Wash your fruits and veggies! 

Even if organic, you should soak and wash your fruits and veggies very well. This is how the water looked like after soaking Organic Driscoll strawberries! Gross!! 

My Pancake Breakfast is a little high in calories (~400) coming mostly from the Bisquik mix (120 calories for 1/4 cup). I thought I might try crepes instead to save some calories and time. These crepes are 50 calories each. Haha maybe I can save a whopping 20 calories…

Crepe Breakfast: berries, 2 crepes, marmalade, greek yogurt, fiber one cereal (~300 calories) 

The Vegetables I got at Henry’s

  • Bell Peppers 
  • Celery
  • Green Beans 
  • Bok Choy
  • Cabbage 
  • Carrots
  • Red Onion

So glad my friend took me today! 

My Fruit corner of the apartment =) 

I went to Henry’s and got a little carried away! This should last me 2-3 weeks. I eat about 3 servings of fruit a day. I use fruit as my snacks and do not eat snacks like bars or granola, etc. 

  • Small Fuji Apples
  • Tangelos
  • Grapefruits (3 for 1$ WOWZA!) 
  • Red Grapes
  • Butternut Squash 
  • Avocado
