1/2 Cup Water
2 md. Banana (frozen) 210 cal

I wanted a green smoothie, I wanted apples, and I wanted ice cream, so I just went for it. Ice cream for breakfast? Definitely! This made 2 1/2 glasses which took me about an hour to finish.

1 Avocado 322 cal
1/2 Avocado 161 cal
2 md. Banana 210 cal
1/2 Mango 67 cal
1 Tbsp. Pumpkin Seeds 40 cal
Total 478 cal
I've really been wanting this awesome pudding for a while, but I just didn't have avocados handy when I was actually in the mood for it's sweet and tart flavor. This is seriously a TREAT! You must try this! Just blend the avocado, a bit less than half of a mango, and one banana. Then just top with the second banana, a few mango chunks, and some pumpkin seeds. Delicious!

-Snack-
1 md. Banana 105 cal
1/2 Cup Pineapple 42 cal
Total 147 cal
Soon after the pudding, I was still hungry, but not hungry enough to make more pudding, so I just had a banana and a bit of pineapple.

-Big Salad-
1 1/2 Cup Baby Spinach 15 cal
3 lg. Leaves Romaine 15 cal
1 Cucumber 30 cal
1 Carrot 25 cal
1 Stalk Celery 9 cal
10 Green Beans 17 cal
1/2 Avocado 161 cal
1 1/2 md. Apple 143 cal
1/4 Lemon 6 cal
1/8 Cup Lentils 70 cal
Total 491 cal
At this point, it is safe to say that a salad like this will almost certainly be a part of my daily diet from here on out. Everyday I seem to add more to the standard salad I used to reach for, and today was no exception. The lentils make this salad, somehow, ever better. And it tastes just as good as it looks, if not better! So good!
8:00PM
-Snack-
1 md. Banana 105 cal
I needed something sweet after the above salad, so another banana went down the hatch.
10:30PM
-Snack-
2 Chunks Pineapple 28 cal
Around this time, I spent 2 1/2 hours in kitchen preparing some food for the work week ahead of me. 2 Chunks of pineapple started the snacking session that helped me get through all of the time spent in the kitchen.
11:30PM
-Snack-
1 Carrot 21 cal
1 Stalk Celery 9 cal
1 Tbsp. Raw Ranch Dip 50 cal
Total 130 cal
I just had to sample the new raw ranch dip I spent some time making tonight. Really, it was so simple.
I just blended 1 cup of soaked (for 4 hours) raw cashews, along with roughly 3/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of both garlic and onion powders, and 1/4 tablespoon Himalayan sea salt. Afterwards, I added 1 tablespoon of both dill weed and dried basil, and blended briefly - maybe 4-5 seconds - just to mix the seasonings throughout. You can blend them together with the rest of the ingredients, but you'll end up with a green ranch, not the white one (with seasoning flakes) as shown above.
12:00PM
-Snack-
1/16 Cup Raisins 27 cal
A little something else to fuel my body.
12:50PM
-Fruit Salad-
2 md. Banana 210 cal
1/2 Mango 68 cal
1.25 Oz. Blueberries 20 cal
Total 298 cal
In order to stop all the snacking I was doing, I made one of my go-to fruit salads consisting of the standard banana, mango, and blueberries combo.

Like I said, in order to get my protein numbers up a bit, I am fine going a bit over the 10% for the fat intake. Hopefully it will help me gain some weight as well. Such a good day overall!
And that concludes Day 22!
