Whole30 Day 18 recap
Today I woke up feeling a lot more energized than I did in previous days. I credited it to good sleep. When I got up I had a lovely delivery of paleo and whole30 compliant frozen meals from Brian’s Bowls. It was raining out so the bag the bowls were in was a bit soggy but it didn’t get the food! I put the bowls in the freezer and got ready for work. I had my standard breakfast of 2 hard boiled eggs and some greens. Really need to work on spicing things ups bit.
For lunch I came home and heated up The Caveman from Brian’s Bowls. This is one of their top bowls but I never tried it because I didn’t eat red meat up until 6 months ago. Now that I’ve switched to “the dark side” and eat beef I decided to give it a try. It was pretty darn tasty and filling!
I was still pretty worn out from my workouts earlier in the week and decided to take a rest day. And by “rest” I mean make dinner and experiment with a new food creation. I made the paleo mustard chicken from the Practical Paleo book and served it with sweet potatoes. So easy and so good. Plus it makes for plenty of leftovers.
After dinner I decided to get creative and try and make my own almond milk for the first time. I had the almonds soaked and ready to go. I just had to blend them. I chose to use our standard blender over my trusty Magic Bullet because it seemed more sturdy. The almonds blended pretty easily. I used my almond nut milk bag and put it in each individual mason jar while I made the milk. I have to admit, the motion of squeezing the bag to get the milk out scarily reminded me of the concept of milking a cow. Gross! But it was made with almonds so no harm no foul. I gave my almond milk some flavor by adding some cinnamon and nutmeg. I do have to say that it turned out delicious! Can’t wait to try it again.
After the almond milk adventure I was pretty tired so I took some natural calm and headed to bed. The almond milk was a fun science and food experiment can’t wait to try it again.
