Last night we took my nephew to Red Lobster for a belated birthday. While being around cheddar bay biscuits is dangerous I did have a house salad with mango/pineapple vinaigrette & a side of broccoli to get greens in for day. I also had some stuffed button mushrooms (but as they are fungi not sure I’d count as a veg).
For breakfast today I made an omelette that had potato and tomato in it. (Sorry no picture.)2 -

If I counted chick peas, you can def count mushrooms! 🤣 Looks and sounds delish! 😋1 -
For lunch I had a salad made with Chinese leaves and cherry tomatoes from my garden (sorry I forgot to take a photo)
This was my tea: chicken, homemade chips using oil spray, carrots and broccoli
I love seeing everyone's photos 😄 we are going to see my in-laws tomorrow and they have some veggies from their allotment for us, looking forward to cooking / prepare the random selection of veg we'll be given

Hi guys, sorry no pix. I had walnuts & dried pineapples with my protein tea this morning, and I had grape tomatoes, more walnuts, and more pineapples for lunch today. We're leaving tonight. I made a post about our trip itinerary, if anyone is interested. I'll be back on Tues Sep 10 - tho I will try to check in while gone, I'm just not certain what kind of time I'll have.
Be well! Life is Good! (channeling Danny again
)
Cheers,

@SafariGalNYC your food looks so pretty 😍 but also great scenery
@dannytrees1 curious about your shakes, once blended does it look very green?
Apple topped porridge for breakfast
Salad for lunch (the tomatoes are from my garden)
Homemade turkey burger (with courgette hiding in) served with corn on the cob, kale (a bit overcooked 🫣) and sauté potatoes for tea

Airline food Tuesday? (tho Turkish Airlines does do pretty good food. Not sure what day that was, lol. I e had 1hr 27m Monday night (on the plane).
Chose the Salmon and Ratatouie rather than the Pasta & Spinach (Cannelloni?). There was also hummus & salaş, and breakfast had egg scrsmbke with green owpoer, and tonaties, on the Side, türe was aksi a veggie & cheese biwl, and a fruit salaş, sll small portikns, but git de ne plants in.
We only had öne meal in Turkey - Pilaf w chicken and salad, under the lights of Galata Tower 🫶- can't wait to try all the wonderful vegetarian meals while I'm here.
Hm, I had pix, but I can't seem to post them from the Android app 🤔. I'll do it tomorrow, when I unpack my laptop.

@Emilienewme - thanks!! Your dishes look fab! Tomatoes fresh from the garden.. yum!
@mkksemail - I love the herbs and veg in Turkey! Looking forward to Istanbul greens!
@dannytrees1 - love the addition of cilantro 🌿 to shake! I’ve added rosemary in the morning for focus. Esp with berries and cacao nibs!
- some greens and proteins for me ..
3 -
@Emillienewme no they don’t turn green.
I think it’s because I add the pomegranate juice.
And I do this for most shake.
@Mjksemil good for you choosing the right foods… keep it going… it will be worth it 🌴🌴🛺
And enjoy the trip 👍
@SafariGalNyc. I had chicken today too… hit my protein goal at lunch.
The story about the Clinantro is I really didn’t know what I was buying… it looked fresh and then I looked later and seen what it was💪
It tasted great… another new staple in my adventure.
Keep the greens going everyone
It will be great for your system
New Shake planed for tomorrow

On the laptop!
Turkish Airlines in-flight (Economy) menu. I had:
~ Chicken Caesar Salad, Grilled Filet of Salmon, ratatouille, celericac puree lemon butter, a dinner roll w/ butter, carrot cake, & sour cherry juice for dinner;
~ a couple water bottles in-flight;
~ and seasonal fresh fruit, assorted cheese (& veggies), scrambled eggs, sauteed potatoes, pepper, tomatoes, another roll w/ butter & jam this time, and sour cherry juice & tea for breakfast. No pictures tho, just a pic of the menu card to help me log it later (which I haven't done yet, lol, but I will!):
Dinner at a street cafe, just under Galata Tower. Pilaf, Veggies, Chicken and some fries (I gave the fries to my daughter ):
Breakfast at the hotel breakfast buffet I made a friend, she was so sweet. She was American, her parents were Yemeni. She spoke native English, fluent Arabic, and was learning Spanish. So bubbly and chatty. I was taking a picture of the breakfast, and caught her, too. I apologized, but she smiled, and laughed, she started chatting, telling me how her Mom does that to her all the time, takes pictures when she doesn't expect it, lol:
They had dessert too 😬. I took two of each, of the cookies, etc, to try with my husband. I only ate the fudge, and a chocolate-covered graham cracker, tho. He ate the same. We wrapped the rest for later, which we probably weren't supposed to do, but oh well, lol:
And here are a few more pictures - our hotel room has a balcony with a view of Galata Tower, and Aya Sofya, too, in the background:
At dinner - we ate at a street cafe, just 1 block in from Galata Tower. The younger couple is my daughter and her husband, the older couple is my husband and me. The arts-y type photo is a picture my daughter took, and put on her Instagram :
And lastly, Istanbul is famous for their street cats! 😸😻🐈. This is my daughter feeding some chicken to three young kitties 💜:
Cheers!

Hello, Sorry first full week of school, but training 4 new people is kind of crushing me & not letting me have enough time to keep up with my own work. It was supposed to be for a vegetarian lunch, but I only had time to eat some French Fries (not pictured) so i added some left over breaded chicken and had this salad for dinner-used a packet dressing (usually only use 1/2 but went crazy & used all this time).

Busy day for me , doing firewood.
No shake today.
Made these wraps for lunch
Bbq chicken and Cilantro on whole wheat, and a new ginger lime Perrier
Have a great day 🌴🛺2 -
I didn't take a photo because it looked yucky but I had a gloopy breakfast of chia seeds, psyllium, oats, raisins, honey, yoghurt and plenty of water for consistency.3

I am going back to work next week so I did a bit of meal prep today
I made a batch of celeriac and cauliflower soup to freeze ready for a quick lunch
Some homemade healthier granola for breakfast (sorry, no greens but it is really easy to make)
And this was my tea: basa fillet with some brown rice, boiled beetroot and cheese topped courgette

Don’t have many add ins while I’m away.. but I love all the omega 3s and minerals in your shake. (Flax, chia, hemp) I try to do a bunch of those - for a host of reasons. 🌿
