- Omelette with - eggs, cheddar cheese, mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, spinach, peas, green pepper, green chilli, tomatoes and shallots. Served with a serving of spiced quinoa pilaf or spiced cooked oats + other grains. We sometimes switch to making pancakes with chickpea flour with all of the veggies and cheese etc, on days we are not eating non-vegetarian meals.
- Fruits - bananas, apples, blueberries or clementine - with or without peanut butter.
- Homemade yogurt with dates, soaked nuts (walnuts and almonds), and a tablespoon of powdered seeds (roasted flaxseed, melon seed, pumpkin seed, sunflower, hemp, chia seeds)
- 2 kinds of tea - Green tea with blackstrap molasses (to keep iron levels up). And ginger tea with fennel and turmeric to fight infections.
I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm
