Balanced What I Eat in a Day | Easy Whole Food Animal-Based Recipes 🥩

[Music] Hey everyone, welcome back to another what I eat in a day. This one is high protein and whole foods, but there's also going to be a price because I want to show you that balance is normal and we want to enjoy life. So, as you can see, every single morning I try to go for a walk when the weather allows. And I do this outside for some vitamin D and just to get my body ready and be aligned with the circadian rhythm. This just helps you with your energy and overall mood. They like to quickly pick up some things from the store. Now, in New Zealand, we only have farmer salmon, so I usually don't get salmon, but for the purpose of this video, I did. I would never recommend getting farm farm salmon, but I had to. And then we also had to pick up some cacao powder. And for breakfast, we make my classic banana egg pancakes. You'll probably already know the drill. Two eggs, one banana. You can add something like vanilla. Don't miss the baking soda or baking powder. This will help to get fluffy. And rise. Now, I like to cook mine in coconut oil. Coconut oil just helps to get a coconuty flavor, and it has great healthy fats. And I think that coconuty flavor goes really, really well with those pancakes. And when you're cooking these pancakes, you want to have enough oil in the pan, and you want to have the pan hot enough so that they don't stick. And you don't want to have the pan too hot because when it's too hot, your pancakes will burn. As you can see, mine's a little bit too hot, and it started to get a little bit smoky. So, when that happens, you can add a splash of water to the side. And that steam will help to cook the pancake because the bottom will be very cooked through. So the top will be too loose. So if you add a little bit of water, it just helps the steam to cook the whole pancake. And that way you can actually flip it. But if you just don't turn your pan too hot, nothing will happen and it'll be fine. Now I like to just add some blueberries straight into the pan to soak up those flavors. And I don't have to do dishes twice. And you just cook those blueberries. And then you assemble. You do pancake yogurt. Pancake yogurt. I just use four fake yogurt for some extra protein and healthy fats. And then top it off with your blueberries. Now you can do a dash of maple syrup, a dash of honey, and that's it. [Music] I meant to say finished breakfast because this was breakfast, not lunch. And these pancakes are great for a Sunday because this this was filmed on a Sunday. It's a good brunch breakfast. It's for the whole family. And you can add any toppings you want. The base again is just two eggs and one banana. and they're so versatile and meal prep friendly. Now, for lunch, we have salmon sweet potato toast. Now, as I said before, I usually wouldn't get salmon that is farm raised, but for the purpose of this video, I did. And you're going to cut your sweet potato slices into 1 cm thick slices. And that will be your toast. And then you just bake them until soft. You can do orange sweet potato. You can do any type of sweet potato you like or normal potato. And then you add your toppings. For this, I did full fatty Greek yogurt, pink Himalayan, salt, smoked salmon. I know it was far rice. I still got the best quality one. Some cucumber slices for some freshness and crunch and some chibives. This is so good and so I love it. It's so about to tell. And I can never end the meal without something sweet. I know. I know. But so for some extra protein, we got some more for yogurt and one of these red kiwi fruits on the side. Again, I always have one key a day because they're so nutrientdense. And this whole lunch is so filling, so satiating, and I just love it. [Music] Then I spend the afternoon outside with my family. We just enjoyed the views. We went outside. We got some fresh air, hung out with some animals. It was a great Sunday afternoon. Now, before I had my pastry, I did have a boiled egg just for some healthy fats and protein. And then I had a coffee. Now, I have cinnamon on my coffee because that's what I like. And I get full fat milk. This just helps with blood sugar. And as you can see, I got a pastry I shared with my mom. This was a raisin pastry. It was really good. And as I said, you can have these things. I tried to get a really good quality one. Mine was sour dough, freshly baked. I also ordered a local bakery. So, all those things come together and it's totally fine to have this in moderation. Now, for dinner, I had chili conan. The chili khan can be made with beans. Personally, I can't really digest things too well and make bloated, gassy, and I don't really like that. So, I try to avoid beans. Sometimes I'll add them, sometimes I don't. They do, however, like to add bell pepper. I didn't have any, so no bell pepper. Then we're just going to brown our ground beef. And we're going to add our onions. Now, I don't use any oil to cook it because I use A20 beef, which means it has a high fat content. So, you don't have to add any oil. Then, we're going to add our spices. So, we've got paprika, salt, and coriander. We're going to cook that all until fragrant. And then, we're going to add our diced tomatoes or pada, whatever you have on hand. And don't forget the beef bone broth. This just makes it a little bit thinner and adds heaps of flavor. And now, this is the star of the show cacao powder. Trust me, it adds really nice flavor. It adds richness. and it just makes all come together. Then because this is for dinner and I didn't have time to slow cook it, I put it in a pressure cooker for 30 minutes. This just makes it easier and just helps the flavors come together and soften the meat. You can slow cook this if you want to, but again, I just like pressure cooking because it's more convenient. And look at that. Look at that richness. Look at all those flavors. It looks so good. I really want a liable right now. And then I like to top mine with some Greek yogurt or sour cream, but I just said full fat Greek yogurt because some more protein, but also some healthy fats. And then some dried coriander. And that is my finished dinner. It's so delicious. You can dip some stuff into it. You can have it with some rice. You can have with some sweet potato. You can have it on its own as I prefer. Sorry for the blurriness. But it was so good. It's so rich and it's such a comforting meal. Perfect for all those who are heading into winter. I'm heading into summer, but still loved it. Then yeah, thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed this video. And let me know which videos you want to see next. [Music]
