Day Five

I ran 5.3km this morning! I haven't done that for almost two months, so I'm glad I've still got it. There's a local 5km fun run on Australia Day that I'm thinking of going in, so I wanted to be sure I could actually still run 5km.

Breakfast: Chocolate banana nut ice cream. Ice cream for breakfast you say? Yup! There's no sugar (just a little agave nectar), no dairy, and it's full of bananas and nuts... Plus, it's really, really yummy!

I had to share with the little miss - she likes it too, and I don't feel like a bad mummy giving it to her.

Morning tea: Boiled egg. Some strawberries and dates while out at the library with the kids. I was starving when we got home so I also had a choc mint ball.

Lunch: More raw pasta sauce over spelt spaghetti.

Afternoon tea: A couple of squares of casheroo and some strawberries.

Tea: Homemade hamburgers. I made the buns using spelt flour and wholemeal flour. They turned out really well, a really tasty bread.

The burgers I ground up some meat to make mince, added some onion, garlic, parsley, tamari and a bunch of random spices in my spice rack (from memory I used onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, smoked paprika and celery salt). I had lettuce, tomato, cucumber, grated carrot and some rings of salad onion on mine. I tell you though, I was eyeing off the melted cheese on the kids burgers!

Dessert/Night time snack: A few small bits of disappointing pineapple. A few pieces of chocolate (gasp!) - well, sort of chocolate. It's raw chocolate made from coconut oil, raw cacao powder and agave nectar. I have to keep it in the freezer, cause it melts otherwise. It sort of tastes like chocolate I guess - I like the ones I made with added coconut better than the plain ones. And to finish the day - a cup of chai tea with almond milk.
