--put some POMEGRANATE seeds in your oats (or protein pudding) These are so cool. I buy them from TRADER JOES, they're removed from the fruit itself and packaged for you. 1 serving has 70cals and 12g sugar. and thats 1/2cup seeds....which is a LOT. I use 1-2 teaspoons in my oats for garnish.--make a PINK smoothie for your post-workout refuel: 10 oz water, 1scoop (or 2) vanilla protein powder, 1/2 cup frozen or fresh strawberries, 1/2cup frozen or fresh raspberries, ice. (or 1/2 banana and 1/2cup berries of your choice)
--Steamed BEETS and tofu over spinach, add whatever veggies you like (hey, what about some red bell peppers?!) if you mush the beets and tofu together, the tofu turns pinky-magenta, it's really pretty!
---if someone wants to buy you chocolate, or DOES give you chocolate, DARK is the way to go. 1 ounce of 70-85% dark chocolate can actually be GOOD for you as a source of healthy fat and anti-oxidants (good for your bloodstream.) Green & Blacks makes individual 1 ounce bars! 1 bar is 190 cals, 14g fat, and less than 10g sugar. OH, AND dark chocolate has FIBER! So, if someone gives you a chocolate heart box, appreciate it and reward them for it (read that as you will....) but its not worth it!!! Gross, cheap milk chocolate with caramel mush or processed coconut filling are NOT worth it. Treat yourself to an amazing piece of dark chocolate if you're really in the V-day spirit. Encourage your valentine to do the same!
I won't be eating any dark chocolate tomorrow...but i will definitely be enjoying some pom seeds and steamed beets (just because they're part of my meals this week, and are awesome.)
Hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's day. And if you're like me, remember that not being in a relationship just means you get more time to focus on yourself and LOVE yourself! That's the most important relationship anyone can have. Love thyself.
Peace out
