I just got a new knife set, so they're all super sharp, making it really easy to slice!<br/>Thanks for commenting:)<br/>SportsNutritionLiving: Thanks so much for that rule of thumb. That makes calculating/planning pre-run snacks much simpler. I agree that bread with jam is great exercise fuel.<br/>Meghann: Aw, thanks! I thought they were ho-hum because I was just eating cereal, Boca burgers, and hummus. Glad you still liked the meals though!<br/>VeggieGirl: Great suggestion;) I think I might have to try that sweet potato/spinach combo ASAP. I also plan on making one of your awesome green smoothies soon too.<br/>Danielle: You are so sweet to consider me a "role model." I have to applaud you for your success at maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen even while abroad--not an easy task sometimes!<br/>EatingBender: So glad you got to try the wonders of frozen mango--a lot more convenient than peeling fresh:)<br/>Anyway, I accidentally posted the ingredients to the vanilla hemp in my response to your other comment, but here it is again:<br/>Hemp Protein (100% Organic Hemp Seed), Organic Unrefined Whole Cane Sugar, Organic Cinnamon, Organic Maca and Organic Pure Ground Madagascar Vanilla Bean.<br/>I wish I could try every single one of TJ's trail mixes--there are so many. I still have some of the AntiOXidant mix left, and I have another one with peanuts and chocolate chips I think, unopened. If I had a TJ's nearby, I'm sure I would have like 8 different varieties, including the raspberry chocolate one...<br/>No need to be embarrassed about the TVP thing. The only reason I knew what it was is because when I was doing research prior to my switch to vegetarianism, I came across several recipes that use it. I have actually never used it before, as I think it is very similar to Boca crumbles. Anyway, this seemed like a more economical and shelf-stable choice, so we'll see how it tastes!

I'm in love. I think combining that with the vanilla hemp protein will be happening soon - especially if you say it tastes like CAKE BATTER! What are the other ingredients? I apologize if you've said already.<br/><br/>I love TJ's antiOXidant trail mix! Second only to the Nutz Over Raspberries and Chocolate.<br/><br/>I feel sort of silly saying this but I've never heard of TVP before! I'm excited to see what you use it with.

I love TJ’s antiOXidant trail mix! Second only to the Nutz Over Raspberries and Chocolate.

Lacking creativity, are you kidding? Everything you eat always has some thought to it and I find myself thinking "what a great new idea" every meal. You're my role model, hehehe :) crYou never cease to amaze me with your busy schedule and pretty, wholesome meals. Lacking creativity, are you kidding?

Also about the pre-exercise meal.. I find that I can not run on a full stomach so I eat something small before a run jus to keep my hunger away... a general rule is 1g/carb for every kilogram of body weight per hour... this is a lot of carb so I usually got with bread and jam with some puffed cereal on top... than after I am def ready to eat! your meals are hardly lacking in creativity.
