3.) A heavier whole foods breakfast. My breakfasts before were usually pretty light - oatmeal or cereal.
I now make a salad that usually consists of one can of chickpeas (21 grams of protein), mixed greens, healthy fats like extra virgin olive oil or avocado, and some spices and seasonings for flavor.
Today I improvised a Thai peanut dressing that consisted of PBfit (a low calorie peanut butter powder), soy sauce, seasonings, and lime juice. It added an extra 8 g of protein.
3 recent major #productivity boosts:
1.) An alarm clock app you have to scan a barcode to shut off. Particularly one that is very hard or impossible to bypass. I struggled so many years to wake up early consistently because my morning brain is lazy and clever. But this gets me out of bed by the time I scan that code, I no longer have the urge to go back to bed.
Love how these quick and easy tofu fillets came out. Same simplicity as throwing chicken breast on the pan. Only difference is dusting them with some corn starch in addition to the seasonjngs.
Vegan chicken and protein waffles tonight!
@Leisureguy definitely gonna be a next weekend project! Had no you could make it with rice, black beans, etc.
Certainly a lot of culinary creativity and innovation left in the tempeh world! Even in the vegan world it is not talked about enough.
Recently saw tempeh mentioned in a not-vegan-related gut health documentary though which was neat.
@dougbeney Thank you for your kind comment. I did eat store-bought tempeh at first, but it was expensive (about 10 times as much as homemade — see https://leisureguy.ca/2024/04/01/buying-tempeh/) and it also doesn't have the variety (or the excellent taste) of homemade. That is, if you look for black lentil + purple barley tempeh in the store, you will not find it, despite its nutritional excellence.
If you try it, commit to doing 4 batches. By then, you'll have enough experience to find it easy.
