Post-Drink Snack: I eat cashews, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds for heart health and immune support.
Daily Meals: For breakfast, I have low-sugar cereal with berries and Ezekiel bread, or eggs with salsa once a week. Lunch typically includes yogurt or applesauce, salad with vinaigrette dressing, and a protein source like peanut butter, baked beans, tuna or chicken.
I also enjoy ginger green tea and a tea consisting of turmeric, honey, black pepper and cinnamon later in the day.
If you are interested in a healthy approach of drinking green tea and drinking Turmeric tea I recommend the Amazon links below for Bigelow Green Tea ( The only Green Tea that I drink ) and McCormick Turmeric, Black Pepper and Cinnamon ( The only brand of spices that I consume ) each just below the Amazon logo.
