Healing leaky gut: day 15

I'm halfway through the tough part of this project! It actually feels wonderful! I crave coffee and chocolate and now it won't be long before I get to introduce this into my diet again. I'm really looking forward to it! Today there has been some really good food on the menu. If every day looks like this, I have no problem whatsoever in continuing to eat this way. The food is both beautiful to look at, tastes amazing and is healthy! And on top of that, I feel great:-)


Breakfast

Exotic Smoothie with Blueberries


Snacks

Herb meatballs


Lunch

Banana porridge with fried apples, raspberries and kiwi

Ingredients

1 banana

1 apple

10 raspberries

1 kiwi

1 pinch of sea salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1 teaspoon cardamom

2 tbsp butter

1 tsp honey

Instructions

Cut the apple into small pieces, fry in the butter for about 10 minutes, add the cardamom and honey. Mix well.

Peel and cut the kiwi into small pieces.

Peel and mash the banana in a large deep bowl, add the sea salt and cinnamon.

Mix the apple into the banana puree. Top with raspberries and kiwi. Enjoy!

Super good! Super useful! Super easy!


Dinner

Pad Thai with chicken

Ingredients

800 gr chicken fillet

5 tbsp olive oil

8 cloves of garlic

6 tbsp fish sauce

6 tbsp juice from lime

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

8 tbsp fresh coriander

6 spring onions or 1 leek

1 broccoli

3 carrots

Instructions

Cut the chicken into small pieces and chop the garlic.

Fry the garlic in the oil for about 1 minute, then add the chicken. Fry until the chicken is colored, about 5 minutes. Add the fish sauce, lime and apple cider vinegar. Cook for about 5 minutes. Chop the onions into small pieces, cut the carrots into thin sticks and the broccoli into small florets. Add the vegetables and cook for about 10 minutes. Add the coriander towards the end. Enjoy!

Yum, it was delicious! Everyone ate and wanted more. Good thing David wasn't home, or there wouldn't have been food left over for tomorrow's lunch boxes:-)

  • Healing leaky gut: day 18

    I know I'm getting bored and monotonous with my breakfasts, but for the past year I've been drinking smoothies every morning and it's hard to let go of the good habit. I feel like it's good for me and I think it's delicious! The difference now is that I don't use dairy, coconut or soy products in my smoothies. Cold tea works just fine as a substitute!

  • Healing leaky gut: day 17

    Another day off, but today with a much more energetic son. He got to help with the cooking, which he usually thinks is super fun. He's going to be a chef when he grows up, he says.

    I decided to go for a walk when my husband finally came home in the evening, unfortunately I felt my bad hip halfway up the hill. I haven't felt it for a long time and I am always so disappointed when it hurts like that. I hope the pain is gone tomorrow when I wake up.

  • Healing leaky gut: day 16

    It was a day off today. My son is feeling unwell. Good thing I had leftovers in the fridge. For dinner, I managed to make a very tasty and easy salmon with mango salsa. I'm hoping for a speedy recovery, have boosted him with probiotics, fresh fruit (kiwi and oranges) and tea and manuka honey. It should work wonders!

  • Healing leaky gut: day 14

    New week, new opportunities. An intense and busy week ahead, so I'm so glad my energy is back, because I need it more than ever right now. I'm also very happy that I've gotten into new cooking routines including action and planning.

  • Healing leaky gut: days 12 and 13

    What a great day it was! We were spontaneously invited to good friends and she is a master in the kitchen! Dinner was a delight as always when she cooks authentic Pakistani food from scratch. The food is not spicy, but tasty. We had a busy Saturday, so leftovers were the basis for lunch. That castle steak never ends...

  • Healing leaky gut: day 11

    Two steps forward, one step back...Today I have been extremely tired, despite a very good night's sleep the last few nights. It was so bad that I had ½ cup of espresso after lunch. That didn't help, so I took a nap with my youngest daughter in the afternoon. It's all about listening to your body and trying to understand what it's telling you. Listening and being responsive to your body's signals will take you far. Next week I hope to have time to describe what leaky gut is and how I know that this diet I am now eating will help me feel better. Happy weekend to all of you out there in the real world!
