Yesterday, after my pancakes had digested, I squished a run into the morning (squished being the operative word). It was 26 minutes long and I was in such a rush to shower and get ready afterwards that I seriously neglected my post-workout stretching. Bad runner!
Knowing it would be a mistake to leave without eating first, I whipped this up on my way out the door. I was so friggin’ rushed that in between pulsing the bullet, I was tearing through my closet, jabbing mascara into my lashes, and chucking whatever I could grab in my purse. Tasmanian devil.
Fortunately I am a smoothie professional (and can make yumminess happen with only 1/16th of my attention span).
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 3 oz. (1/4 container) silken lite tofu
- 4 strawberries, frozen
- 1 banana, frozen in chunks
- 3 small ice cubes
- 3 drops NuNaturals liquid vanilla stevia
I cut it so close with timing, I had to take my smoothie on the road.
The good news about having hideous ponytail-ed (and soaking wet) hair when I left the apartment was that it wasn’t going to last very long…
Hair cut! [Long overdue]
The cut took 2 1/2 hours because I got it cut at Vidal Sassoon so I had a student checking in with her instructor after each step of the way. I didn’t really mind. It meant I had a perfect cut! It also meant I was staaaarving when I got home.
I pondered dinner while ruining my appetite with a few bowls of cashews.
Dinner at 5 pm? Why not! I had wilty rainbow chard barely hanging on for it’s life, so that was the ingredient I was working around.
Even on it’s death bed, the colors are gorgeous.
I figured blanching it would be the best way to go, since it was past it’s prime for enjoying raw. I love the flavor of chard so the less cooking the better in my opinion.
After it cooked and chilled in an ice bath, I got the rest of the meal’s ingreds ready.
Love/hate relationship with Shirataki. I think I would compare them to Las Vegas…they really don’t offer much, but every once in a while I get a weird craving for them. I haven’t had them since I have lived in CA, which is more than I can say about visits to Vegas.
The angel hair noodles are the best form because (if I’m being perfectly honest) they don’t have much flavor on their own, so the thinner ones are able to soak up more sauce.
Speaking of sauce… I made a tamari/tahini/ginger blend to cover this in. The other ingreds were seitan and carrots.
FYI, I tried a new seitan recipe with this latest batch. I’ll share that with you later.
I had a few super charge me cookies for dessert. ;)
Your hair looks awesome and even from 1 pic, I can tell the cut is *perfect*. A student at V.S. is no doubt better than the “pros” at about 95% of other salons. I’ve had my hair cut at the VS Chicago years ago…such a great experience.
Your hair looks cute! I actually like shirataki noodles, although I wish they smelled better!
Nice haircut!
I love swiss chard so much, and one of its greatest traits is that even if it’s all wilty and kinda sad, you can always still make SOMETHING out of it. Yours still looks so beautiful!
Such a cute haircut!
I’ve experimented with lots of different types of noodles (gluten intolerant) and while I don’t mind the Shirataki ones, I love Sea Tangle kelp noodles.
Love the haircut! And I’m super stoked to get the new seitan recipe!!
That hair cut looks perfect on you! it’s the sort of hair cut I always want to get, but doesn’t work well with my round face!
I have wanted to try the shirataki noodles just to see how I like them, but they charge $12 at the health food store. It just occurred to me that the million asian grocers we have in this city probably carry them for a lot less. Duh.
Love the hair! props to you for sitting for so long, i can not imagine doing that!
I love the haircut! I cut off 11 inches last year and it was about as short as yours is now. It has grown about 6-7 inches and I am trying to decide if I want to cut it again! It looks so good!
Super cute haircut! Is it angled?
AAAnnnd dinner looks great!
Your hair looks great! I’m looooong overdue for at least a trim.
My roommate loves those noodles, she eats them constantly!
Hair cut = très bien!
Noodles = amaze balls!
Super cute hair! I am in need of a haircut, so I’ll have to check them out.
the noodles recipe looks delicious!!!! do you have the super charge cookie recipe anywhere on your site?
WHOA! your haircut is really cute! Did you get it colored also? it looks more auburn than usual…
lookin good sister!
LOVE the cut! 2+ hours is standard for me…hairdressers look like they wanna cry whenever I walk in with my big ol’ hurrr.
Looking forward to the new seitan recipe! Just ordered some Nu Naturals vanilla stevia liquid from iherb – you can’t buy it in the shops over here, I’m so excited. The hair looks great… I cut my own with the kitchen scissors (how sad).
Love Love LOVE your haircut! You look adorable 🙂 xo
love the ‘do. i have done a few student haircuts before in NYC and LA. totally worth it!
Your hair looks awesome! 🙂
I have lots of mornings like that too–smoothies are always the fastest and easiest things to get down the gullet!
When I first saw the bullet, I thought it was an IV bag….hahaha…maybe you should put that in an IV! Love the hair cut…
Love the new hair cut!! Very “modern” 🙂
Cute hair! I didn’t realize that yours was so short! I keep considering going back to short hair, but I’m scared, since it took me 4 years to get it from chin length to where it is now!
it’s because last year i chopped it ALL off (and then went through a semi-identy-crisis): http://www.hungryhungryhippie.com/get-over%C2%A0yourself/
thank you!
haha. not a terrible idea for an IV 🙂
truth.
agreed. im so cheap, haha. if i were you id be a bit more nervous, though (my hair can look like a mess at my job without any repercussions). good thing you have a gorgeous face 🙂
thanks!
thank you krissy!!
you will LOVE it.
my mom always cut my hair growing up. since i am a grown up now though (kinda) i have to pay. 🙁
LOVE the cut! so super cute.
i was very pleased about the content of this post, as when i read the title, i had no idea where it was going… 😉
Love the cut! That length suits you well! I can’t imagine being in a salon that long…usually it’s 15-20 minutes and I’m out! Which reminds me…I’m so long overdue, I think my split ends are starting to develop their own personalities! Haha!
har har – you are too funny.
thanks though. i am starting to get used to the fact that i now have to add 30-45 minutes to my previous getting ready time, but oh well…the thing we women do…
