I just got a new knife set, so they're all super sharp, making it really easy to slice!<BR/>Thanks for commenting:)<BR/>SportsNutritionLiving: Thanks so much for that rule of thumb. That makes calculating/planning pre-run snacks much simpler. I agree that bread with jam is great exercise fuel.<BR/>Meghann: Aw, thanks! I thought they were ho-hum because I was just eating cereal, Boca burgers, and hummus. Glad you still liked the meals though!<BR/>VeggieGirl: Great suggestion;) I think I might have to try that sweet potato/spinach combo ASAP. I also plan on making one of your awesome green smoothies soon too.<BR/>Danielle: You are so sweet to consider me a "role model." I have to applaud you for your success at maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen even while abroad--not an easy task sometimes!<BR/>EatingBender: So glad you got to try the wonders of frozen mango--a lot more convenient than peeling fresh:)<BR/>Anyway, I accidentally posted the ingredients to the vanilla hemp in my response to your other comment, but here it is again:<BR/>Hemp Protein (100% Organic Hemp Seed), Organic Unrefined Whole Cane Sugar, Organic Cinnamon, Organic Maca and Organic Pure Ground Madagascar Vanilla Bean.<BR/>I wish I could try every single one of TJ's trail mixes--there are so many. I still have some of the AntiOXidant mix left, and I have another one with peanuts and chocolate chips I think, unopened. If I had a TJ's nearby, I'm sure I would have like 8 different varieties, including the raspberry chocolate one...<BR/>No need to be embarrassed about the TVP thing. The only reason I knew what it was is because when I was doing research prior to my switch to vegetarianism, I came across several recipes that use it. I have actually never used it before, as I think it is very similar to Boca crumbles. Anyway, this seemed like a more economical and shelf-stable choice, so we'll see how it tastes!ChickPeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01796488061660385286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627893784366398778.post-45998883202240288422008-09-23T22:31:00.000-04:002008-09-23T22:31:00.000-04:00Wow, I think you have already perfected the art of...Wow, I think you have already perfected the art of super tiny apple slices!!<BR/><BR/>I just tried frozen mango for the first time tonight. I'm in love. I think combining that with the vanilla hemp protein will be happening soon - especially if you say it tastes like CAKE BATTER! What are the other ingredients? I apologize if you've said already.<BR/><BR/>I love TJ's antiOXidant trail mix! Second only to the Nutz Over Raspberries and Chocolate.<BR/><BR/>I feel sort of silly saying this but I've never heard of TVP before! I'm excited to see what you use it with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627893784366398778.post-22920871137263035872008-09-23T20:04:00.000-04:002008-09-23T20:04:00.000-04:00crYou never cease to amaze me with your busy sched...crYou never cease to amaze me with your busy schedule and pretty, wholesome meals.

Also ...your meals are hardly lacking in creativity. Also about the pre-exercise meal.. I find that I can not run on a full stomach so I eat something small before a run jus to keep my hunger away... a general rule is 1g/carb for every kilogram of body weight per hour... this is a lot of carb so I usually got with bread and jam with some puffed cereal on top... than after I am def ready to eat!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627893784366398778.post-58431283994211233162008-09-23T01:13:00.000-04:002008-09-23T01:13:00.000-04:00you seriously are the queen of super tiny apple sl...you seriously are the queen of super tiny apple slices! what is your technique!? ;)<BR/><BR/>your eats always look/sound so good!
