Hello! My name is Elsa, I live in a 13ft Scamp trailer
and today I'm going to show you what I ate throughout the day.
I start my morning with dates. I freaking love dates.
I've been able to buy them in bulk here in Arizona and I cannot get enough of them.
They're really sweet, kind of like a giant raisin but ... sweeter.
I cut them in half, take out the pit and then I put some almond butter on them.
So good.
And then for a little protein and omega-3s, I sprinkle on some chia seeds.
Then I top each of those with a slice of banana
and I am telling you
this is SO GOOD.
Next I drank some greens powder from Barron's cousin, Amber.
You can find a link to this down below if you're interested!
We love greens powder to supplement the nutrients we might be missing when we're traveling or
can't get into town for greens.
It's got spirulina, alfalfa, barley grass, wheat grass, spinach, kale and all kinds of other nutrients.
My morning meditative ritual is making cowboy coffee.
I use this little PocketRocket butane stove mostly for water boiling inside.
Cowboy coffee is a camping style of coffee making that requires the least amount of trash, tools and effort.
I bring my water close to boiling, add a few tablespoons of coffee and let it sit for four minutes.
Then, I pour it through a strainer and into my mug.
What happens is the boiling water makes the coffee grounds sink to the bottom.
You're supposed to pour cold water on top to make them all sink but here in the desert,
my water is pretty room-temperature, so I skip that step
and the strainer works just fine.
And now I'm gonna let Barron show you how he made his daily peanut butter sandwich.
Dave's bread is the best bread.
I'm eating both the heels because
Elsa won't eat them
and we only have two other pieces left.
I'll make the sacrifice it's okay.
Peanut butter, lots of peanut butter
because calories.
This almond butter we also got at the store that had out-of-date food.
It was like four dollars and this is normally a fifteen dollar can-o-almond butter.
-By the way, the store he's talking about here is a little shop
inside of a giant flea market that we found in the middle of the desert.
It's run by a grocery store liquidator that buys beat-up or recently expired foods
and sells them for cheap and this little shop happened to have a lot of
organic health food so we stocked up.
Some flaxseed because I heard that it's good for you.
Some chia, we got these and the flax from that expired food store too.
then seal it all in with some honey.
OOOOOH YEAAAAUUHHHHHH
Pretty fire.
I knew it would be.
Later in the day I also made a sandwich.
I spread some ghee on my bread. Ghee is non-dairy butter and it's really nice
because it doesn't have to be refrigerated.
I cut a tomato and an avocado
and added salt, pepper, cayenne and a little bit of lime.
Then spread some of my homemade hummus all over my toast,
put on the avocado,
tomato and topped that with sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
I added some more pepper and some nutritional yeast
and then topped that sandwich and it was freaking incredible.
We drink a good amount of water every day and something that helps me
remember to do so and makes it a little more enjoyable is to
squirt some lime or lemon into my water.
I think that's good for making your body more alkaline too?
It tastes really good.
Honey, I'm home!
(laughing with sass)
What did we get?
We got carrots,
oranges,
peppers for hummus,
lemon,
-Look at all those warm colors!
more Dave's Bread because it's the best bread,
and toe-nail clippers for you.
We are gonna go on a walk to the water!
Did you get sand in your face?
That's what happens when you do that!
You crazy!
For dinner I made a kale salad. I like to chop up whatever veggies
we have laying around and put them into the salad.
Today was tomato, shallot and bell pepper.
To make the dressing, I used the rest of my homemade hummus,
some olive oil,
a good squeeze of lemon
and three caps of apple cider vinegar
and then I gave that a stir.
Then I add some salt, cayenne, pepper and stir it all up.
The kale I'm using is dinosaur kale and I cut off the stem by
folding each leaf in half and cut it out, then chop up all the leaves into little pieces.
I massage the kale so it's tender and easier to chew and makes easier for
my body to assimilate.
I had all the ingredients to the bowl, stir it around
and then we eat!
Mmm! Yeah, that's really good!
Mmm-hmm!
I'm having one more date for dessert.
It's about 6:30pm right now
and it's time to go to bed!
Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video! Bye!
