I’ve mentioned before that eating well, and I encourage a plant-based diet, is helpful for recovery. I’m not really a food pictures guy or a cook and I like things simple.

The other day, I shared my oatmeal breakfast recipe, the closest thing to Super Food if such a thing actually existed. Now for my typical smoothie recipe which some people have called, “earthy.” I have a smoothie like this every couple days.

In a large blender, I include the following:

1-2 frozen banana
1.5 cups Mixed Berry Blend
1 small frozen beet
1/2 frozen avocado
1 cup frozen carrots or broccoli and carrots
1 cup mixed greens (kale, spinach, chard, and other stuff)
1tbsp Chia seeds
1tbsp Flax seeds
2tbsp Hemp seeds
Small piece of ginger

For liquid, I usually use a home made tea blend (hibiscus, white tea, green tea, red tea)  with a little bit of pomegranate juice.

This mix is usually split mostly in half and shared with my wife.

Honestly, I think the super food idea is marketing junk. However, if super foods could be a real thing, my oatmeal breakfast should qualify.

Eating healthy is good for physical, mental and spiritual wellness. I like to make my first meal energy and fibre packed. So this is my oatmeal:

This is what I put together. (For measurements, I went imperial for the comfort and safety of my American friends.)

1/3c   Oatmeal (obviously)
1/3c   Raisons
1tbs  Chia seeds
1tbs  Flax seeds
1tbs  Pumpkin seeds
2tbs Hemp seeds

Sometimes I also include cut up dried apricot.

Normally, I just add boiling water, stir it up, and enjoy. Sometimes after the gym I stop by Starbucks and get a large green tea and then I use that instead of plain water. Yes, it makes it taste a little weird but not in a horrible way.

Wow! This is an awesome post. Well worth the time. 
Well, in case you didn’t know, it’s “Body Positivity Week.” Yep, thanks to BuzzFeed, we’re being bombarded with full-frontal content about Forget-You-I-Love-My-Curves, and NGAFudge-ing about what anyone thinks about our cellulite, and Dag-Nabit I’m wearing a bikini if I want to, and how dare you body shame me. It’s actually kind of ironic how it’s […]
