Must.Listen.To.Our.Bodies.

I was rather nauseous all day yesterday - lack of sleep and feeling quite sluggish.  Chewable food was out of the question.

Needed something filling to hold me through football practice and I came up with a rather delicious combination.

Pineapple Pumpkin Smoothie

1/2 cup frozen pumpkin (you can use fresh - I had pre-split & frozen mine awhile back)
1/2 cup frozen pineapple
1 cup almond milk
100g of Liberty Greek Pineapple yogurt
1.5 tsp cinnamon
Ice (if not using frozen fruit)

This combo was truly delicious and kept me full.  The pumpkin (great for settling stomachs) also allowed me to take in at least some solid food when I got home.

St.Methode Bread, Peanut Butter, Flax Seeds, Dates
 
It did the trick - stomach is much better this morning although headaches have moved in.  No need to worry, I have absolutely NO doubt it's caused by the punishment I put my body through last week in making poor food choices.  Day 2 of now eating properly - can't wait to see and feel the results.

Here's a bonus recipe for you today.  Another go-to for me!  Enjoy!

Sunshine Colada

1 cup of Stash Ginger Lemon tea, cooled
1 orange
100g of Liberty Coconut Greek Yogurt
1.5 inches fresh ginger
Lotsa ice :-)

This is really refreshing and the ginger gives it such a nice kick.

Going to rest up a bit today - another packed week ahead so will grab some time when I can.  Must.Listen.To.Our.Bodies.

Happy blendin' everyone - be kind to yourself and others xo
