Strawberry Spirulina Protein Shake

Spaghetti Squash Adventure

I just took it out of the oven and am in the process of separating the rind and seasoning it. To be continued!..

 

I decided to make a sauce to go with it using tomato puree, parsley, green onions, shrimp, crushed red pepper, garlic and veggie broth. I sautéed the garlic/veggie broth/ green onions with the shrimp, then added the spices and tomato puree all together. It was PHENOMENAL… Behold:

 

Using spaghetti squash as actual spaghetti noodles have made me not ever want to eat regular noodles again!

Breakfast on the skillet & The finished product

 

 

The herbal coffee tasted different from the average cup of joe. The Chocolatey-Minty Flavor help make it palatable. And it has about 6 g of protein from the whey powder, which was kind of nice.  ~_o

Herbal Coffee provides no energy boost whatsoever. I think I’ll try drinking organic tea. Or maybe even organic *coffee.* Caffeine is prohibited though, as it works the liver too hard and distracts the liver from burning/ metabolizing the fat. Herbal coffee and tea it is.

 

——————————————————————–

 

Behold:

Not the most delicious juice, but not terrible either. I prefer *eating* the fruit. The juice is more effective, as they say. It’s still considered a carb-y fruit, so it’s not entirely FFP-Friendly. I’m having it in small, limited amounts, I hope that will be okay.

 

 

And now to prepare dinner. I am very tired. It might be because I didn’t get enough sleep yesterday from sleeping late + waking up intermittently from taking care of River. I miss coffee. I’m starting to miss cheese. I miss chocolate.

———————————————

Meet my dinner, smiling up at me. Not bad. I was satisfied.
