Porridge with mango, dried cranberries and rhubarb yoghurt
- 1 cup homemade muesli (it makes the best porridge, you get all the nuts and seeds in it too)
- Semi skimmed milk (no soy left at work) and some boiling water
- 1/2 cup frozen mango pieces
- Handful dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup Rachel's Organic low fat rhubarb yoghurt
12.40pm - cup of tea
See how full breakfast kept me!
1 mug nettle and peppermint tea
2.00pm - lunch
Leftover swede and sweet potato curry with kale and basmati rice
8.15pm - dinner
it would have been earlier had I not burned my hand and farted around for half an hour with a bandage!
Practically Vegan Chicken Pie with spring greens and mash
My serve included
1 slice of pie (made from puff pastry, "chicken" pieces, soy milk bechamel, leeks, courgette, etc) - I added lots of spinach to the filling today
1 small serve of swede and potato mash
Lots of microwaved spring greens
Recipe here.
Thoughts:
Seeing I was so hungry yesterday, I brought heaps of snacks to work today (banana, oatmeal raisin cookie, dried cranberries) but didn't need them because my porridge kept me so full until about 1.30 and then I was hungry for curry leftovers! My curry kept me satisfied until about 7 when I was home from my run and started getting dinner ready.
No snacking today :0) It is amazing the difference a really filling breaky makes doesn't it!
ReplyDeleteCan I ask what time you get up?? I don't think I could make it to 9.30am for breaky!!
That said, I often make a fresh juice & a coffee first then graze on my cereal at my desk an hour or so later.
Thanks for these posts & recipes!!!
I get up around 7.30 but am usually not hungry enough (or in too much of a rush!) to have breakfast before I leave for work, so I have it at work when I arrive, which is usually between 9 and 9.30am. I have a cup of tea before I leave home in the mornings, and that tends to keep me going until I get to work. But sometimes I don't have time for that either! I am so NOT a morning person!! heh heh
ReplyDeleteDinner at my place? For sure! Only if I can come to yours too! Could do a Come Dine with Me type arrangement?? ;o)
ReplyDeleteThis day looks really yummy - love your morning brekkie! I love starting the day with oats but usually go for Quakers and add some sunflower seeds, blueberries and sultanas! Yours looks a lot more wholesome!
What does swede taste like? Can't believe I've never tried it!
Swede tastes a bit like sweet potato and a parsnip. I really like it!
ReplyDeleteCome Dine With Me sounds like fun :)
