Weekly food recap

Sunday evening

These babies are red currant also known as aalbessen in Dutch. They are quite common this time of year and are locally grown and organic. I used to really hate them because they have a lot of small seeds that get stuck between your teeth. However the vita-mix will pulverise almost all seeds and when adding a few hands of frozen strawberries it made a nice fresh smoothie.

Monday

Late breakfast waited until I got hungry, as you see all whole fruits, no blending and no green smoothie.
OK, this one is kind of special, it is a vegetable stew, I make these when I am in a hurry and about to exercise, these little monsters consist of all vegetables and small bit of agave syrup, honey, maple syrup or other natural sweetener. The food combining is perfect and allows me to eat this 800g vegetable stew and go out running only 10 minutes later and have enough energy for a few hours with high intensity training without any stomach issues. The vita-mix with its tamper is perfect for making this stew, and I dare you to find an other way to get so much vegetables into one meal and make it tasty enough to repeat it weekly!

Tuesday

Some water, two bananas hand of frozen blueberries and a few frozen cherries, I have a few of these smoothies every week.
Got some ripe kiwi’s for lunch.
And some melons a few hours later.
This was a post workout recovery drink with soaked almonds and sun warrior chocolate protein, I am still searching for a tasty good combined protein drink….

Wednesday

Blended some apples with a topping of cinnamon.
Experimented some more by trying to create carrot-zucchini-pancakes based on the recipe of sueintraining. I replaced the egg with tofu but maybe this was not such a good idea… I got a lot of zucchini (courgette) so I am trying to find as much interesting recipes :)The resulting mixture that went into the frying pan with some sesame oil, I also tried them with coconut oil.
The resulting pancakes, they look pretty good, but I found them tasting a bit to much after the flour.

Thursday

Breakfast and later the mango for lunch.
The ingredients for my vegetable stew minus the agave syrup I also used.
And an other fast vegetable stew before heading of for a group running session. It was really pouring rain, so we where completely soaked but it was a wonderful training.
The ingredients for my post workout recovery drink. I am trying to find some vegetable/protein combo that taste good. This was definitely not it :D
The resulting tomato sun warrior vanilla protein drink. (not so tasteful..)

Friday

A bunch of tangerines as breakfast.
Lunch a zucchini, cucumber, tomatoes, curly lettuce and peanut butter spread roll. It was correct food combining and no bread, and it tasted pretty good.
Same thing from a different angle.
I made an other variation for dinner only with a raw nori sheet and with some non raw/organic Heinz sandwich spread natural.
Received my stock resupply with some special hard to get ingredients!

Saturday

Went for a morning run and came back around lunch time.

Wanted to tryout some of my new ingredients like the white miso, Brazil nuts (paranoten), almond butter and some sun dried tomatoes.

The raw nori sheet with nut spread, courgette, bean sprouts(taugé), carrots and cucumber.
The resulting nori sheets!

So this is my first weekly recap, I hope you liked it! How did your week go food wise?

Cheerio,

Jelle
