This morning I made the strawberry banana smoothie, and it was a perfect start to the day. Great recipe.
That reserved the hard-boiled eggs for lunch!
Snacked today on an apple, peach and a Kind bar. I also made a huge drink change that I think will work. I have had a serious Starbucks trenta black tea lemonade habit to get me through the afternoon. Starbucks is a short walk from my office, and I know that was sugar and preservatives I didn't need. So today I switched to black iced tea, and added a packet of honey and a wedge of lemon. It cuts the calories in half and seems a cleaner way to go. Good, yes?
And then dinner was great! Scott couldn't find the Amy's black bean burgers and I had all the ingredients and time to make homemade, so that's what I did. Also added a slice of pepper jack cheese and some guacamole. Extra calories for sure, but it helped get everyone on board and made it extra yummy. I have a serious dislike of steamed broccoli, so I roasted it with olive oil and garlic. Add the sweet potato fries, and everyone was very happy!!!

ReplyDeleteHey Lauri!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're liking everything! I, too, am an iced tea lover and had a similar revelation about Starbucks! What I like to do now for my iced tea fix is this Buddha's Mint Lemonade:
1 bag mint tea
Juice of an entire lemon
splash of agave, or honey if you'd like
Make the tea, add the agave/honey and a ton of water. Finish off with lemon juiice, stir and enjoy!
I drink it all day long and LOVE it...the mint is soothing, the lemon, cleansing and the sweet is almost enough for me to curb my sugar cravings..
Try it...you'll like it!

Will definitely try that. Thanks!
