Breakfast:
Usually I have a green smoothie, but after going out for coffee after my early morning swim, I was ravenous by the time I got home. A bowl of this blue museli with banana and soy milk it was. Oh baby!
Lunch:
This soup from Forks Over Knives is one of my faves. Simple, wholesome and SO yummy! I also threw in 3 celery sticks and 2-3 handfuls of baby spinach. And the best news is, there's plenty left for this week's lunches.
