The Weekend
After a couple of weeks of travel, including last weekend, I really needed to reset my food habits this weekend. I began my Saturday by heading straight to Whole Foods and picking up a "Greens with Envy" cold pressed juice. I'm new to this juicing movement. I noticed a strawberry and watermelon juice a few weeks ago and put it on my mental list to buy later. I ended up with the "Greens with Envy" juice the next time I was in the store. It is made with Kale, Broccoli, Pineapple, Pear, Lemon, Parsley, Cucumber and Spinach and has a pleasant, sweet but not too sweet flavor. I figured this juice was what I needed to get me back on track for the weekend. Later I went to Trader Joe's and they had a Kale and Broccoli salad with Chicken. What's interesting is as I was reading the rest of the ingredients, consisting of cranberries and sunflower seeds, I realized this salad was meant for those focused on reducing inflammation. I am happy to find a couple of great veggie and anti-inflammation options to grab on the go. I ended my day with an authentic thai dinner with dishes such as lemongrass soup, curried pumpkin, papaya salad and drunken noodle. I felt confident that the variety of great ingredients and gluten-free menu would be good to my body. I did have some sweet treats through out the day, but with all of the nice anti-inflammatory foods eaten, I feel I've offset some of the impact.
