Trust you're all fantastic๐. So who doesn't love bread? I am unashamedly a bread lover even with my change to eating healthier it's been a huge battle to leave it out of my food๐. But alas from the day we started the 7 day challenge I have stayed off bread until yesterday when I had 1 slice with homemade peanut butter and unsalted butter. Oooooooh did it feel good. Now as I have lost some weight I felt I needed the reward( uh huh make myself feel good abi and be justifying the bread eating; mega eye rolling)
So this morning I had my veggie wheat pasta mix with was yummy and then at 11am I started dreaming of bread and I'm like oh boy this is not good at allllllllll๐. Now whenever I have a craving I try and resist and sometimes succeed for up to a week and then I'm like ok give in but donut sensibly๐๐๐๐
So how do you eat bread healthy? There are many options; you can bake your own bread with the variety of healthier flours out there(bread making is still the one thing I haven't gotten around to doing cause the process just seems sooooo long and this is coming from someone who's mum used to bake bread! Shameful! ๐)
You can also eat something healthy with the bread; home made peanut butter, a salad, boneless chicken breasts grilled or pan fried, lean cuts of meat if you're a meat lover, eggs boiled, poached or fried with vegetables, the options are endless.
I made a salad with rocket, lettuce, spring onions, carrots, cabbage, parsley, basil, almonds, goji berries, toasted sesame seeds and today I also made a dressing which had half a tablespoon each of fresh orange juice, sesame oil, coconut oil, black pepper to taste, pink Himalayan salt, ground dried yellow pepper and honey.
Might not do bread again in a while but this sure hit the spot๐๐๐๐๐๐
Enjoy a blessings filled week ahead.
Errrrrr did I forget to say that I grated a bit of ginger and garlic into the dressing?
