Day Three

I went for a run this morning. It was bloody hard work, let me tell you! Getting your fitness back up after a few weeks off is not easy. I pushed myself though, and ran 4.1km. I'm definitely slower than I once was, but I'll get there.

Breakfast: I had some raw creamy strawberry pudding that I frozen in the freezer from awhile ago, so I chopped it up into smaller pieces and whizzed it up in the thermomix. It turned out like ice cream, so I essentially had (healthy) strawberry ice cream for breakfast!

Morning tea: An apricot and a casheroo bar. Nom nom nom.

Lunch: I snacked on blueberries while I made lunch. I didn't really have anything planned for lunch, so I had a look through the fridge. In our hilbarn (fruit and veg) box this week we got some golden squash. I have never cooked with or eaten these before, so I did a quick google and found a few summer soup recipes... I kind of, sort of, not really followed this recipe, but I used salad onion instead of shallots, added garlic and a carrot and left out the corn, lemon juice and fetta. I just used whatever I had in the fridge and garden basically! It turned out okay - nothing extraordinary, but it was nice enough.

Afternoon tea: Two choc mint balls, some carrot sticks with zucchini hummus and a mouthful of the banana smoothie I made for the kids (made using an overripe banana and almond milk). A cup of chai tea with almond milk when my dad came to visit.

Dinner: Raw pasta sauce over spelt spaghetti. Yum! I do love this recipe. I'm also rather pleased that the kids both liked it and ate quite a big portion of their tea.

Dessert/Night snack: Straight after tea I had a couple of slices of watermelon with the kids. Once the kids were both in bed I had a cup of chai tea with almond milk, some casheroo bar, a choc mint ball and some blueberries.
