Week 2: Healthy Eating Contest: Mood Food.

Protein shake with strawberries and chia.  Needed a boost for after workout.  I use chia seeds in fruit/veggie smoothies as well.  

Using boxed high protein pancake mix I added flax seed, walnuts and cinnamon. OMG sooo good.

Also added almonds to my salad lightly coated with almond oil and vinegar

Chia seeds in my spinach-kale smoothie

mapl, Apple cider vinegar salmon with steamed green beans and rice. Didn’t see this contest until after I ate, so no picture. 

Salmon for dinner last night.

Walnuts and a little dark chocolate make a great snack.

Added chia seed and flax meal to seafood salad sandwich. Tasty and good for my health.

Enhanced yogurt "parfait", with omega-3 foods.

Usually I just dump fruit & flax into my yogurt, but today I was inspired. Includes non-dairy coconut yogurt, mixed with chia seeds, layered with ground flax seeds & granola, fresh blueberries, strawberries, mango chunks. I ran out of walnuts, so topped with slivered almonds for some crunch.

If I had planned better, would've strained the yogurt overnight so it would be thicker; as is, it kind of ran together, so the layers aren't visible.

Still delicious!

I am trying to turn over a new leaf by eating better.  Here I have for lunch a Marble-Jack cheese wrap with pepperoni, mayo, and trilogy (flax, chia, hemp seeds).  I also like using the Parmesan cheese wraps.
