I made some green juice earlier for lunch. I forgot how yummy it was.
2 bunchs of kale
2 green apples
4 celery stalks
1 cucumber
1/2 lemon
I drank it and then drove with Justin to work. The Shops at Wailea is 3.2 miles from our apartment. I walk/ran home! I ran 1.2 miles of the trek. Walked the rest. Towards the end the outside of my thighs were KILLING me. The massage therapist I saw awhile back said it was potassium buildup, and that I need to stretch and hydrate more. Or maybe the pain was the fat burning away? Lol, a girl can hope, right?
Yesterday, I saw a facebook post from a friend of mine, Chelsea. She had taken the pulp from her green juice and formed it into patties and made a burger out of it. I HAD to try this.
I grabbed my veggies out of the fridge from earlier today and mixed them with an egg. I formed two of them into patties and dropped them in the George Foreman. I got a little ahead of myself, and opened it too soon. This is what I saw:
Oops. So I scraped the top back onto the bottoms and cooked them for another few minutes.
When I thought they were nice and brown, I pulled them off, and threw a corn tortilla in a little bit of olive oil on the stove. For now, I've given up on all kinds of bread, gluten-free or otherwise, until I can figure out why its making me sick.
I put a piece of colby jack on the patty, topped it with teriyaki sauce, and tucked it inside the crispy corn tortilla. You guys, it was yummy!! :)
When I texted Justin, he let me know that I was going to poop myself, since the veggies is pure fiber. Haha, thanks hunny.
Yesterday, I tried out a new pinterest recipe that I found. It was for bruschetta chicken. Also pretty good. Half the pan was 8 weight watchers points. The recipe did call for the chicken to be coated in flour. I think next time I'll skip it, or maybe use something else. Another pinner suggest using crushed nuts or something of that nature. I think that would be yummy too, and would make it gluten-free.
You can find the recipe here. Also, marinating the chicken beforehand is a MUST. Otherwise you have bland chicken with yummy bruschetta on top. :)
