Eating better

Since I got back to working out, I've really tightened up on what I'm eating as well.  Most important for my digestive system is being GRAIN-FREE!

Being grain-free comes with a decent set of challenges.  Everywhere you turn, there's something made with flour, etc.  It's tough!

I eat a lot of steamed veggies, meat, and cheese.  Since I'm allergic to nuts, I can't eat those as snacks, so, I end up eating thinly sliced meats and cheeses as snacks.  I also make my own ground beef jerky in my dehydrator.

When I NEED something sweet, I grab some Dove dark chocolate.  Most primal and paleo folks will tell you to get something even darker, but, I have found that I don't tolerate it very well.  A couple little Dove promises and I'm satisfied.

My newest thing to do is make smoothies (I keep hoping that the weather will warm up a bit!).  My favorite smoothie is made with frozen blueberries, pomegranate seeds, and coconut milk.  Just blend in the blender or if you have a Magic Bullet, that's what I use.  Strawberry + coconut milk isn't bad, but it takes a lot of strawberries to get it to a taste that I enjoy.

Here's my smoothie from earlier:

Even my cats wanted to smell it!
