 Hey Gems, welcome back to my channel. So as you can see by the title, this video is another what I eat in a day video while pregnant. For those of you who don't know, I am vegan. So I've already started my day. For those of you who was wondering, I do still take my CMOS. I actually just ran out this morning. I used the last bit of my CMOS this morning, but I already ordered more and that should be here hopefully by the end of the week so that I don't miss out too many days of taking it. But I started my day with a tablespoon of CMOS and some water and now I am drinking my tea, which I'm almost finished. And this is nettle and soursop leaves. So oh, and I stopped sweetening my tea. I don't put agave or honey in my tea anymore. I've been meaning myself off of that for a while now and I think I finally, I'm finally there where I don't need to sweeten it and I can still enjoy my tea. So yeah, this is all about living a healthy lifestyle. This is not about no diet. I'm going to be showing you guys what I eat today. Like I said, I started my day with my CMOS, water, now I'm drinking my tea. Then I'm going to have some fruits. The only fruits I have today I think is mango and star fruit, but I just make sure that I get my fruit in every day, whatever I have. Saturday when I went to the market, nobody had the soursop and a couple other fruits that I usually buy. So the only thing I have for this week is mainly mangoes and star fruit. I have a papaya, but it's not ripe yet. So I'm not busting that open until it gets fully ripe and nice and sweet. And then I can full enjoy that as well. I'm going to tag you guys along on what I eat today. And thumbs up this video if you guys enjoy these type of videos of me sharing what I eat. Maybe it's giving some of you ideas or whatever the case may be of healthier options. And I'm a very simple person. I can't stress that enough. I'm so simple when it comes to what I eat. I eat what I like and what I like I don't get tired of, unless it's a pregnancy aversion of something and I just can't eat it, which I have some of those. But right now I just eat what I like and I keep it really simple. So yeah, stay tuned. So I'm eating me some star fruits and spiced mangoes. I usually don't cut up my mangoes, honestly. But when I'm trying to multitask work and eat, it's just easier to have it cut up because then I could keep my hands clean while I work. So yeah. So I am about to start preparing my lunch. And if you watched my previous what I eat in a day video, you know, I usually eat a late lunch, probably like around between 330 and 430. I would eat my late lunch and I do that purposely so that my body has time to digest my food before I go to bed at night. So I make my lunch my heaviest meal of the day because, you know, when you're pregnant, your food digest much slower and going to bed on a full stomach is not fun and it increased your chances of getting really bad heartburn and all of that, at least me. So I'm going to prepare some quinoa. So stir fried with like, what am I saying? I'm going to prepare some quinoa stir fried with like some chickpeas. And I'm going to saute some bok choy greens that I got from the market. And I'm going to make a kale salad with some avocado. So while I'm fixing that, I'll be drinking my smoothie. And this is just mixed berries. So it's blackberry, raspberry, strawberries. And then it has sea moss, chia seeds, some almond milk. And some agave in this. So I'm going to be drinking this while I prepare my lunch. So I had already prepped everything this morning just to make it easier myself. I do like bulk of the work in the morning, since it's a much cooler in the morning. So when I come in the kitchen, I could be in and out. So this is my bok choy, so I'm going to saute. And then I'm using these seasoned peppers for my quinoa. And this is some fresh parsley and cilantro. I just love fresh parsley and cilantro. So I might put some in my quinoa and I'm also putting some in my kale salad, which I've already cut up my kale. And then I have my tomatoes and cucumbers in this. So yeah, you guys can follow along. Oh, and my quinoa and my chickpeas are already pre-cooked. I just got to take them out of the fridge. So I don't have to go through boiling it and all of that. So yeah, so this is not a tutorial, y'all, but I'm going to show you guys what I'm doing. Well, some of what I'm doing, I'm just putting a little shit. That was too much coconut oil in there. I'm just going to lightly saute these bok choy. Because they don't shrink down to nothing. So because I'm pregnant, I have not been using like heavy seasoning and spices because it just doesn't agree with my stomach. So I've been keeping it extremely simple when it comes to seasoning my food. And I try to use as much fresh seasoning as possible because I just, it just agrees with my body better right now. And fresh seasoning is actually better regardless. But when it comes to these bok choy, I'm literally just lightly sauteing it with some coconut oil and some sea salt. And I may sprinkle a little onion powder in it because I would usually saute it with some scallion or green onions. And I don't have any more, so yeah. I'll show you guys how it looks when it's done. So that's pretty much for the bok choy greens. I, like I said, lightly saute them because I feel like when you overcook greens, you just cook out all of the nutrients. So the best thing to do is actually steam it. But regardless, you don't want it to overcook till it starts to look all brown and soft. And then you have no nutrients left in your food. What's the purpose of that, right? So that's lightly sauteed and it already smells so good. I can't wait. So now for the quinoa. I am going to start by using some grape seed oil. I'm using the same pot. So yeah, I just put some grape seed oil in there and I'm going to put in my season peppers. I love season peppers. And everything here, I literally bought from the market. So you know, it feels nice to know that they're locally grown and organic. Some season peppers. And I'm going to throw in some of these fresh parsley and cilantro. So I'm just going to allow this to falter before I add in my dry seasonings and chickpeas. Okay, so the dry seasonings that I add in here is just some basil, some chive, a little garlic, literally a little bit of garlic powder and a little bit of onion powder. Oh, I want to add some turmeric too. Hold on. Okay, so I added some turmeric. It smells so good already. I turned down my eye and now I'm going to add my chickpeas. Okay, look at this. How good does this look already? Well, to me. And it smells good too. So I'm going to add my quinoa to this. Stir fry, make sure all the seasonings marinate into each other and that's it. Okay, so my quinoa is done. It looks good. It smells good. I haven't tasted it yet. I don't know. I don't taste my food. I literally sit down, wait till I sit and no one to eat to taste my food. It just works out for me. So yeah, I'll let you guys know how it tastes when I sit down to eat. But that's it. I have my bok choy here, my quinoa. And my keel salad is here ready to just be seasoned up with some olive oil, some lime, some sea salt, and a little bit of nutritional yeast, and agave. But I'm not going to do that until I'm actually sitting down to eat. Oh yeah, and something else I added to my quinoa is coconut aminos. This here, I came down with this from this day. So that's it. And you guys will see my plate when I'm ready to eat. I'm still working on my smoothie. I don't know if I'm going to finish it. If I don't finish it, I'll save it for later. And that way I have something in bite to put in my system before I go to bed. But that's pretty much all I'm going to be eating today. And I'll probably drink some soursop tea later tonight. Okay, so this is my finished plate that you guys can see properly. I've got my quinoa, my keel salad, my bok choy, my avocado. My keel salad is actually half of my plate. Literally half of my plate. So yeah, the majority of what I'm about to eat is my keel salad. And let's see how it tastes. Well, at least the quinoa. Okay, yep. This is getting me powered up. Yeah, I'm about to mash this up right now. If you're not already subscribed, please hit that subscribe button. Help me grow my channel.
