Carrot-Orange Juice!!

This morning I had 1/2 cup of Fiber One cereal with almond milk.

Fallowed by freshly squeezed orange juice. (2 oranges)

I also used a power juicer to get fresh carrot juice. (4 carrots)

+ 1 piece of celery and I mixed it all!

If I had protein powder I would add a scoop of it.

Cereal!

There is so many cereals to choose from. How do we choose the right one?

I shy away from cereals that contain high sugar. Like Cap'n Crunch!

My favorite is Fiber One Original.
I love the taste!
It's very fulfilling.
Only 60 calories
0g in sugar

Fiber is good for my blood type.
Wheat isn't so, I stay away from it as much as I can.

Fiber One VS. Cap'n Crunch.

Soy Milk vs. Almond Milk

I recently switched from soy milk to almond milk. 

Why? I was watching a video blog by my favorite nutritionist, and she recommended it. It also has less calories and sugar.

Their both healthy alternatives to regular milk. Regular milk has too much sugar ( 12 grams, compared to 1g in soy and 0g in almond).
