter

This morning I added a splash of almond milk to get things moving along. I blended it all together.  It's a good thing I had this in the morning.  I was able to completely divert what was at work this morning:

stay away!!

A Berry Breakfast....

Since I had too much of the bad stuff last night, I was craving some good stuff this morning!  This morning's breakfast was non fat Greek yogurt topped with delicious blackberries, cinnamon and almonds!  Just what I need to get my system going again!

Another Berrytastic Smoothie

Saturday morning I made a wonderful pre workout smoothie. I was too keen on working out on a completely empty stomach so I made something light and filling to hold me over. I made a great berry smoothie with a secret ingredient. The deets are below: Ingredients 1/2 cup of blackberries 1/4 of a ripe avocado 1 cup of water Ice as needed Prep Blend all ingredients in a blender. Enjoy immediately! Ok, so in case you didn't guess it, the avocado is the secret ingredient. This gave my smoothie a richness and made it very thick. I got a healthy dose of monounsaturated fats from the avocado. I suggest you guys try this recipe out if you are looking for an instant pick me up.
