I.M.Healthy

I woke up to another day of ick weather.  It’s so hard to get excited for the day when you know it’s going to be spent mostly indoors. 

But then I found a surprise PACKAGE at the door!!!  What could it be…??

The wonderful people over at I.M. Healthy sent me my FAVE soynut butter, both creamy AND chocolate flavors!  I LOVE this stuff!!  Since you all have been asking about soynut butter, now you can see this amazing product, and go out and get it, to try it first hand.  It’s the perfect combination of salty and sweet.  It tastes exactly like ground up soynuts with a smooth and creamy texture – it just doesn’t compare to any other nut butters, and I’ve had extensive experience!!  Trust me, this stuff needs to be in your pantry, like, now!

So brekkie was an obvious choice.  Alvarado street bread toasted with creamy soynut butter.  I can’t wait to try the chocolate.  Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!

I had a second brunch type meal later on (I don’t know why I bother labeling meals).  I guess since it was before noon, I couldn’t call it lunch.  Vanilla o’soy and 2 coconut date rolls with my coffee.

“Lunch” was kinda weird.  I wasn’t overly hungry, and I didn’t feel like making anything, so it turned into a snacky afternoon as I did errands around the apt (I apologize for the randomness in advance).  First, I had leftover veggies.

Followed by spoonfuls of hummus (you read that correctly).  Sabra is so tasty, sometimes you don’t need anything to dip in it, ya know?  As for the pretz…I TOTALLY dipped these in soynut butter!!!  Haha!

And later I made myself a dried fruit plate with papaya spears and pineapple.

Finally I got my act together and headed to the gym. 

GYM stats: elliptical 30 min, tread mill 30 min, elliptical 30 min, abs/arms/stretching 20 min  (I had a mega high from all those endorphins as I headed home)

Dinner was an asian inspired noodle/veggie/tofu dish.

Tofu blocks baked with soy sauce.

Steamed edamame.

Steamed shrooms.

Steamed broccoli slaw.

Soy noodles.

All mixed up together – doesn’t it look YUM!  I drizzled a little bit of teriyaki sauce on top.  I def have un monton de leftovers.

Dessert?  Duh.  Dried dates and carob covered raisins (I de-pitted and stuffed because it’s just so much more fun that way)!! 

Note: After I finished this plate, I made myself another platter (unpictured) because I have no self control because the first one was out of this world.  AND I opened up the chocolate I.M.Healthy soynut butter for my first taste (I just couldn’t resist trying it out!!!).  I’ll save the full review for tomorrow, but HOLY YUM!  I was in sweet tooth heaven – my desserts will NEVER be the same again!  The creamy, smooth, salty, sweet, buttery texture was divine, but I def gulped down what felt like a gallon of soymilk.  This product is like a nut butter lover’s mecca (oh, and fyi, the chocolate soynut butter has no dairy).  Needless to say, I headed to bed ridiculously full, but quite pleased about my new dessert discovery.
