What's In My Lunchbag? | Healthy Paleo Lunch Ideas

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 yeah let me know what some of your favorite things are to pack for your lunch be sure to give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it leave me a comment below ask me any questions that you might have

Day 3 Paleo Challenge: Honey Glazed Chicken Thighs and Roasted Veggies

okay well here we are again guess what we have two microphones now fancy so here's the deal we both just got home from work we're both tired we both don't want to do this but guess what we're gonna eat so this is a video of us just making dinner so tonight we are gonna have roasted vegetables the best roasted vegetables any recipe actually but it combines a whole bunch of vegetables it'll be a sheet pan has broccoli cauliflower Brussels sprouts sweet potatoes beets a bubble garlic awesome and chicken thighs yes they are paleo honey glazed chicken thighs sweet and I get to use my Gigantor new skillet again so let's make dinner so here's a protip a biohacking tip if you will that's for you Eric Richards my fellow biohacker did you know that broccoli in particular and I can't think of a name of the nutrient that does it but there is a nutrient in broccoli that up regulates a pathway in your body called the nrf2 pathway why is that important you asked so for years and years and years we have thought that antioxidants were the way to go to decrease inflammation and we're starting to understand this nrf2 pathway better that basically stimulates your body to produce its own antioxidants so rather than taking grams of vitamin C you might be able to get away with the vitamin C from an orange and eating something like broccoli to help upregulate this nrf2 pathway so your liver can make more of this lovely stuff called glutathione and that can help with a lot of different chronic conditions here that when I talk nerd it turns her wrong plan on more nerd videos tonight on Kevin Brady OHS Paleo kitchen we chop vegetables and talk like dorks and talk like monster truck announcers did you see Jenny's comment so Jenny my sister loved you says it says that Billy says her pro tip is when we scrape the cutting board he's great with the back of the knife so dull the front of a knife that is true I did my mom really genius but I just forgot thank you thank you I can't guess what I just got back from Schrute farms beets two plates of veggies you know what that means leftovers kind of make myself more excited about leftovers I don't like it I am grumpy about them even though they're so good they are very good for you and they save you a ton of money because you know who doesn't want to save money I guess what I've had zero carbs today hey do you need to wear safety goggles and gloves apparently I do I need some safety Bueller dadgum I did it again oh my goodness please refer to the sign in the back window says homemade with love in other words I lick the spoon and keep using it so yeah I just looked myself awesome glad this isn't a restaurant did you just see that garlic applying that what's epic it would have only been better if it had actually hit you in the face [Laughter] turns out peeling these garlic I'm sure there's a pro tip for these I've never known it that yeah so if you have a pro tip for peeling garlic would you please let us know we'll feature you with all of our 31 followers these artists don't know what they're missing they really don't they're just eating their McDonald's and not knowing why they don't feel good we should talk about that for a second okay just because you don't have a food allergy to Dairy does it mean you should consume it correct now that was a question to you it wasn't a question yeah does it mean you should consume it no you should not let's get a little nerd taco my turn you on again alright so here's the deal this is not my doctor platform so I can say whatever I want right just that person the two biggest lies in the medical community that we're being fed are number one that cholesterol is bad that is false fact I will interject this little state now if your cholesterol is below 150 Cameron goes really bad I'm just kind of sitting here on my own but anyway if you if your cholesterol drops 150 your chances of chronic disease triples your great book that you should read it's called the great cholesterol myth and then you can join me because I am a redneck and a conspiracy theorist no really cholesterol is not bad for you you need to eat it you need to consume it and we'll talk about that later the second one is that milk does a body good milk does not do a body good and here is why back in the eighteen hundred's this guy named Louie Pasteur discovered that if he heat milk up they keep killing the bacteria but it kills the bacteria it would last longer unfortunately what he didn't plan on was when you cook milk to pasteurize it you kill the enzymes that your body needs to digest it so you can't digest it and your body recognizes those proteins as undigestible proteins and stimulates an autoimmune react can stimulate an autoimmune reaction and what might that look like no it could be anything from headaches to vision problems to weight gain to diabetes to upset stomach upset stomach is gonna be more of the lactose intolerant lactose intolerant people lack the enzyme called lactate them break it down lactose and that will cause them I want to know we're gonna see people because we're doing strict paleo right now and if his gas is diminished then I'm right farting is good for you when you have healthy gut bacteria they make gas hmm it's a gift you can I quote one of my favorite movies I don't know Canyon is it Hopkins a quote is appropriate but the movies not this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen it's beavis and butt-head I don't need to admit high intelligence with high brow low class that's how I roll say that all again it's gonna be a little different way to roast veggies babe typically we do garlic or we do some maple but guess what just salt and pepper there is garlic fresh garlic on here though it's bound to be delicious into the oven they go at 400 degrees for woosh good thing we're gonna do those smoothie appetizers so here's a personal moment I quite enjoy fishing I used to be a guide I go quite regularly and Justin my oldest stepson went fishing today went fly-fishing that's the only way I know how to fish and he went with his grandfather and my dear friend for the first time for the first time I'm granted my dear friend is a guide and this was a guided trip for Justin but look at this a clown mask and a very sweet trout no I won't cook it I don't like trout by the way we're not using the highest quality olive oil right now why because when I went to buy olive oil this was the only thing that was available because people were panic buying shockingly they probably didn't buy the extra for novel I don't know why it wasn't there it's gone vegetable oil cleaned out well duh we know why that was what I'm Mitch did you just wake up one of our little adult humans heard that we're having smoothies so he woke up okay the vinegars in did you have any a teaspoon out of there of course one teaspoon that matches the kitchen sorta these actually look like they're gonna have a good amount of glaze I hate when you do a recipe that's like this doesn't work for this amount of me it's like dry did you start I'm a saucy person saucy and sassy I just like to have a lot like to taste they think hey hey you look beat that's a good sign how was it please note gradients so excited about it is the new pan look at the size of that thing chicken middle rack we have named her birthday dinner is served it is ready and the Wolves have lined themselves up to eat I've tasted all the veggies they're good haven't ya all right delicious oh babe you got to get an arch to it you're thrown to flat I'm not Oh [Laughter] .
