I woke up with morning less than excited for the day ahead. With a headache that just wouldnt quit and an exaughstion I could feel in my bones, I ripped myself from the safety of my blankets and proceeded as usual for the day ahead. I started the day off with Green Apple Porridge.
The recipe, which states makes 2 servings, can be found in the Some Like It Raw Cleanse section of Super Cleanse by Adina Niemerow. I plugged the ingredients into MyFitnessPal's food diary and came up with the following: 378 calories, 18g of fat, 9g protein, and 13g fiber for the entire recipe (so if you only eat half you need to half the numbers as well. I ate the whole thing in one shot).
Lunch was a super yummy Kale & Tomato Salad I had made this morning. According to MyFitnessPal, the salad contained 123 calories, 1g fat, 3g protein, and 2g fiber.
1 cup Kale, leaves removed from stems & torn into pieces
2 plum tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1 tsp olive oil
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne
Place leaves in bowl or container, sprinkle with sea salt and massage until tender and wilted. This may take a few minutes - don't rush it!! Chop the tomatoes, dice the red onion and mix both together with the kale. Drizzle olive oil on top of vegetables and squeeze lemon on top. Sprinkle spices over vegetables and mix everything together until well combined. Enjoy!
Note
I've never eaten this immediately upon making but would think it is just as delicious as it tastes after sitting in the fridge for a few hours.

Yesterday's fruit bowl was so delicious, it inspired me to make another to bring to work. This time I used banana, peach and strawberries.
2 bananas, peeled
2 small peaches, chopped into small pieces
4 strawberries, sliced
Pure Vanilla Extract, optional
Dried Blueberries, soaked
Wash and cut fruit. Line container (or bowl) with one and a half (1.5) bananas. Place one and a half (1.5) of the chopped peach on top of the banana. Top the peach with starwberries. For the cream, blend remaining banana with remaining peach and some vanilla extract if using. Pour cream over fruit. Then top with blueberries. Enjoy!
For those who keep track, this works out to 281 calories, 1g fat, 4g protein, and 9g fiber.

Post work I hit the kitchen to make Falafel Burgers. As you can see from the picture above I sustained injury. Fortunately said injury transpired during the clean up process, which came after the burgers were made and placed in the oven to bake. I will post the recipe for the burgers tomorrow along with some pictures. I ate mine over a bed of greens & some raw vegetables on the side. Mmmmmm.... yummy!
My energy is all over the map today and right now I am feeling rather tired. I'm planning to listen to Andrew Johnson's Move On recording tonight, with this being my first time ever. In terms of last night's Relax, I have utilized that one in the past for an extended period of time and even last night I slept like a champ. (If you have not checked it out I strongly encourage you to give it a try.)
Have a great night everyone!!
