These are HUGE organic keitt mangos. And so super orange and sweet! I got these by the case for cheap so I bought 10 cases. We ate a few cases but they all came ripe at once so I froze most of them. They make great ice cream for the kids. And I picked a ton of blackberries off my property and froze 3 large bags of them. So I have a good amount of frozen fruit. Mango and blackberry and oj go great together in a smoothie for kids. And make a great combo for ice cream too!
So here is sample of my meals.
Breakfast - oatmeal with handful of walnuts, raisins, maple syrup, one banana, some berries and a handful of granola cereal. If I have a long run then I add more fruit. I love this breakfast. I get the fast carbs from the fruit and then the slow carbs from the oats. I tend not to have to bring extra fuel on my run when I eat this. I run about 2 hours after this meal.
lunch - this is still my biggest meal of the day and it varries what I eat. Usually some type of bean with a potato or rice with steamed veggies and tomatoes. I vary this up alot with different beans, tubers and veggies. Never dull. I am loving my bean burgers too. And I wait about a 1/2 hour and have a piece of fruit. If I don't run that day then I omit the potato or rice and add more veggies.
So that whole food combining thing has gone out the window. The other day I had a 20 mile run. I had my usual breakfast and lunch and when I was done my body wanted something sweet. So I listened to it. Immediately after my bean and rice lunch I had on huge sweet cantaloupe. I had no issues at all.
Very interesting :) can you post how much fruit you eat now? Also what are some dinners now. Also when and how you make your mylk?
ReplyDeleteHi Aubrey,
ReplyDeleteI eat way less fruit now. I eat some fruit in my oatmeal for breakfast. Lunch I eat some fruit after my meal, like 1 cantaloupe or 2 apples or a bowl of nectarines. About 200-300 calories worth of fruit. My dinners really vary. Depending how active I am. Sometimes I eat another bowl of oatmeal, or have a salad with some fruit or just a green drink. My milk is the only processed food I drink. It is hemp milk in a carton. I drink if for the vitamin D and b12.
