Late lunch: salad with baked beet dressing (yum) followed by fruit salad. Even though that was plenty I seem to be in the habit of finishing off with an orange. I think I had a tangelo. Nothing seems as good as the small valencia oranges though. I was grocery shopping and the berries looked good even though they are from far away (Mexico, Chile) so that's where I got the idea to make a fruit salad. This had strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and a sliced banana. The strawberries were fantastic, and the blueberries were quite good too. Raspberries were good too. As were the bananas. So it was a good fruit salad.
Snack: I was experimenting with nut milks so I had a warm mug of nut milk with 2 tsp of date sugar and 2 tsp raw carob powder. It was yummy. Of course, I shouldn't be snacking on a regular basis and I usually don't so I think it's okay. Fuhrman recommends at least 90% compliance to his program and I think I achieved that this week.
Dinner: Gorgeous garlic greens soup. You have to pay $5 to get this recipe (along with 4 others) from Compassionate Cooks, and I recommend it because they are good. This is a good soup when you are sick (or anytime), and housemate has come down with a cold. I modified it a bit to Fuhrmanize it some more. It includes lots of greens, potatoes, onion, a head of garlic and a carrot. I put in even more greens, used part white and part sweet potatoes (housemate likes white potatoes so I didn't go all sweet potato), and in another pot I cooked up some zucchini and leek and then blended that up and added it (just because it was there, in the fridge). And I cooked up a cup of lima beans (1/2 cup dried) and added that. And I used Dr. Fuhrman's pomagranate balsamic vinegar instead of seasoned rice vinegar (which has salt). That was good. And I added some dulse and some celery, so that has some sodium in it but not too much. It turned out quite good. I ate two large bowls and followed this with two (smallish) valencia oranges. These valencia oranges we're getting are soooo goood. Anyway, I did overeat. I notice if I snack, it leads to overeating. I basically just don't stop eating. But it was a lot of liquid so hopefully will pass through quickly. Uh-oh, I'll probably wake up a lot to pee tonight.
