hi everyone up there how's it going hope you're all having a great day welcome back to another edition of what is in my lunch bag this is actually the second time I've ever filmed this video the last what I went to my lunch bag video was like a year ago I filmed it I guess but I always intended to fill more of these so today I'm going to share with you what is in my lunch bag people always ask me where's my lunch bag from and you know what I don't actually know this was my mom's lunch bag and I don't know I like it though it's a good rectangular shape it holds my lunches very well so I've got a bunch of different things here to kind of choose from which is a tip that I have for packing a lunch is to have a good variety of things some things that are salty some things that are savory some things that are a little bit sweet that kind of thing so anyway let's jump in I'm going to start with the very first thing let me just unpack my lunch first and by the way just so you guys know I will sometimes do Instagram live or Facebook live what's in my lunch bag videos or sometimes like little grocery calls so if you want to follow me on those social platforms then you will often see these sorts of videos more often so I've got a container here with two compartments and in it I have some turkey meatballs these are Asian turkey meatballs so basically I just had ground turkey and I rolled them into balls with sesame oil some ginger some salt and pepper and then I just cooked them up and so I'm adding some kind of like leftovers that I'm adding to my lunch today and then I also had roasted up a couple of carrots in the oven and I love roasted carrots I talked about in my recent grocery call how much we love roasted vegetables especially time of year and I actually really like to roast carrots and other veggies with a steak seasoning that's kind of my trick to these carrots there's a Montreal steak seasoning Spergel Donna and then I have a big handful of greens for a salad so this is actually like a pretty compact salad I squished a whole bunch of greens in there a little bit of avocado and I talked to this salad with some hemp seeds and sun-dried cranberries and the dressing that I'm going to use for that at my work I have a bottle of apple cider vinegar and some olive oil so I'll probably just kind of put that on there often what I pack for lunch is very random like I will just kind of grab things and kind of put them together keeps my life simple and I can just take leftovers and throw them in a container and you know whatever it is having greens on hand is really handy for making quick lunches like I did here I literally just grabbed a handful of spring mix topped it with some random things that's my avocado whatever good luck they also got two boiled eggs and boiled eggs are great because they're good whole food rich in protein and good fat so they keep you feeling full and I don't know when I will have these eggs later on or if maybe even before I have that maybe I'll have a couple boiled eggs maybe I'll even have it with the avocado and I like these just with some salt and pepper and I also have now this item that I have here it's a very special recipe it's what my boyfriend Sean and I have lovingly titled the chocolate blob this is the chocolate blob now do not judge a book by it's cover it looks very messy but that's kind of the point of it it's designed to be just like a one Bowl mishmash of essentially chocolate and banana and berries and that's pretty much it so but I will tell you how I did it now the full recipe for this is up on my blog and I highly recommend that you try it because it is so good this chocolate blob is what sometimes I will have for dessert in the evenings or just as a snack in the afternoon in this case I'll probably have this like later on sometime later on today okay so this is what I do now I take one banana I take a couple spoonfuls of nut butter this in here it's almond butter today but sometimes I will use sunflower seed butter and then I take a handful of frozen berries now I usually prefer frozen raspberries but in here today I also have some frozen blackberries and so what I do is they put that in the bowl and I add in a couple spoonfuls of raw cacao powder and some sea salt and that is the key to this recipe the sea salt brings out all the flavors all the sweetness it just makes it taste ten times better when you guys have sea salt to this and I mash it up and it becomes a toggle all it just becomes the most delicious nut buttery sweet banana chocolatey berry Bowl I really don't know what this is it's kind of like a pudding I just love it it's like my favorite thing on the plate I have it in this nice ceramic container with a nice vacuum sealable lid and that's that lastly I have some tea I always like to have tea with me when I'm going to work and when I'm at work this here is try or this team this is by Yoli and I new love this tea I love that it is a caffeine-free tea a lot of Chinese that you find are in black tea which contains caffeine and I don't do too well with caffeine I always avoid caffeine but avoid this it's really quite lovely and it's child which I am all about chai recently posted on my blog a 5-ingredient chai spice mix which I've used in my spicy Thai smooth you guys saw my immune-boosting rings this also is really lovely with coconut milk so I reckon I'm not too and lastly I always have my Potter bottle with me and this is my life Factory water bottle many times you guys have heard me chat about this bottle I love that it's glass so of course you know isn't plastic it does not contain BPA which is always a good thing and an it's wrapped in silicone and I just I have such a special place for this bottle in my heart the point is that I always have water with me and carrying a bottle with me always ensures that I drink plenty of water throughout the day and thankfully where I work we have a reverse osmosis filtration system so I'm able to fill out my water throughout the day with good clean filtered water no this is 22 ounces that's the size of this and I usually drink one to two of these per day so that always comes to be my lunch as well so that's it for today's video just a quick little what's in my lunch bag I hope that you guys found some inspiration in this video in some way or another and
