poems of fruit
dotted with seeds
raw green rhymes
in melodious bodies
~Terri Guillemets
Most of the year I try to eat healthy,
fruits, vegetables, eggs, yogurt,
sauerkraut, lots of salads.
I don't eat meat [a personnel choice]
and I avoid pasta and wheat because
every time I eat any I feel lousy and
who wants that?!
Then December rolled around
and for some reason everything
became a free for all and I ate
candy and cookies at will, always
seeming to grab 'just a bite' as I
passed by the counter.
Now it's January and on top of
a cold I am regretting all the
indulging I did last month because
I feel like a slug. You know, just blah!
Beginning January 1 I have been
consuming about a gallon of
green juice a day, along with
fresh vegetable salads, gallons
of green tea, kombucha, and
a new to me item...
green and hemp cereal
[I buy mine in bulk from
Whole Foods].
Have you tried it? I have
found I like to snack on
it dry about 10:00 a.m.
and it keeps me full
for 3 or 4 hours. My
only problem is not
eating too much, it
really does taste good.
What about you, do you
have any new food finds
to share?
nothing new, but i do love kombucha every day. and little miss and i love a green smoothie daily... water, lots of spinach (like about 2 cups) blended with frozen pineapple and sometimes 1/2 a banana, or maybe a few pieces of frozen mango. yum. that is one of my favorite ways to get greens in myself.
ReplyDeletemust check out this cereal! like you, i opted for lots of just-one-bites ;)
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried that cereal yet but I'm open to new tastes. You have summed up our December eating free for all as well. Time to refocus on the healthy foods :)
ReplyDeleteI have been having fiberous cereal - with flax and doodads- to start off my day each morning.
ReplyDeleteMy detox started today so I dragged the juicer out of the garage. There isn't really room for it all them time. My favourite is carrot and green apple but I must try some green juice.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of green and hemp cereal it sounds amazing. I'll go and do some research to see if I can find it locally.
Thanks for sharing. Sorry I don't have any healthy ones to share, only the sticky ginger curd.
Happy day

You must be feeling better now! December can really get out of control. I have been drinking tea lately, which is rare for me. I am craving the cleansing!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like that around here....but anything granola-y is a YUM in my book. I'm probably the only southerner who hasn't eaten broccoli rabe---a friend has been absolutely raving about it, so next time I venture out to the store, this is going to be my new taste treat.
ReplyDeleteNot something we are likely to see here, but maybe next time i go to the mainland. It sounds good. I do like to indulge over the festive season, i have to say, getting back to normal now, and the days are already getting longer xxx
ReplyDeleteI was at Whole Foods today and picked up a sack of Greens and Hemp cereal. It has a unique taste, like nothing I've ever eaten before--I like it! (My daughter does, too.) And, you're right; it is very filling and satisfying. A small amount makes a great snack/long-lasting energy boost. Thanks for recommending it. : )
ReplyDeleteI have nothing healthy to add, Tracey :-)
ReplyDeleteI am still in the same food splurge as I was a month ago.
But I definitely need to come to my senses - - - soon
