A Day In The Food Life – Sandra Sanchez of http://www.orglamic.com

7:45am Coconut Cream Pie Lara Bar

I am completely obsessed with these.  I love that they are made of such pure, vegan ingredients and add a perfect punch of protein and fiber, which is generally what I look for when picking out energy bars.  Also, I know that eating nuts is super healthy, but I don’t really like eating them plain so this is a good way to get them into my diet.

Water in Vapur Anti-Bottle

I love this reusable, portable water bottle (or anti-bottle, shall I say.)  It is super lightweight and fits easily in my purse so I can carry it with me throughout the day.  I pretty much only drink water, unless I am socializing with friends in which case I drink wine or vodka sodas.  I also love a good fresh-squeezed fruit juice and tend to get that when I am out to breakfast or brunch.

9:45am Beverly Hills Juice Club Banana Manna Shake: Apple Lemon Double Ginger w organic banana and almonds.

I love love love this place and totally think it is worth the price!  Sometimes I’ll try to do a 3-day juice fast so I’ll get all my juices from here.  Most of the time I just swing by for a protein-filled pick-me-up smoothie.  I just moved across town though, so I am going to check out Pressed  Juicery, which is just down the street from me, and hope that it is as good.

12:45pm 2 mini 100 Grand chocolate bars

Yes, despite my best intentions to eat healthfully, I have a perpetual, insatiable sweet tooth and will literally pull into gas stations and 7-11’s for a fix.  I know, it is tres tacky, but I can’t help myself, nor do I want to.

2:00pm vine ripened tomato, fresh mozzarella, olive oil, dried oregano, French bread and 2 dates

I went to the Brentwood Farmer’s Market this weekend and picked up some goodies, so I am trying to eat more at home this week.  More often than not, I am out to lunch (either business or with friends.)  As for the dates, I always have to end my meals with something sweet, so these were my attempt at being healthy.

3:45pm 6 avocado rolls and 2 dates

Okay, so maybe I didn’t make my sandwich big enough, or maybe it is bc I am working from home just a stones throw away from the kitchen, but I am inspired to have another mini-meal.  The avocado rolls are from Whole Foods.  Simple and yummy.

5:00pm ½ fresh mozzarella ball

Now I swear I am just eating because I know that I have to write it all down.  It is almost like when I tried to diet and only ended up eating more than usual bc I was thinking about food the whole time.  Nevertheless, the mozzarella is mouthwatering.

6:10pm about 15 Snapea Crisps

More snacking…

6:45pm 2 mini 100 Grand chocolate bars

Must really build a wall between my office and kitchen…

9:45pm spinach and tomato sautéed in olive oil and pepper and a bowl of Pacific Natural Foods Curried Red Lentil soup

Again, I usually go out to dinner with my boyfriend or friends, so this is quite uncharacteristic.  I am trying to use the fresh spinach and tomatoes from the market and they turn out great when paired with a hearty bean soup.  This reminds me of the kind of European-style dinners I had as a child, and I often tend to eat that way…just throwing together a small salad, soup, cheese and bread.  And of course, dessert!
