hello sweeties potatoes welcome back
i've been starting off every morning
drinking something warm i like heating
up water at night making a cup of tea
and when the water cools down i'll put
it in my thermos so i can have it fresh
in the morning not too hot and not too
cold and i especially like drinking
something warm before i drink something
cold just to not shock my system if you
guys have been following my channel for
a while you've known that i make matcha
lattes like there's no tomorrow and
because i've made so much matcha lattes
i thought why not switch it up a little
today make it something fizzy make it
something cold
here i'm adding a natural sweetener from
the base this is a ginger pear base that
pairs really really well with matcha
because it has a hint of spice and it's
like just sweet enough without being too
overly sweet i'm adding a tangerine
flavored lacroix to this fizzy matcha
but you can use any type of carbonated
or seltzer type water add in the matcha
and voila i should have poured it a lot
slower so we can get that three layer
separation but i'm learning
this is my first one there'll be many
more to come
wow
wow this tastes amazing
oh my goodness
so that was a quick matcha break between
calls after this call it's time to make
some breakfast we're gonna be making
abba toast japanese inspired avo toast
oh yeah
oh yeah nice and crispy
and then
this is how i like cutting
my elbows
i like cubing them and then scooping
them out with a spoon
oh yeah
no oval left behind oh
all right so so far this is a very
standard aubot toast but here's where
we're gonna get creative i've been very
into a japanese food blog called just
one cookbook and she uses furukake and
sesame oil instead of olive oil on her
avo toast as well as spicy mayo so for
the mayo i'm using cupid pie as well as
sriracha and guys
game changer
10 calls later i can finally enjoy some
breakfast
last night i ate this exact same thing
with pumpernickel bread and it just was
so overpowering that i couldn't even
enjoy the avo or like any of the
condiments that i put on top milk bread
let's go show the way to go
when i eat i really like having a
variety of foods so
that's when we could eat out i love
tapas or just like foods that you can
share with friends like ordering a bunch
of things and having a little piece of
everything and if you guys like eating
different things as well or like having
different flavors and different tastes
even though the main ingredients are
more or less the same seasoning can make
a big difference
just finished eating the avo toast i'm
still a little hungry so i'm gonna make
a natto omelet
let's go
in my previous what i typically eat in a
day video we talked about how my
relationship with food has evolved over
the years and how now i'm all about
intuitive eating so this is part of
intuitive eating i had a pretty late
breakfast i'm gonna call it brunch and i
wasn't that full so i decided i'm gonna
eat a little more i typically like to
eat three meals a day and i usually do
but some days if i'm not feeling that
hungry especially when my hormones are
fluctuating there are weeks where i'm
ravenous and i eat everything and there
are weeks where i don't want to eat
anything so the key takeaway here is
just to listen to your body and feed it
what it needs so here's a little epic
fail but hey it's okay you know we're
human things break and just try to put
it back where it belongs even if it's a
little misplaced and this specific natto
recipe i got it from raymie from
instagram and i'll also link her blog
post down below i'm gonna link all these
recipes down below
i don't have a knife knife it needs to
be washed so i'm going to use a butter
knife
okay that didn't look as great as i
thought it would but
here it is hey
here's a little disclaimer i think it's
very needed i personally love natto i
love the taste of it i like how it
tastes with the dashi broth i just think
it's really good and it's really healthy
for you but at the same time i know it's
a very acquired taste so just be warned
if you were to try it or if you do end
up trying you just know that it might
not taste the best and i know there are
a lot of people out there who don't
really appreciate the taste so just
putting it out there still yummy
nonetheless
[Music]
hydrate friends
gonna make a smoothie
[Music]
probably not the best knife to use for
this but since we're already here
committing to it
[Music]
here's a mid-afternoon snack i love
drinking my greens and i think just
making a smoothie is a really great way
to ingest a lot of nutrients and fruits
and veggies at once i'm trying a
smoothie with celery for the first time
because
it's just like the rape nowadays you
choose cellar but since i don't have a
juicer let's make a smoothie
and yes green smoothies make me
really excited
[Music]
it's a bit grainy
but not bad
clean up clean up okay squeeze a bit of
lemon in there tomorrow
today
i sound like a like an ad campaign
skin care tomorrow
today
beautiful flawless
jerseys
back to work
because i had a really late brunch and i
just had a huge smoothie i opted for two
bigger meals today as opposed to three
smaller meals so right after another
sprint of work it's dinner time
for dinner i wanted something comforting
and soupy and hot so we're gonna be
making a milfui nabe nape
help and here's the doshi broth that
we're going to be pouring into the napa
cabbage and the pork belly
again this recipe is from just one
cookbook so i'll link it down below
does she
[Music]
okay
i'm not sure if you guys can tell but i
haven't been in the most cookie cooking
mood in a really really long time i
think for the past
year or year and a half i've just been
cooking here and there mostly eating out
and i can definitely feel the effects on
my body i've been a lot more tired i've
been a lot more lethargic which is one
of the many reasons why i was
re-inspired to start cooking again but
as with all things i really do believe
there's seasons in your life just like
there are seasons where you're more
inclined to do one thing over another i
think cooking is definitely one of those
things and i'm just
very glad i'm re-entering a season in my
life where i'm thoroughly enjoying
cooking trying new recipes and just
learning
in
a different capacity and being able to
get creative in something like cooking
in the previous video i talked about how
i had a really really unhealthy
relationship with food especially during
my high school and college years after
watching documentaries like fork over
knives and books like food inc i just
decided i want to be vegetarian again
because of more like ethical related
reasons it wasn't until a few years
after that where i realized the true
motive like the true reason why i didn't
want to eat meat or why i was cutting
out food groups like carbs was
principally because i wanted to look a
certain way was because i wanted to be
skinny and maintain my figure
and when i realized this i just told
myself okay you definitely have like a
huge attachment to
your appearance to how you look so what
if you let that all go and just eat
intuitively and see where that takes you
because i was operating from a space of
deprivation and like extreme limiting
and control of my diet
this whole journey and this whole
process was very
needed for me and it
probably helped save my life and kept me
alive
all that to say
we're all on our own individual
beautiful journeys what works for some
people may not work for you and what
works for you may not work for other
people so just remember to stay true to
yourself get to know yourself cherish
yourself and treat your body good treat
yourself good and love yourself
and here's the aftermath
