If you didn't win a BIC Band this time around, don't worry, I'll probably end up giving away another one eventually. Or, give one a try yourself! They're great quality and a portion of every band sold goes to charity.
Also, I just noticed these awesome sporty bands! What a great gift for an athlete you might know.
This week I'm working hard at incorporating more spinach in my meals. Why? Because its so amazingly good for you! Plus, I need to make sure I'm fueling my body with plenty of nutrients for my challenge!
Eric and I went to Trader Joe's last night and I picked up this guy for only $1.99!
That's definitely cheaper than a Big Mac
This morning I decided to combine jalapeños, red bell pepper, spinach and 2 eggs to make a veggie scramble.
For the record, yes I used canned red bell pepper which is a "no no" to many clean eaters but here's my thing:
1. It's what I had on hand
2. 210mg of salt for the entire can is not that bad; It's not like I'm licking salt from a can by any means
3. It's better than eating this for breakfast:
Sidenote - did you know that those tempting, devilish pastries found at SBucks and Coffee Bean are usually loaded with salt? Just sayin'
Here's my creation

Where did all that spinach go?
I wish I would have added even more spinach but it definitely did the job of filling me up. That's always the biggest test: do I feel like I had an actual meal, or was that just an appetizer?
Do you each spinach at all? How do you sneak in your greens?
I love spinach! We also use spinach in our veggie scrambles. Some nights I serve spinach salads w/ our dinners- throw in some feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, and almonds, a bit of Papaya Seed dressing = yumminess!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried it in a smoothie, yet? I hear "green" smoothies are very delicious =)
