It was pretty fun, I have to admit. They had a raw vegan bar and I decided I was allowed a treat. It was a chocolate pudding with a nut crust, and it was a nice small serving. All the ingredients were "allowed" (no oil, salt, okay some agave nectar but it was a treat). Then I was going to get a juice at the juice bar but the juicer was broken. Travel-mate got a smoothie and I was asking the smoothie-maker what's a good one and she didn't have an opinion, so I decided oh well, I don't need one since I have my pudding. Sensing the loss of a sale she suggested one that a lot of people get that's not on the menu. I don't recall what it was. It has acai (?) berries in it which are supposed to be one of those wonder-foods. I said, okay, I'll get it. And it was excellent. I'm glad I got it. So that was my brekky: the pudding and the smoothie. more than enough but enjoyable. The only problem was that the chocolate affected me. I don't enjoy caffeine buzzes anymore. I buzzed for 7 hours, then was tired. So I guess chocolate will have to go off my list of allowed foods. It's a bit sad but not heartbreaking. Really, the smoothie was as good or better. So I think I can survive with other treats besides chocolate.
For lunch we had food from the Whole Foods salad bars. Mine was salad greens, fruit, peas and edamame:
Travel-mate had roasted potatoes (super salty!), some rice dishes, peas and corn:
For dinner, I finally started eating my now-thawed split pea and carrot soup (from the fuhrman forums, was in my freezer for a few weeks), over spinach. yummy. I'll have the rest of that for brekky tomorrow. and I had some carrots and celery and an apple and a mango (okay, should have held off on the mango).
Tomorrow we start camping for 4 nights, so no blogging. I got tons of good food from Whole foods. I'm planning to make "Gorgeous garlic greens soup" from Compassionate Cooks (you have to pay $5 to get the recipe packet). and a corn chowder if that runs out (with kale, potatoes, onions, corn, soy milk). I forgot that recipe so will just make it up. I will have salads and fruit for brekky until they run out. then I'll figure something out. we have lots of canned beans and veggies and potatoes and onions, etc. I forgot to get oranges but have apples and banana.
