Pretty ill today. Thought I'd try and cure myself with a superfood salad of avocado, mango, radish, sprouting seeds, sugar snap peas, leaves carrot & apple, nut and seeds with a blueberry and ginger smoothie and a triple mint tea. Unfortunately I am still ill.

But well satisfied, I'll wager.

It's like we're in some sort of health food stand off! If so, I conceded defeat at your one and a half bowls of acai. Well played sir.

It's a Brazilian jiu jitsu thing, whenever there's a competition coming up one of the first questions is always "will there be acai?!"

Today's lunch is chicken, cucumber, beetroot, quinoa and freekeh with lemon juice. I also have a litre of coconut water with chocolate protein to drink in between training.

It's been 2 portions Although I can't quite manage it all today.
I put some extra stuff in it as well - herbs, sundried tomatoes, a red pepper. It turned out really well and I love the topping!

I made my mum a belated mothers' day lunch from all the things she likes (apart from the minging ones): gorgonzola, walnut bread, salad with black olives and avocado, scotch eggs, artichoke hearts in oil, elderflower presse. Then two massive cream doughnuts

I had a crap salad where nothing went with anything else because was too lazy to make it last night like I usually do, and I'm a complete idiot in the mornings.

did you work out the calories? I just had half a pot of Glorious Skinny soup (also carrot) and was wondering could I have had more of the girlcalledjack one instead (although I didn't have time to make it today anyway).

154 calories if you divide it into 4 portions, so perfect for a fast-day lunch. A double portion would make a nice fast-day dinner too.
