so, today was a relatively boring day. i woke up early, had breakfast, watched tv, and headed out the door to work. unfortunately, work was pretty dead, so i thought about how hungry i was - all day. and having forgot my snack at home, i was not very happy. anyways, i started the day off right with some oatmeal. i like to customize my oatmeal so i don't get tired of it. today it was: plain oatmeal, dried cranberries, raisins, brown sugar, granola and rice milk.
i didn't used to like dried fruit, now i find myself craving its sweetness. has anyone else ever experienced this? i've also found my sweet tooth is a lot easier satiated with an apple or fruit - this is awesome!
my favourite meal of the day is breakfast - i love fruit, grains, and being filled throughout the day. therefore, i tend to eat a lot more at breakfast, while eating less over the day.
some of my other favourite oatmeal "fixings": almonds, maple syrup, fresh berries, coconut milk, puffed wheat, toasted/untoasted coconut, carob chips, peanut butter (all natural).
to me, oatmeal is a blank canvas - what it lacks in flavour, it makes up for in substance. therefore, i mix thousands of things into my oatmeal in order to differentiate it from yesterday's. please do not get bored of my oatmeal - it will definitely be a constant.
for dinner, i had a sushi date with one of my best friends - we go for "sushi sunday." because she fully supports my veganism, we stuck to vegan-friendly rolls.
i started the meal with some miso soup - i realize that this is packed with sodium. it's a weekly ritual though - i'm not budging. then, i munched cucumber (kappa) rolls, avocado rolls, cucumber and avocado rolls (i know, redundant), and vegetable rolls. we also ordered vegetable tempura, but i found it fairly greasy and unenjoyable.
after all of this, i'm eating crackers and homemade dill pickle dip. i'll hopefully post that recipe tomorrow - it is delicious and protein-packed.
xx take care, animal-friendly followers
