So in the quest for decaf I bought some Starbuck decaf. I am liking it. However someone did mention a little tidbit of info that I had not been thinking about. Starbucks decaf may not be as decaffeinated as other brands. She has a point. We will eventually use up all of this and have to try a more reasonably priced variety.
My other new treat for breakfast is apples. Here I go through all this hassle to try to create a shake or smoothie or juice or something for breakfast. But then I read somewhere that apples have a great array of nutrients to start off your day. So I decided earlier this week to give it a try. Here's my secret...
Cut the apple into thin slices. I know I usually eat the apple right off the core. It gives a great sense of satisfaction while eating. Save that for the afternoon snack. And when I say thin, I mean thin. Quarter inch slices perhaps...
Arrange nicely on a plate - there is something to be said for presentation.
Sprinkle with cinamon... Do the reading on cinamon, it has a lot of great qualities.
Sprinkle with some ground flax seed... This will give you some added fiber (like there wasnt enough in the apple), a little bit of healthy fat and oil, hint of a nutty taste, and a slight dry carbish type feel on some slices. If you dont understand that last reference, sorry, it is definitely i something I find comforting in the carb family.
EAT SLOWLY with a large bottle of water.
It is very satisfying.
When I start adding more proteins back into the diet I may have to change this up a bit. I will address that later. Now off to make some more work phone calls. Yes, on a Saturday :) or :(
