    Premier protein shakes. I crave them after a workout. They must put something addictive in them, lol

    I have some just sitting in my cupboard. Got a few of them (freebie) but I haven't tried cause the ingredients don't jive with what I'd want to consume...

    I have had strawberries with dark chocolate hummus every night for the past 3 weeks. Sometimes I add in some coconut milk whipped cream.

    I've never even heard of that yummy sounding flavor hummus! I looked online, and it seems to be double the calories of regular hummus (340 cal/2 oz for chocolate vs 170 cal/2.5 oz for plain hummus, so that will be a treat that I look forward to once I have a bit more weight loss. It sounds goooooood.

    I finally found a protein drink (mix) that I can tolerate the texture and taste, and as time has gone by, I've grown to actually like it. I get it at Costco, Orgain Organic Protein mix (I choose the chocolate flavored). I mix one scoop with 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk.

    All the things I am having to now restrict due to my chronic medical junk acting up and causing increases in my pain levels.

    Strawberries
    Tomatoes
    Yogurt
    Soda
    Curry
    Hot sauce

    There is more but those are the cravings I am having that I can't fulfill.

    I buy Tribe. A serving is 60 calories for 33 g. A double serving at 66 g is actually really satisfying and filling for only 120 calories, especially if you put it on fruit rather than eat by the spoonful. It tastes like brownie batter. Give it a go!

    Kid meat. It is milder and leaner than lamb. It's more expensive though, as goats need to be weaned later than lambs so they more expensive to raise. The billy's used to be slaughtered at birth because they were seen as a waste product of the goat cheese industry so it's nice to see some farmers raising the billy's for meat. We had roast kid goat racks tonight.

    edamame! I buy them as frozen bags, defrost one a week and that's my lunch. VERY filling, low calorie and so yummy!

    Kid isn't veal. It's young goat. The argument against humane (non crate) veal seems to be "it's not vegan," also.

    True, it was in my heart to had to share regardless. I am not trying to be preachy or against anyone or anything. I have just recently been doing a lot of research and nutritional education and happened to discover so much in the past few years that it devastates me what we are doing to the earth!

    Weirdly, I hate Stevia because it tastes so strong! Most people seem to like it just fine. I can taste it in some prepared drinks and foods that other people I ask, they don't even taste it at all. Go figure.

    My current obsession.... I don't even have one today! So, I just ate some (healthy recipe) left overs, and was done for the day. Perhaps I'll consider Celestial Season Cinnamon Apple Spice herbal tea as my obsession, I've been drinking it as ice tea all day, and will make a cup of hot tea before bedtime.

    Stevia is definitely an acquired taste. I actually love the bite/bitterness of it. I hate sucralose and other sweeteners because they don't have that flavor lol.

    I've one more day of leftover (so cold) Hawaiian Purple Sweet Potato. Today it was on my plate with my lettuce salad, but when I'm done with tomorrow's serving, I think I'll be over this obsession for awhile.

    Check out my little friend on my lettuce, so far there's one ladybug and one larvae but I just killed all the aphids with dishwashing soap.

    Pancakes, pancakes, pancakes.

    I go to bed happy I’ll be having them for breakfast and wake up happy I am having them for breakfast.

    I had to stop myself from making a batch for snacks this afternoon.

    EggLife egg white wraps! They are tasty af, low in calories and high in protein. I'm currently going through a 6 pack per day which is unsustainable but in the meantime...YOEO (you only egg once...?)

    Well obviously my obsession today was Margaretta Pizza (IOW, diced tomato topped, cracker-thin dough). 900 calories total, and I ate ever bite by the end of the day. Calorie count I didn't go too far off the rails, since I otherwise just had salad and a protein drink.
