fresh bread

Sunday Afternoon

Food: fresh bread, apple slices, chunky organic peanut butter

Body: a 15-minute walk around the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market

Mind: having a moment to drink a cup of tea and do nothing else

In the middle of the afternoon, after running around to five different stores to find a flashlight (and failing), I was famished.  It was too close to dinnertime to have a full on meal, so I opted for this delicious snack.  I had two slices of a brioche loaf that I bought from Sullivan Street Bakery, and it was perfection; it's the type of bread that makes you want to go out of your way just to pick up a fresh loaf.  Add in a sliced apple from the farmer's market and a dollop of chunky peanut butter, and I was certainly not hungry when I finished!

Monday Morning

Food: low-fat plain yogurt with chia seeds, small piece of challah bread with chunky organic peanut butter, tall glass of plain coconut water

Body: a 20-minute walk before the rains hit

Mind: playing word games on the train; a 15-minute call with mom

 

I had to travel for work today, so I knew it was the type of day I wanted to start off with a lot of protein and hydration.  Enter this delicious breakfast: yogurt (8 grams of protein), chia seeds (3 grams of protein), peanut butter (7 grams of protein), and challah bread (4 grams of protein), plus a large glass of organic coconut water, my miracle hydrator.  I wish I had added a piece of fruit, but for what it was, it was a fulfilling start to the morning!
