I had a gluten fest yesterday. We had a dinner for my father's 79th birthday. My nephew made spaghetti and meatballs. My mother brought a cake. I brought a salad. My daughter, Baby Gracie and I couldn't stay long because we had to pick up my son-in-law from work. So when presented with a table of pasta, french bread and cake, I caved. I just ate to my little heart's content.
I suffered a bit last night. But not as much as I have in the past. At least I did not have cheese! But I did have a bowl of popcorn while watching "Mary Poppins" with Gracie. Mary Poppins is her new favorite movie.
My granddaughter loves moves with music, real live people, especially children and live animals. She absolutely loves Dick Van Dyke as Bert.
This morning I went to breakfast with my mother. I had a small breakfast of polish sausage, eggs and gluten free toast. And a pot of English Breakfast tea. No sugar.
I feel as if I have a mild hangover. But I know what to do. Just hop back on the alkaline train!
My daughter and Gracie came with me to Portland today. It is a lovely routine we have. I watch Gracie in the morning while my daughter works. She was in a lovely mood today. Which was helpful, since I was in a state of gluten brain fog.
Then we straightened up and went to Portland. Today I had a free reward on my Starbucks app. I decided to try something new. I am so glad I did! I had the "Almond Blended Protein Cold Brew".
I asked the barista if there was much sweetener. She told me the ingredients were all natural and not sweet at all! It consist of Starbucks Cold Brew, almond milk, plant-based protein, almond butter, Banana Date Fruit Blend and ice. Almond Protein Blended Cold Brew is 270 calories and has 12 grams of plant-based protein. The only drawback was it only came in grande. I wanted venti since I would be sharing with my daughter (and it was free!). I told the barista my dilemma and she suggested adding a banana and putting it in a venti cup.
Bingo!
My new favorite Starbucks!
I feel so much better already!
Much fruit and veggies will be in my future, though.
And now I must run! I have to teach a few students how to play the piano.
Talk to you soon!
Love,
Zita
