Day 4: Fruits make the perfect snack

Day 4: Gluten, dairy and egg free.

Fruits are a total girl’s best friend with these types of diet restrictions. Love pomegranates, especially after some quick YouTube tutorials showed us how to open one quick and easy AND we discovered that you can eat the seeds too!!

I grew up having to suck the meat off and spit the seeds out! Ridiculous right??

Now I eat them by the spoonfuls!

 

Pomegranates

• Properties: anti-oxidant, anti-viral and anti-tumor
• Vitamins: A, C, E + folic acid
• Has 3x as many antioxidants as both wine or green tea

Leftover Valentines Chocolate

My mom got into the Valentine’s Day mood this year and decided to pick up a bag of Cookies & Cream Hershey’s Kisses because it sounded different and she was curious hahaha. So now there’s a bag of these on the kitchen counter constantly saying, “eat me…” Oh the temptation!!

How did she know that cookies & cream are one of my favourite chocolate bars?? She is testing my self control. Which clearly I have none of because I had 5 pieces last night. FIVE!

So sad, but so good…

Pastilla de Manga – Mango Pastries

My friend gave me some of these delicious mango pastries and I couldn’t just have one! I’m not going to lie, I did look at the bag quite some skepticism, but after my first bite, I was sold!

They look like little dumplings and although they are wrapped in different colours, it’s the same flavour.

If you ever see this in the supermarket, or if you travel over to the Philippines, pick up a bag, or two 🙂
