Stew- chicken, peppers medley, green onion, rainbow carrots, yellow onion, celery, chanterelle mushrooms, cauliflower rice and some heirloom tomatoes.. 🌶🥕🍅
Your stew sounds amazing!
What does algae taste like?
I finished black bean soup, had coleslaw, and two salads today. I'm debating between lentil vegetable soup, turkey sweet potato chili, and split pea in the Instant pot but will probably wait to decide tomorrow. Bought a dried bean I've never heard of so that's an option too.3 -
Last night I had a really tasty parfait with frozen blueberries, heavy cream, chia seeds, cacao nibs, hemp hearts, and pecans. I love how the heavy cream freezes a bit from proximity to the blueberries. This is my go-to Coldstone Creamery replacement

@Katmary71 - thanks!! I usually toss it in a pot at night and we have stew for breakfast. Strange how I get up more easily in the morning when I smell the scent of stew in the house. Lol
Re: Blue Green Algae- i typically have it in a smoothie with greens, flax milk and avocado - so I can’t really distinguish a taste. 🤔 I have BGA capsules and they smell very mild - kinda wheatgrassy. Ish. No taste really to me.
I’ve been following the research on BGA as an antioxidant - here is a good National institute of health research palaver if you are interested. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3576896/#s001title
You’ve inspired me to have a smoothie! 🤗

@ploomka - you’re speaking my language!! Looooooove chia seeds! That’s sounds awesome!2 -
@Safari_Gal_ wow, BGA is really good for you! I don't care for avocados and my blender sucks or I'd try out your smoothie combo! I do like wheatgrass though! Glad I inspired it to drink a smoothie!
Funny, I bought chia seeds to add to oatmeal but haven't tried them,I got a big container at Grocery Outlet.1 -
Had a pretty healthy day, 3 salads plus soup. I made split pea red lentil jalepeno soup in the Instant pot. I honestly could eat split pea every day, it's my favorite soup. Added a ton of veggies and used Better than Bouillon vegetable in it, that stuff is super salty! I'm making vegetable broth from scraps in the Instant pot now, waiting for it to finish so I can go to bed. I should've swapped them around instead of using Better Than Bouillon.3

@Safari_Gal_ What a good idea to start your stew at night! I keep getting behind on my dinner plans because I keep forgetting to start my crock pot early enough, and I don't want it to cook while I am in my fasting window after 6pm because that would make me insane with hunger LOL. I am going to try making my roast when I go to bed in future. Then I can have roast for breakfast with my eggs. What a brilliant idea!
And yes, the chia seeds are the best. I need to make some chia pudding. I love how they absorb all the liquid. They are like bubble tea!1 -
I really like this thread and have learned so much already. Personally I have been trying to keep the spirit of summer alive through my food choices lol. So today we worked with fresh garden veggies...Cucumber coconut smoothies, fresh apples, bell peppers and things of this nature. Still in the cleanse so haven't started getting to funky with them yet. But sometimes simple is best right?4

I have a smoothie I'm drinking for midnight meal in the middle of my 12 hr night shift.
1/2 avocado (left over from another meal)
1/8 cup chia seeds
1 cup unsweetened almond milk with coconut
5 drops of clean liquid stevia
1 scoop of a chocolate greens mixture
(I won't name drop, but I think these greens mixtures are good on the fly when you're out of time to meal prep or your fridge is low)2 -
This whole smoothie is:
Carb: 20
Fat: 24
Protien: 9
Dietary Fiber: 17
Net carbs: 3
Makes a little less than 2 cups of smoothie.
(The brand of greens mix I use has 1g Carb, 1g Protein, and 1g Dietary Fiber).1 -
New to the group and praying I find inspiration from you all to help me with clean eating!!
I am on week 4 of the 310 meal replacement and weeks 7 of beachbody (Lift 4 and MM). Breakfast for the past 7wks has been coffee /creamer, lunch my 310 shake and for supper I make venison with a potato of some sorts and a vegetable. I keep my portions small! Almost every night our meat is either deer we harvested or rabbit. We try not to ever buy store bought meat.3 -
Doin the spaghetti squash thing tonight.
Making my own sauce (allergic to garlic) with crushed tomato and basil, sauteed mushrooms, onions, and peppers, parmesan, and precooked alfresco sweet Italian chicken sausage. Adding butter and colby jack to the top of the spaghetti squash.
Last night did cloud bread bun cheese burgers. Really good.2 -
And one more item to add:
I just made myself a lovely little dessert of ricotta cheese, cashews, cacao nibs, maple extract, and monk fruit sweetener. Really tasty!! I love my maple extract.2 -
Spinach and hard boiled egg with homemade warm bacon dressing (Alton brown) for lunch.
Chicken on Chinese fried cauliflower rice for dinner.1 -

Would love to join this group! After reading your past comments, sounds like everyone is eating what I am - organic veg, meats, fish and eggs - little dairy - but love cheese! I am retired so I cook for my self everyday and make up recipes on the fly - I am finding that MF is great for putting in my ingredients and MF calculates the calories, fat, etc. Great tool! - Looking to lose35 lbs. by October so on a 1200 cal diet a day. I look forward to keeping up to date on everyone7

For breakfast I had a 2 scramble egg omelet with mushrooms, spinach, cilantro, onions, tomato, and avocado and black coffee. Lunch will be 1/4 slice of homemade pizza with meatless Italian sausage and veggies. I have not decided on dinner yet.4

I'm right there with you! I'm 20 lbs into my 35 - 40 lbs journey. Started early November and planning to be at my goal weight by the end of April/early May. Was SOO hungry when I started but now I feel great. Eating less has allowed my body to cleanse and work so much better.1 -
@Safari_Gal_ , thanks! I am all better now
I went to NYC over the weekend and came back engaged! I am so excited!!!
We continued eating "Clean" and walked everywhere in the 30 something weather!
Anyway, today's breakfast was Egg bake.
Green peas, zoodles and mozzarella cheese baked in eggs.
Lunch was Salad.
Romaine lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, mini tomatoes, green olives, chicken breast.
Dinner will be Protein drink and soup after OTF.
I have apples and string cheese for snacks if I need it later-0 -

I need some ideas! Feel like I have been making/eating the same stuff.
Breakfast smoothie (because it's fast and simple yet filling)
Lunch salad with protein (because I love a good salad)
Dinner: ???
Tonight I may make lentil rice mujadara. With something that I can make with ground turkey.
Any ideas?? Turkey balls, Ground turkey sir fry, Lettuce wraps... Yeah, I think I'll do meatballs to go with the mujadra:)
How are you guys mixing things up? I don't go grocery shopping as much now. I try doing with what I have on hand.2 -
My dinner last night was a Hit! Kids gobbled it up

@weatherking2019 - I'm also struggling to come up with ideas to change things up.
Seeing the posts in here has helped.
I'm going to make some falafel.
I'm also going to make a lentil salad: thanks for that suggestion.
