Hi everyone. Spring is finally here and I hope we continue to see nice weather like we have the last few weeks. It’s time for a menu change so you'll see fewer soups on the menu in the coming months to accommodate the changing weather. I can eat soup year-round, but no one else in my house feels the same way 😀
I mentioned last month how I’ve added Intermittent Fasting (IF) to my weekly health regimen. I am happy with the progress in the way I eat. Sometime this year I plan to share photos to show my weight when I started last summer and my weight loss to date.
Since I did so well with the IF 16/8 method, (daily fast for 16 hours and eat within an 8-hour window) last week I started the 18/6 method. It’s interesting how I'm learning a lot about myself and how my body reacts. Now let's move on and see what’s on the menu:
Breakfast-
Smoothie Packs- continue having these twice a week using 2 different gallon size Ziploc bags to keep added fruit portions frozen in the freezer.
* This next list of breakfast meals will be eaten 3 times during each week.
Week 1: Steel Cut Oats (Topped with banana slices, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and Chia seeds)
Week 2: Keto Crustless Ham Quiche (I used Asparagus served with roasted sweet potatoes, and fruit)
