Saving Space

A gorgeous, gorgeous morning, but another one that requires a fleece zipped up to the neck!

IMG_20120511_114256

[Photo taken yesterday via Instagram!]

Not the best day for a cold bowl of yogurt either, but I wanted a quick protein-friendly breakfast because I’m headed to the farmer’s market where I’m bound to enjoy some carbs – along with hopefully a hot beverage!

IMG_0490

So I checked fruit + protein + fat off my breakfast to-do list and left the energizing and filling whole grains TBD. This is hard to do!!!

IMG_0489

The new dollop on top is CashewNilla butter by Reginald’s here in Virginia! They sent me three mini jars of their best sellers to taste as a possible OpenSky sale (so Virginia can share with the rest of the country : ) ) Expectations were exceeded!!!! I’m not a big cashew butter (or really anything other than almond, peanut and sunflower butters) eater, but the vanilla bean in this guy was AWESOME!

Enjoyed with Jam According To Daniel, banana, raspberries, chia seeds and plain greek yogurt.

Happy Weekend!

    Oooo Cashewnilla sounds neat. I tried raw cashew butter and wasn’t in love either, but maybe that would be good! Enjoy the Farmers Market!

    That is a beautiful pic. of the sun between the branches of the tree!

    I am not sure if I would like cashew butter, because I am not a fan of cashews. However, I would try it.

    Lucky you! I think our market opens nearer the end of the month…can’t wait! Beautiful sunny and warm day here…heading out with my boys to a 2km walk/run for the Allergy Asthma Information Association’s Epi Pen Take Action Event…May is Food Allergy Awareness Month. Great day for the event!

    As an RD, I would assume you do realize that bowl has ~30g of carbohydrates (without considering the jam, which will obviously increase that number). While there is nothing wrong with getting your CHO needs from whole grains, as an RD with a blog with such a large number of readers, it would be nice to see you mention/ acknowledge that you can meet your needs through other sources, such as fruits and starchy vegetables. I feel this fact is often overlooked!

      Sure, there are carbs in this bowl. But, if you want to get technical, for someone who is pregnant and active, I need a lot more than 30 grams at breakfast to get me going and keep me full. I’d say this is only about half of the carbohydrates that I’d normally have for breakfast (2300 kcal/day x 50% cho minimum = 1150 kcal / 4 kcal/gram = 287 grams for the day. If I’m going to spread those out into 3 meals and a snack, then divide by 4 to get about 71 for breakfast. So there’s where I left the room! A scoop of oats, cereal or granola would have given me close to the other half.

        (And another thing to note: when I put this breakfast together, I really didn’t give any consideration to these numbers. But I’m glad to know my estimation still left room)

        And one last comment 🙂

        While fruits are indeed good carbs, and yogurt/dairy also have carbs, for my body, there is something about the slow release of the more complex starches in whole grains that keeps me full much longer. I couldn’t just have fruit/starchy vegetables as my carbohydrate source everyday without feeling hungry very often.

          With all this CHO talk, are you nervous about your GDM test that should be coming up?

        Exactly! I knew you would obviously know the numbers and calculations 🙂 Though I obviously did not know your specific daily caloric needs, and definitely agree that 30grams would not be enough, even if you were not pregnant, I just wish the fact that there are alternative food sources available would be highlighted more often in the blog world. Also, in general I would not suggest that whole grains be removed completely from one’s diet, but utilizing fruit as a complex carbohydrate in some meals/ snacks when paired with protein and fat is a appropriate. Thanks for acknowledging and responding 🙂

              I’m basically taking calories per day and multiplying them by how many calories of carbohydrates I need per day based on a 50% carb diet. That gives me total calories of carbs. If you divide that by the amount of energy in a carbohydrate, which is 4 calories per gram, you get the total grams per day. You can break that number down however you like – 3 meals, 6 mini meals, 3 meals plus a snack – to get an estimate number of grams of carbs per meal. This isn’t really an ideal math problem to do on a daily basis – it’s too much work, but it’s how a person with diabetes who really does need to know a number of grams per sitting would figure out how much insulin to use. For normal people, you might only use it once or twice to figure out what is a reasonable amount to have at any given meal like I did here.

    I have become a “butter” connoisseur and am always looking for a tasty butter that I haven’t tried. The flavors you shared in this post look amazing! And I really like the mosaic table top in your breakfast pictures–very beautiful. Enjoy your Saturday and hopefully a zipped up fleece will not be needed tomorrow!

    Your breakfast looks delicious. I’m not a big cashew fan either – almonds are my main nut of choice. I’m okay with pistacchios and hazelnuts too though.
