Today I woke up at 6am to work out. I can’t believe I actually managed to show up at the gym by 645 to sign up for a spinning class that was packed. I also was told that I could not be in the class because I did not have a bottle of water. It would have been the second time that I got kicked out from a spinning class. I managed to find an empty plastic bottle abandoned outside on a bench in the gym and I just filled it up pretending it was mine. Yes I did it. The class turned out to be pretty weak. I did enjoy the 15 minutes abs and back.
When I came back home I drank/ate a super nutty smoothie I had prepared the night before and put it in the freezer. I put a table spoon of peanut butter, almond butter, coconut, some dried cherries and a smoothie base. It was rich!!! If you put your smoothies in the freezer and Let them defrost for one or two hours they will taste like icecream. It is a good alternative. Now make your own smoothies. Don’t buy imitations full of sugars and fake fruit. The other day I went to my favorite organic deli and I was somewhat disappointed by the fact that their best selling fruit smoothies was made with bottle juices they sell in the store. Really? You are going to charge me 5$ for juice? So make your own with left over fruit. If you use apples be careful adding milk because it just does not go well together. If you really need the sweetness add agave or honey.
For lunch I had eggs with a spinach salad. For snack a banana and nuts. Dinner is meatloaf!!!! I also had a piece of feta and a spoon of hummus for ‘merenda’
Btw. That is not a rice container. I recycle containers for other things like coconut!!!
