Toocrazy!! Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I didn’t post in September, and I didn’t lose any weight;) so maybe I’ll try again in October and see if I can’t lose a few pounds. Saturday- breakfast - handful dry roasted cashews lunch- smoothie with mixed berries, flaxseed, chia seeds and lime juice. Bacon, manchego dinner- turkey, cheddar, potato chips I’m still trying to eat 35-40 different plant products a week. When I concentrate on that and getting enough protein it’s a good mix for me personally. Today wasn’t a great veggie day unfortunately. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 It's been a few months since I set a goal because everything has been going so well. For October, I do have one adjustment in mind - I am going to bump up my daily intake of fresh greens a bit. Breakfast is the best time for me to do this, since lunch already includes a big mixing bowl of greens, and dinner is my lightest meal of the day. Sunday - Breakfast - Mixed microgreens, watercress, and kale (approximately two cups more than my previous amount). Muesli with soybeans, guava, dragon fruit, blueberries, cantaloupe, pineapple, pomegranate, mango, banana, kiwi, apple, pear, figs, mulberries, goji berries, goldenberries, walnuts, flax, chia, hemp, sunflower & pumpkin seeds, walnut milk. Lunch - Greens (lettuces, spinach, frisée, radicchio). Whole grain pita with cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, cashew mayo, mustard, shredded Brussels sprouts. A few Brazil nuts. Dinner - Same as last night - a bowl of leftover bean/whole grain/veggie soup and an artichoke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also curious about the muesli with soybeans. How are the soybeans - raw, cooked, hot or cold? I have never had soybeans with muesli so trying to picture how it would look and taste. I know from other posts that we eat in a similar manner. I have some serious chronic health issues and am trying to eat as many colorful plants as possible. I love the idea of eating greens with breakfast. I need to incorporate that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know from other posts that we eat in a similar manner. I have some serious chronic health issues and am trying to eat as many colorful plants as possible. I love the idea of eating greens with breakfast. I need to incorporate that. Here’s a pic of my breakfast this morning, with my greens and my breakfast bowl. I don’t usually measure food, but I paid attention this morning so I could describe what is in it. It sounds kind of complicated when I list it all out, but it literally takes 5 minutes or less to toss this all in a bowl. So today’s bowl included 1/8 cup each of apple, Asian pear, pineapple, cantaloupe, and dragonfruit - plus half a kiwi, half a small guava, half a small banana, 1 fresh fig, 3 cherries, 1/4 cup pomegranate arils, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/3 cup muesli, 1/3 cup black ayocote beans, 1/4 cup walnuts, 1 T seed mix (chia, hemp, sunflower, pumpkin), 1 T flax seed, a sprinkle of spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves), and about a cup of walnut milk. For greens, I had about 4 cups of mixed microgreens and watercress. This greens/bowl combo has become my go-to morning meal because it is a fairly large volume of food with high nutrients, low calorie density, and a lot of plant diversity. I switch up the fruits and beans according to what I have on hand. The beans for breakfast idea came from Dr. Greger, who recommends beans at every meal. He eats beans in his oatmeal, so I started putting cannellini beans in my breakfast bowl. Then I became more of a bean aficionado over time, so now I use a wide variety. I probably have 30+ buckets and jars of different types of beans and legumes in my pantry. I cook dry beans and then freeze them, and toss them into my breakfast bowl while frozen. I eat soybeans very often because of the health benefits of soy - I shoot for 2-3 servings of soy a day, either soybeans or edamame or tofu, and occasionally tempeh (although I am not a huge fan of tempeh). 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoVanGogh Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 That looks and sounds fantastic, Selkie. Thank you for the photograph and additional information. It doesn’t sound too complicated, but we eat a ton of fresh fruits and veggies and once one gets proficient at washing and chopping, it really isn’t bad. I have never had beans in breakfast cereal so sounds a bit odd but intriguing. We do eat a lot of beans and I add them to almost everything, except breakfast cereal. Very inspirational. Thank you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toocrazy!! Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I haven’t been tracking very well, but the last two days have been some combination of a smoothie with mixed berries, greens, flaxseed, chia seeds and lime juice. Greek salads with peppers, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkin seeds, feta, red wine vinaigrette. And chipotle burrito bowls without rice but everything else. We’ve been playing pickleball in the evening which messes up my dinner time, so I’ve been eating breakfast and lunch, and then cheese, crackers and nuts when I get home because I’m so hungry. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Blue Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 @Selkieyour breakfast pic looks good. I, too, had been wondering about your breakfast bowl, so I’m glad you posted it. You’re putting small amounts of lots of things, so what is your method of freezing the beans and using them in small amounts? ( I need to come up with a low fodmap version of this). Do you just cut up lots of different fruits for the week to pull out and use each day? Also, just a note, I’ve discovered macadamia nut milk makes a super creamy nut milk. They are pricey, though. I use 1/4 cup macadamia nuts in one cup of water in Blendtec. I made tomato soup last night with it. One glass jar of Bionature tomato purée, one cup macadamia nut milk, water, Fody veg soup base (spice mix), fresh basil. It was good, but I perhaps used a bit too much basil. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My method for freezing beans isn't very fancy - I just plop them in a ziploc bag and stick them in the freezer, and then grab whatever amount I need. It works pretty well. Sometimes the beans freeze together, but I just whack the bag on the counter to separate them. I cut the sturdier fruits up ahead of time, like pineapple and cantaloupe. The more fragile fruits like banana get cut up just beforehand. I use a lot of frozen fruits, too - my big deep freeze is completely stuffed with all different kinds of frozen fruits and veggies (plus a few pizzas for when my kids come home, lol). Macademia nut milk sounds so good! I'll have to try that. I use macadamias sometimes to make banana nice cream, yum. I use walnut milk most often because of the omega 3's. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Friday - Breakfast - Mixed greens and microgreens. Muesli with Dominican beans, banana, apple, pear, kiwi, cherries, blueberries, pineapple, pomegranate, mulberries, goji berries, goldenberries, walnuts, flax, chia, hemp, sunflower & pumpkin seeds, walnut milk. Lunch - Dh and I went to an event that one of our college kids is participating in, and were on the road for several hours. I packed lunch for us so we could avoid restaurant or gas station food. We had whole grain wraps with Actual Veggies purple burgers (beet/carrot/red onion) with cashew mayo, mustard, scallions, and pickles. I also brought a big ziploc of roasted broccoli and another of apple and pear slices. It was a perfect lunch to eat in the car. Dinner - A big pile of mixed greens with chickpea salad (from our WFPB meal prep service) and sliced fresh tomatoes. Two oat/raisin “Not-A-Cookies” for dessert. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Blue Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) @SelkieWhat is a Not-A-Cookie? ETA: While you’re here, would you mind telling me how to make banana nice cream? 😁 Edited October 8, 2022 by Indigo Blue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Blue Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) I found a recipe for oat “cookies” using only oat flour, mashed banana, and nuts/fruit. It’s basically baked oatmeal, but there’s no oil or sugar added in. They are very easy, portable, freezable, and delicious. For anyone interested: You just mash two fresh bananas into a sort of purée and add one cup of oat flour. (I make mine in Blendtec). Add in up to 1/4 cup of add ins such as nuts or fruit. Mix thoroughly to form sticky dough. Place by large spoonful (I use 1/4 cup measure) onto wax paper lined baking sheet. Flatten and shape into round “cookies”. Bake @350 for 15 minutes. I top mine with oat flour and extra nuts/blueberries, and I always double the recipe. It makes 7-8 large cookies. I freeze some for later and put a few in the fridge. They are best warm, but you can take them out with you and eat them room temperature. I like these because of the portability and that they have no added sugar.

ETA: While you’re here, would you mind telling me how to make banana nice cream? 😁 The Not-A-Cookies are from a WFPB meal prep service that we order from every few weeks. Ingredients are oats, dates, chickpea flour, walnuts, grapes, almond meal, vinegar, sunflower seeds, vanilla extract, cacao, spices, baking soda, baking powder. Your banana/oat cookies sound so good! Thanks for sharing the recipe. These are my two favorite nice cream recipes, both from Dr. Fuhrman’s site. I make it in my Vitamix, but a food processor does the job, too. Vanilla nice cream: 1/4 cup macadamias + 2 frozen bananas + 1/3 cup plant milk + 1 tsp vanilla Chocolate hazelnut: 1/3 cup hazelnuts + 2 frozen bananas + 2 T unsweetened, non-alkalized cocoa powder + 1/3 cup plant milk + 2 medjool or 4 regular dates, pitted You can use whatever kind of nuts you want In either recipe. I sometimes sub walnuts for macadamias in the first one. I like to sprinkle cacao nibs on the vanilla nice cream, and unsweetened shredded coconut on the chocolate hazelnut.

I am in SW United States and, thankfully, have good access to fresh produce. I started shopping at a farmer’s market after my diagnosis, at first because my sense of smell went into hyperdrive as part of the Parkinson’s (I am losing my sense of smell, some things I can’t smell at all while other smells gag me instantly). But now I shop there to get the freshest, widest variety of produce. I am also growing some my own food, such as goji berries. I started consuming at least one green smoothie a day last week. This morning’s contained frozen peaches and pineapple, kale from the farmer’s market, ginger and coconut water. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started shopping at a farmer’s market after my diagnosis, at first because my sense of smell went into hyperdrive as part of the Parkinson’s (I am losing my sense of smell, some things I can’t smell at all while other smells gag me instantly). But now I shop there to get the freshest, widest variety of produce. I am also growing some my own food, such as goji berries. I started consuming at least one green smoothie a day last week. This morning’s contained frozen peaches and pineapple, kale from the farmer’s market, ginger and coconut water. Your smoothie sounds delicious. I am so impressed that you are growing goji berries - that is cool! The only things I grow are microgreens (I have about 20 trays of them growing at any given time), sprouts, kale, lettuce, and herbs. I live way out in the country in a rural part of the midwest, and there are no good grocery stores nearby. The closest one is twenty minutes away and is pretty mediocre, with a produce section that is hit or miss. I mostly just get the basics there, like apples and bananas. There are a couple farmer's markets here during the summer, but they focus more on selling meat and baked goods than produce. So I've found that the best way to get the quality and quantity of produce that we need is to order from Misfits Market. We get two orders a week, four big boxes total. They have a good variety of organic produce that is reasonably priced, and a few other things that we like, like our favorite Hodo tofu. I also order from Chef's Garden every few weeks (which is pricey, but fits in our food budget since we don't eat at restaurants anymore, except once in a blue moon). I also use a lot of frozen fruits and veggies. Many of my breakfast fruits are frozen, like dragon fruit, passion fruit, cherries, pomegranate arils. We order a lot of our other staples online, too - like beans & legumes from Palouse and Rancho Gordo, and raw nuts and seeds and dried fruit from Nuts.com.

GoVanGogh Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Selkie, I am super impressed at you growing that many microgreens! I love growing them and am hoping to get a larger setup. We have a spot that would be perfect for a large shelving unit for microgreens, I just haven’t taken that step yet. Soon. Right now I grow them on our otherwise unused kitchen table. LOL Currently I am growing two red goji berries in the garden. I have some seedlings of black goji but they are a long way from ever producing. I have five types of pomegranate, 8 types of fig trees, 2 types of persimmon and some assorted other fruiting trees and shrubs, as well as blackberries and raspberries. I am trying to garden myself healthy or slow the progression. I feel your pain on rural Midwest. DH and I are from the rural Midwest and it is so hard to find fresh, healthy foods when we visit. The next time we go, I will likely take most of my food. I should look into Misfits Market. I see their truck around here. We are very fortunate to have a few really good grocery stores that stock a lot of organic items, plus year round farmer’s markets. A few of the vendors that I favor practice regenerative agriculture. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
