- Good morning health nuts.
Welcome back to my channel.
I'm not wearing a mic so hopefully it's not too echo-y
but today I wanted to do a what I eat in a day video.
But just like real style, real lifestyle.
So, I asked you guys on Instagram stories to see what
you guys wanted to see and you guys requested
a what I eat in a day video so today
I'm basically just doing a normal work day.
I didn't even plan out what meals I'm making today
just because most days I don't so
unless I'm like meal prepped or something.
I have stuff in the fridge but I haven't really meal prepped
this week and a lot of you guys have asked just to see
my every day real life (clears throat) approach,
even with the frog voice.
Let's just get started and you guys can just see
what I eat throughout the day and hopefully this style
is interesting and let me know what you guys think.
It's 8:22 guys.
Usually, I would have had my coffee by now but I had to
set up the lights so...
Yeah, youtuber problems.
Let's get started.
Gotta get some lemons.
So, you guys have seen me do this many times before
in my morning routine videos.
But I love making lemon and ginger water in the morning.
And I just take my ginger root and I'll grate it on
just a really fine grater and I will juice some lemon
into a glass and then for the ginger,
all I do is just squeeze the pulp in between my fingers
and it just squeezes out all the juice.
It's a really quick and easy hack to get ginger juice
and then I'll just fill it with some water.
I'm really wanting to get a filtered water system
but right now we use our tap.
And then just add some warm water from the kettle
and drink it down.
I usually will drink it through a straw but I just didn't
for some reason on this day.
But yeah, I love starting my day with this
it's so energizing and cleansing to the body,
I really enjoy it.
And then I'm boiling some water for my herbal coffee.
I realized a few months ago that I really do start my day
with mostly liquids up until noon but that's just
what I feel works really best with my body.
To a mug I'm adding in an tablespoon of my herbal coffee,
a little bit of coconut sugar, some collagen,
topping it up with some boiling water, giving it a stir,
and then just topping it off with some nut milk.
P.S. I love this mug that my friend Ashley got me.
She always gets me the cutest things.
I'll usually just sip on it, check Instagram,
all that social media stuff.
All right, so I'm just gonna go chill out on the couch,
finish drinking my herbal coffee while I do some emails.
I have to review a video that's actually going live today.
It's my relationship Q&A video with Mr. Matt.
So, I'm just gonna chill.
Usually I just like start my morning with a lot of liquids.
Like I said, I don't really know what I'm eating today
so this is fun and way less prep work guys because I am not
a planner so I really like this style.
Mm.
Great, I'm all showered up.
I just did some really light makeup because to be honest
I don't really wear much makeup during the day.
I really just do like brows, a little mascara,
and a little bit of powder, but I am actually hungry now.
I got caught up with emails and reviewing some videos
and it's 10:00 o'clock now.
I usually don't wait this late to eat breakfast
but some days that's just the case.
I think I'm gonna make some oatmeal.
All right, I have some oats, I have some blubes,
and I think I'm just gonna make a basic oatmeal recipe.
By the way, I love these containers.
It's so easy to organize all your grains.
I think I'm just gonna cook up some oatmeal,
probably put some almond butter on it
and that's kind of what I'm craving today.
Maybe some like superfoods on it like chia seeds
and sunflower seeds and all that.
To the stove.
So I'm starting off with a pot of water,
bringing that to a boil with just a pinch of sea salt.
While I'm waiting for the water to boil,
I'm just having some cashews.
I do this all the time.
I have a bin here for just raw cashews and I snack on them
throughout the day when I'm hungry.
So I probably eat a lot of nuts in fact during in one day
but they keep me from getting hangry.
Mm.
So good.
And I'm always drinking lots and lots of water.
Mm.
So, I'm scooping up some rolled oats into my pot of water
boiling with some sea salt.
I like to boil my water first before adding in the oats
giving it a quick stir.
Adding in a little nut milk and some frozen ripe banana.
This is my best secret for the best oatmeal and it just
gets really creamy when it cooks down.
I'm transferring it to a bowl.
And then adding in some fresh blueberries, sunflower seeds,
cinnamon, or what I thought was cinnamon.
Big scoop of almond butter.
I just realized I put pumpkin spice instead of cinnamon.
Oh well.
And there you have it, a delicious morning oatmeal,
so hearty and delicious.
I feel like oatmeal is all about the toppings so I really
like to load mine up.
I totally forgot, I'm gonna put some honey on it as well.
Just for a lot extra sweetness.
Perfect oats, mm.
All right, I'm gonna go eat this while I do some more work.
I have to do a video outline
for a sponsored video I'm doing.
I don't know if I can say it but I guess I can.
I'm working with Bob's Red Mill
so I'm just working on that video.
It's gonna be really really cute.
And I'm excited for you guys to see it.
So, I'm gonna go eat this big bowl of oats here
and I'll see you guys for snack time.
Because I'm, oh wait no, lunch is next.
I don't think I'll have a snack today.
All right, it's lunch time.
Actually, it's a very late lunch.
I'm eating at really weird times today.
It is 2:30 and I'm having lunch now.
I just got sucked into working on getting
a new video up today.
It's basically done, I did the thumbnail and everything.
And now I'm hungry and I'm gonna make some food.
So, I was kind of thinking about what I wanted for lunch
while I was editing the thumbnail
and I'm thinking avocado toast with an egg.
Sometimes I like having breakfast.
No, a lot of times I like having breakfast for lunch.
So I'm thinking that and then just for some extra greens
and veg I'm thinking some sauteed asparagus on the side.
Because we got a huge thing from Costco
and we have to use it up so I think that's the plan.
I'll show you guys what's in the fridge.
Maybe I'll add something else to it.
Um, but yeah, the fridge is kind of messy
but we'll bring you guys along.
Let me take you out the tripod.
All right, this is what the fridge looks like right now.
I've been recipe testing a bunch of stuff
so it's a little bit messy.
Let's see, this is the big asparagus
thing I have from Costco.
Put that aside and I have some eggs there.
So I'm gonna grab some eggs.
Oh, there are mushrooms in here.
Maybe I'll do that as well.
Oh, and I need some bread.
And I have an avocado here.
This avocado is perfectly ripe so we'll use that too.
Oh yeah, add that to the pile.
So, we have asparagus, some mushroom.
I guess I'm just gonna saute some stuff.
Am I cut off?
Oh...
Okay.
No mushrooms.
Look at how, I'll show you how wrinkly these are.
Whoo.
I'm sorry mushrooms.
I tried to use you.
So I'm just gonna take like a handful.
Even less actually.
You know what?
I'm hungry but I'm not starving.
I don't know,
I think just because I'm sitting on the couch all day.
All right, so I'm gonna take a couple.
I think just one slice since they're pretty big.
Okay, I'm gonna go grab a couple eggs,
we'll chop everything up and we'll cook it.
This is like a really quick easy lunch recipe.
So, and that's what usually my lunches are
when I work from home.
It's either leftovers or breakfast for lunch.
Or a salad.
So I just washed and dried my asparagus.
And then I'm just snapping off the ends of my asparagus
because they're usually a little bit more woody.
Cutting open my avocado which is perfectly ripe.
Which I always love.
By now, I feel like I'm pretty good at guessing
when an avocado is ready to open.
I'm frying up a sunny side egg on the stove with some
salt and pepper.
And then on my toast I'm just mashing up some avocado,
seasoning it with some salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast.
And then plopping on my fried egg.
Adding on some sauteed asparagus on the side
and then crumbling on some feta cheese which was delicious.
Highly recommend it.
And there you have it.
Breakfast, I mean lunch, is served.
Is it weird that I would eat breakfast all day every day?
Mm.
I'm gonna finish eating this and then I have to go
to the grocery store.
I think I just talked to Matt and I think we might do sushi
tonight because it's technically Valentine's Day.
And I don't know if I feel like cooking tonight so.
I think it might be sushi for dinner tonight.
All right, so I'm coming from the market.
I got some groceries.
Although, as I mentioned,
we're actually not making dinner tonight.
We're gonna pick up some sushi.
This is basically just for some recipes I'm testing
for the channel.
I got some seeds, I got flax.
I got Brazilian nuts, banana chips,
and pepitas or pumpkin seeds.
I'm actually gonna snack on some of this right now.
Mm.
You want to see what those look like?
Oops.
These are really good.
Let's hide those.
Some licorice for Matt.
Some cheese.
Some olives.
I love going to the Saint Lawrence market in Toronto
because you can get like,
it's like a farmer's market but indoors.
I got some great organic celery and romaine for so cheap.
They were like two bucks each.
And some kale so I'm gonna pop these into the fridge.
Okay, so I got some apples.
I'm thinking just as a snack before dinner I'm probably
just have one of these with some peanut butter.
The best peanut butter is from Bulk Barn.
It's so good.
It's like salty and has like a little bit of sea salt.
I think I'm just gonna have a golden delicious.
I feel like, I don't know, I'm really into these right now.
I think they're underrated.
I'm just chopping up some golden delicious apples
which I've been loving lately.
Adding on some cinnamon for some sugar balancing goodness.
And a big dollop of peanut butter.
I like to switch up my nut butter so I'm not eating
the same thing every day.
And this is just my go to afternoon snack.
I love it.
So, I'm just gonna snack on this while I wait for Matt.
Mm.
I usually try to drink about two of these a day.
Just to make sure I stay super hydrated.
All right, so, we just got home.
We went to Costco,
or Matt went to Costco and then he came
and picked me up and we went to pick up sushi.
So, sometimes on busy work days.
I wouldn't say all the time.
How many times do you think we order food?
Like once, if that?
- [Matt] It depends if like,
a couple times this week
because we were doing stuff with people.
- Yeah, oh yeah.
We went out to eat but I mean like order in.
Once every--
- [Matt] Twice a month.
- Yeah, twice a month.
So, this is a treat.
We got sushi, edamame.
I'll show you guys a closeup of what we got.
Yeah, and then Matt picked up from Costco
these kale chips.
This is probably gonna be our nighttime snack.
That's a dynamite roll, Matt got a spicy salmon roll,
edamame, this is their yam and avocado roll
and then this is a avocado hand roll and then oops,
I got some miso soup.
So that's gonna be our dinner tonight.
So you guys have probably already seen this before
in my 20 healthy swaps video but I love adding lime juice
in with some sparkling water as a soda or pop replacement.
Something about the lime juice is so refreshing
and almost adds sort of a sweetness to the sparkling water
that reminds me of soda.
So, I love doing this instead of drinking sugary drinks
with my dinner.
It's really refreshing and has a really nice kick
with the lime.
(happy music)
All right, so, snack time.
Some kale chips.
Mm.
