Pics That Inspire Me

My lunch day 4. The white portion that looks like potato salad is actually a tofu salad that tasted very similar to potato salad. Very good. 
I find it very interesting that I choose to eat almost vegan when I’m given the choice. I think it’s the ultimate clean.

Today’s Whole Foods run! 

What I ate at Jon’s:
Whole wheat bread with natural peanut butter and a cut up date 
Apple
Grapes
Almond milk

  • Whole wheat bread with natural peanut butter and a cut up date 
  • Apple
  • Grapes
  • Almond milk
Decadent treat under 100c:
1 packet of Carnation Light Hot Chocolate pouches, only 45 cals each 
half cup boiling water
1 tbsp fresh chopped ginger
1/3 cup almond milk
1 tbsp whipping cream 
My number one craving is chocolate. This quenches that, I get calcium, and the warmness of both the water temperature and ginger makes me fully satisfied— not wanting more or something else. 
I have this in the afternoon when I’m craving sweets.

This is why I like the food court at my school. I got this for $6. The soup has onions, legumes of some sort, and lentils.
