Only once in-store. I wasn't bad!

coffee alternative and Premier Protein, back to basics...

I shake the bottle hard to create a latte like foam

Yum! We're having lamb chops tonight! I wish they were being served in Iceland!

I NEED y'all to know ...

It took 3 Decaf Lipton to equal the strength of 1 caffeinated Lipton 😭😭😭

But I'm doing it for the culture...

I usually let it steep a LOT longer.

Has anyone ever tried Makhana (fox nuts, lotus seeds)?

Amazing texture and flavor

I had to Google them. Very interesting, might have to give them a try.

First meal of the day:

Shirataki noodle stir fry with grilled chicken and leftover mushroom mapo tofu. (Thanks @FluffyChix for the dry-fry-noodle tip!...so much better when the noodles aren't sopping wet)

Looks like I was a little optimistic about the portion size, I ate maybe 1/4 of it. Will take another stab at this in a couple hours. If I finish it, it will be 246 cals, 22g Protein, 12.4g net carbs, 12g fat.

EDIT: after writing this post, I realize I need to get more fat in, so I ate a tablespoon of Peanut Butter and will add some avocado chunks to the stir-fry when I attempt to eat it again later.

So I got this tub of yogurt at my local Indian market. It was the same price as a Chobani. I haven't tried it yet but its huge! (Brita pitcher for context)

Only you could ever need that much yogurt!

dinner tonight was awesome! I only wish I could have eaten one more bite. Moroccan grilled chicken thighs (boneless, skinless), tabbouleh (made with farro rather than couscous or bulgar wheat). So very yummy.

I've attached my before and after shots, as well as my 8yo's plate for comparison. She went back for seconds on the salad.

😍 This looks delish.

Tabbouleh: Another one to add to my to-make list! Will likely sub in cabbage or cauliflower rice in place of the farro/couscous/bulgur...
