The Art of a Balanced Breakfast

In the hustle and bustle of a vibrant city like Miami, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can often feel like a daunting task. However, with a little planning and some creativity, it’s entirely possible to savor delicious and nutritious meals throughout the day. In this journey, I’ll dive into my latest escapade of healthy eating while on the go, highlighting some of the simple pleasures that come with it.

Let’s start with breakfast, which sets the tone for the day. A simple yet delightful recipe involving salt-free rice cakes topped with Whole Foods peanut butter, ground flax seeds, and sesame seeds forms the base of my morning meal. This combination provides a burst of energy to get the day started on a positive note. Additionally, taking my daily supplements of vitamin B12 and vitamin D ensures that I am at my best, no matter where I am. Coupled with meditation from the Slim app, which offers both affirmations and quotes, this routine becomes an essential part of my morning ritual.

Midday Serenity and Soup

While sipping on fresh chamomile tea, I take the opportunity to multitask, responding to emails and engaging with clients. The serene view of the pool serves as the perfect backdrop for quiet contemplation and productivity. It’s all about finding balance and embracing the calm amidst chaos.

When lunchtime arrives, I reach for my trusty Stojo bowls, perfect for traveling. I reheat a comforting bowl of Plant Strong Thai carrot chickpea soup. Minimalist ingredients with no added oils, refined sugars, or excessive salt, this meal is both healthful and convenient. Even with its mild flavor, the soup’s hearty consistency manages to win my approval. Those with salt-leaning palates might want to add a pinch to suit their taste.

An Evening Out

As my day continues, I prepare for an evening out without compromising on my skincare regimen. Going makeup-free feels liberating, and I take the opportunity to ensure my skin remains hydrated with a good quality moisturizer. An adventurous night awaits as we head to Water, a local restaurant renowned for its superb sushi. Here, simplicity rules my choices – hot chamomile tea, salt-free edamame, and veggie rolls topped with avocado and pickled vegetables. The flavors are fresh, and the meal is light, making it a perfect way to round off the day.

Back at the hotel, dessert takes an unconventional turn. The kind waiter offers a tempting chocolate cake, but I stick to my homemade treat of rice cakes adorned with flax and sesame seeds, showcasing my commitment to mindful eating. My husband, meanwhile, is thrilled to enjoy the decadent dessert offering.

Starting the Day Anew

The next morning, breakfast comes with a twist as my seemingly invincible avocado still remains unripe. Fortunately, a quick trip to Starbucks provides a delicious resolution with their avocado spread. It’s a brilliant blend of avocado, lime, sea salt, and spices, perfect for those on the go. Paired with my trusty rice cakes, opal apple, and chamomile tea, it makes for a satisfying breakfast ensemble.

A Flavorful Plant-Based Lunch

Continuing my plant-based journey, lunch features the Plant Strong spicy Cajun jambalaya. Playing with the consistency by adding water, I enhance the soup’s texture while retaining its robust flavor profile. A thick base and a medley of spices offer warmth and comfort in every bite. Simplicity and nutrition shine through, affirming my choice for clean, wholesome meals.

Evening Delights at Catch Miami

Dinner at Catch Miami brings innovation to the forefront of my culinary experience. Sticking to my preferences, I order salt-free edamame and request a custom avocado and cucumber roll, garnished with sesame seeds. The staff is accommodating, transforming my vegan vision into a delightful reality. As I indulge in the fresh and wholesome flavors, I can’t help but appreciate how simple requests can lead to memorable dining experiences.
