Better late than...

Oh boy. Late start to the day today. The unfortunate happening of taking muscle relaxants too late at night made it extremely difficult to get out of bed this morning. Lesson learned on that one! Even though my first chance to eat wasn't until after noon, breakfast still sounded good to me.

Enter waffles! I'm out of yogurt, so today's waffle toppings are applesauce, granola, and 1/2 banana. Cinnamon would have been delicious on these too, but I didn't think to add it until about... now. Oops! Add this with my OJ with a touch of protein powder and my morning tea and good to go now.


So this is yesterday's little green-but-not-green smoothie! I think I've about nailed down what I like best here. So here goes!

Green-but-not-green delight
1 handful spinach
3 big frozen strawberries
1 handful frozen blueberries
1/2 banana
1/3-ish cup of silken tofu (or plain yogurt)
3/4 scoop protein powder
Big drizzle of agave nectar
Little bit of water

I could easily sub out the mango for an extra strawberry and be fine. This was great! No OJ this time, but I found it's not needed if I just get enough water in there so my blender is happy. I'm pretty sure that even without the tofu or yogurt this'd be good too - I'd just have to make sure that I'm balancing the texture right with other ingredients.

Had some recipe failure last night so nothing else new foodwise until I can get back into the kitchen for more experiments. Trying new things isn't always perfect the first time!
