5km run and a juice boost

I had a 5km run in preparation for a 10km run at the weekend. I loved it and had enough energy. Stopped for petrol on way home and bought a juice boost – even better that it was reduced in price!

Decided to try and use my saved chickpea water. My daughter and I made meringues and although flat and sticky, I mixed half with almond powder and it was the closest I could get to macaroons!

This is what I have eaten today –

Breakfast:

• Rolled raw oats
• Soya milk
• 1 tbsp Linwoods flaxseed, almonds, brazil nuts, walnuts and CoEnzyme Q10 mix
• Coconut yoghurt (really delicious one I found at Sainsbury)
• Handful blueberries
• Tic toc redbush earl grey tea (my favourite) with soya milk
• 1 vitamin D tablet (taken them all through winter so will only stop in the summer)
• 1 hrt tablet (keeps my hormones in check!)

Mid – morning snack:

• 1 boost juice drink
• Green Smoothie made of kale, baby spinach, soya milk and banana all blended together in a Breville blender – the ripe banana gives the creamy flavour. I keep the woody bits of kale for our 2 guinea pigs!
• Cup of tea with Soya milk

Lunch:

• Salad of lettuce, rocket, baby tomatoes, pine nuts, brown rice, malt vinegar and olive oil
• 1 carrot and humus
• 1 bowl salted popcorn
•  Blueberries

Mid-afternoon:

• 1 apple eaten in the car on way to fetch my daughter from school
• Quite a lot of blended chickpea water, icing sugar and crushed almond – delicious!

I then made bolognaise using veggie a vegan mince – it has a really good texture and taste

Dinner:

• Veggie mince mixed with onions, red pepper, tomato tin, veg stock cube, some garlic and tomato sauce from jar served with basil and spaghetti as shown in the photo
• Sugar snap peas
• 1 satsuma
• Alpro yoghurt
• 1 passion fruit
• Cup mint tea to settle my very bubbly tummy!
