Happy September!
I’m currently in the Caribbean… it’s been fun going to markets on different islands. Hope everyone is doing great! I love the promise of new months and new beginnings.
Found some lovely melon and greens 🥬 (spinach and sweet pea greens) that I thought would make a refreshing shake. I have been traveling with some packets of collagen to to add in some protein.
Breakfast shake:

Brunch
🥬 greens and melon juice, 🥒 cucumber, Spanish mackerel with 🍅 pureed tomato, poached eggs.

I listened to this podcast this morning about eating 30 plants a week. I know for many of us that's easy to get but it was more about the variety of ingredients from plant sources and I thought I might try to keep track of all the little portions and punches to see how many I have. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4DPOdwIPiD0OBqrK3XbUb8?si=FYZvprwuT2aMVgZTUSjM4w4

@bodytalking - thanks!! 😊
Re eating 30 plants per week - That’s inspiring! Will have to listen to that Podcast!!
I was reading that variety in plants and foods really gives the body all the vitamins and minerals it needs.
I do take a vitamin supplement- but I always wonder if getting vitamins from food is more bio available.
Food for thought! 💭 pun? lol
@bronzino23 - welcome!!! 🥬 love the shake!! 💪2 -
Hello everyone 🌴🌴🌴🛺🛺
Salad for lunch today… Shake planed for tomorrow 👍🌴🍁2 -
Hey everyone, thanks for the add, it's been a couple of hectic weeks for me, quitting my job and trying to relax and find something new, so this will be a great way to get my mind on track1

Last 2 weeks kind of a slow start. Back to work/the school year started with training a new teacher-librarian coworker & 5 new library assistants, not much room for my own work/goals.
So trying to start September off better.
For breakfast (no picture) but had an omelette with Swiss cheese & tomatoes. Lunch was Greek salad with croutons thrown on top & a Mediterranean veggie sandwich of tomato, arugula, cucumber, feta.
Snack later of sliced red apple, Asian pear, and cheese.
Tomorrow I’ m hoping to try a new corn chowder recipe with ingredients I picked up at farmers market yesterday and do food prep for breakfast/lunches for work week that are protein (breakfast)& vegetarian centric.

Day one (Sunday) was my Organika collagen & greens drink in the morning and an abundance of fresh warm tomatoes straight from the vine while doing garden clear out. Still getting fabulous orange peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, and herbs. We had the final feed of lettuce from the garden at dinner.
Day two (Monday) was more warm off the vine tomatoes, and a salad of prairie picnic blend greens with pea shoots, zucchini, mushrooms, celery and some green grapes with an herb vinaigrette (sourced from my garden). Served with tortellini pasta with pesto sauce. Delicious!2 -

Hi All!
Got in my greens today!
Started off with a shake - celery, watercress, cucumber, kale, spinach, lemon, a little bit of end of summer apple to sweeten just a bit.
It came out a very bright celery green! Tasted great though. 😋
Made enough to sip on through the day.
low cal and low sugar.

Very nice
My problem.. I think is the sugar
In the strawberries1 -
I had a 3 day trip for some medical checkups but tried to get greens in when I could.
Dinner at Italian place-pasta/scallops with asparagus, sundried tomatoes, zucchini
Greek salad for lunch one day
I had to past from 6pm on till late monday, but Sunday for dinner I had a buffalo chicken salad: lettuce, tomato, chicken, celery, carrots & buffalo sauce. I thought I took a picture, but can’t find it-oops.

This week, I've had pesto - basil and pinenuts - yes, it's high in calories but I looooove it, frozen fruit - raspberries and blueberries - in my evening drink with ginger and turmeric, fresh fruit - grapes and bananas - during breaks, dried fruit - with yoghurt and muesli - for breakfast.4
-
Veg-wise, I've had bell pepper, tomato, potato, onion, cabbage coleslaw, sweetcorn, spring onion, lettuce.....but, I haven't had many greens. I saw fresh Brussels sprouts in a shop yesterday, so I'll need to get some proper greens today and get on the green wagon again!!
🥒🫑🫛🥬🌿💚3 -
Hi All!
Awesome greens all around! Inspiring!
This morning - cucumber, kale, matcha greens shake and wild sea bass in red leaf lettuces.

Okay semi fail last night, but slight save. So I try not eat pizza as much as I did when I was younger (haha As a kid no one counts their slices. I’m talking 20’s through 40s.) My partner offered to make me a salad, but I just wasn’t in mood. But the pizza had sausage , olives, mushrooms, and green peppers on it so it was fruit/veg heavy & at least some green veg on there. I will take the tiny win/effort. My plan on Saturday after farmers market is to really make a point to prep veg for the weeks meals so they don’t go bad & are ready to use ingredients (chopped, pre-cooked, etc.)3

I got greens today 🟢 Brussels sprouts and cauliflower leaves! I had them with Zander fish, cauliflower florettes and chickpea mash. Oh and I had avocado too 🥑3
-
@filmgal30 - actually one of my fav Cauli pizzas is a veggie with a ton of peppers and greens on it! 😋 craving that now.. haha
- is it veggies with pizza? or pizza with veggies??. 🤔 hmm
@BodyTalking - those Brussels sprouts 🌱 and cauliflower w 🥑 sound awesome!! 👏
