BREAKFAST
Gluten‐Free Coconut Blueberry Pancakes with Greek Yoghurt and Green Tea.
I woke at 6am this morning to squeeze in a Tracy Anderson Method mat workout. I always make sure I have a snack before working out to keep my energy up, but instead of adding extra food to my day, I panfried some healthy pancakes first thing, ate 1/4 of the meal with my green tea, exercised for 1 hour then ate the rest before starting my day.
Skinny Bride Mission Recipe: Mix 3 egg whites, 2 Tbs coconut flour, 2 Tbs reduced fat unsweetend shredded coconut, 1/2 cup frozen organic blueberries (+ 1/4 cup for topping), 1/4 cup unsweetened Almond Breeze, cinnamon, nutmeg. Fry. Serve with 1/2 mini-tub of 2% Fage and top with blueberries and 1 Tbs slivered almonds.

MORNING SNACK
Rules are there to be broken ... even Golden Rules. Today I listened to my body and had a morning snack at 10:30am. After burning off more calories during exercise than I had ingested by this time, it was little wonder I was absolutely starving.
I keep a container of Raw Almonds in my drawer at work, for unplanned moments like these. 14 almonds is 100 calories so I stick with that amount, (otherwise it's too easy to keep dipping in for more).

AFTERNOON SNACK
Sheep's Milk Yoghurt, half a Pink Grapefruit ....
... and a warm, fruity cup of Tazo Passion Tea.
I was busy at work and didn't have a chance to eat my afternoon snack until 4:30pm. This left a perfect amount of time for me to work up an appetite for dinner without dying of starvation on the way home.
