I didn't fast during this past weekend, mostly because my
weight really didn't change much, well apart from today that I registered a
1.2Kg in gain! But I know why, that's due to the fact that I had my dinner at
10:30pm last night, eating 4 bananas, insane I know but I'm definitely weak
when dealing with banana and peanut butter! But I promised myself to stick to
my healthy habits today, lots of greens and water. Nothing sweet for dinner
tonight, only vegetables, since I already had my portion of fruits in my
breakfast and lunch, I should be ok to stick to the plan….hopefully.
Yesterday I prepared for the first time Raw Vegan Tahini,
with a very simple recipe, well I improvised really. I don't have yet a Vitamix
so I used my grinder to chop a bit the sesame seeds, then I passed them into
the blender, but it was really not working very well without liquids, the
blades were running without doing much, so I added enough water to let them
spin a bit and work on the consistency of the Tahini, I also added few organic
sundried tomatoes, parsley, a couple of celery leafs and a half tsp of
nutritional yeast, but don't ask why because I'm not sure what I was trying to
accomplish, I never used before this nutritional yeast blend. In any case the Tahini came out better than my expectations, it was a lot and I was really
pleased of the outcome; I used in my zucchini noodles for dinner adding some
greens and diced tomatoes, I was in heaven!
My personal opinion of the vegetable noodles that I made
with the spiralizer is that zucchini are the perfect choice for it, cucumbers
not so much, they lose lots of water and really cucumbers are so much better
when diced, well or at least I prefer them in small cubes rather than a
spaghetti shape. From now on I don't think I will use the spiralizer for
cucumbers, but I will look around looking for different vegetables maybe,
something that can go nicely with the cucumbers, in case I want to mix them.
