Primal Smoothies!

Hello. As you may have noticed already, eating eggs for breakfast everyday can get old. Make a primal smoothie instead! Here's how I make it:

1/2 a banana

Handful of frozen berries

1/2 cup or so of organic whole milk (from local farm)

Spoonful of almond butter

1 Serving of Vanilla protein powder

(Dash of honey if you want to sweeten it)

Blend! Serve! Drink!

Here's a pic of a recent smoothie... I added a dollop of homemade, organic whipped cream.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Also, I've lost 5 pounds, which may not sound like a lot, but adding that to the 4 pounds I had already lost since moving to Nashville, I weigh less now than I have in about 6 years. A couple more pounds and I will be at me wedding weight! :)

Coconut Crusted Fish

Beeki and I just dug into some great coconut crusted fish! (Mahi Mahi to be exact.) And it was delicious! Earlier I had tried coconut crusted chicken. It didn't go as well. The secret, I've learned, is to cook it at a lower temperature. With the chicken, the crust got all cooked and then started to burn before the meat was even half-way cooked! So this time I lowered the temperature and it went very well. It was awesomely tasty. And it was a cinch to make. I stole the basic idea from here. I used coconut oil to cook these and then put it on a bed of spinach with mango and walnuts. I finished it with a light drizzle of olive oil and everything tasted great! Primal Power!

Omelette

Boy am I stuffed! I didn't really eat all that much today, but what I did eat counted big time. I slept in today, so I only ended up with two meals. My first meal was an awesome omelette with ham. And for dinner I made my primal pizza with mashed cauliflower. After dinner I treated myself to a small glass of chocolate milk and a few spoonfuls of some vanilla ice cream. I don't usually indulge in the chocolate milk or the ice cream, but then, that's what makes it a treat, isn't it?

Anyway, here's my omelette recipe. I'll post my pizza one later.

- two eggs
- whole milk
- spinach
- onion
- garlic
- salsa
- monterrey jack cheese

I don't think I need to post any cooking instructions. It's an omelette. It's pretty simple. But what it delivers is some great protein, some good veggies, and a lot of satisfaction. Also, almost no carbs. Woo hoo! For even more protein, I had some leftover ham with it. It kept me feeling full for hours. Well, perhaps satisfied is a better description that full. I'm full tonight after the pizza, chocolate milk, and ice cream! But I was nice and sated earlier with plenty of energy.

Hope you're all having a great weekend! I'll be posting at least every Wednesday since that's my weigh-in day. I'll sprinkle in some other posts too with recipes, exercise details, and links when I can. Look for the pizza recipe to come soon. It's killer.
