A Week of Nourishing Gluten-Free Eats!
Hello you guys and welcome back to my Channel or welcome if you’re new here my name is Mary Margaret and clearly by the title of this video we are filming a what I eat in a week but it’s not like a typical what I would eat in a week because I am trying to do glutenfree for the next few days if you know me you know that I am very picky I feel like.
It’s 5050 like I love Seafood meat fruit but I also love like candy sweets chocolates desserts all things like that but this past week I was kind of having like stomach issues and I just been haven’t been feeling the best at the end of the day like I’m super bloated and I’m just like H like what is going on so I’ve been talking to a ton of family and.
Friends and everyone was like have you tried taking out gluten and I have just never even thought to do that but after talking to some people I was like okay maybe it is gluten that’s upsetting me so this video is kind of going to be a test to see if I feel a difference at the end of the week so we’ll see how it goes but I figured I would just film it.
Take you guys along in case any of you guys are also gluten-free or want to try something similar to see if there’s a difference so I’m going to be trying out a ton of different like recipes taking you guys along for like what I will be eating um obviously I’m going to have to try and make some modifications and like I said I am picky so this might be a.
Little of a challenge but I thought it could be fun to take you guys along without further Ado let’s get right on into this video it is actually almost noon it’s 11:43 right now and I’m about to make my first meal of the day I think I’m going to do scrambled eggs and maybe a.
Smoothie I am normally the person who right when I wake up I eat breakfast like first thing because if I don’t sometimes I feel laded and just like weak so that’s what I’ve done my entire life is I wake up and I eat breakfast but my breakfast choices are not the healthiest I would typically do like waffles or cereal more recently I’ve.
Been doing a bagel or sourdough toasted with like peanut butter and then strawberries bananas fruits but I know that is super sugary even though it’s like a healthier option it’s still mostly sugar right when I wake up so I’m going to try and switch to adding more protein let’s get to cooking.
I would assume olive oil is glutenfree right oh my gosh we’re going to do one scoop of this collagen from Kaus it’s flavor so you won’t taste anything but it has a lot of good benefits oh it says Two Scoops Two Scoops actually okay I would normally add a.
Natural peanut butter but I’m pretty sure that has gluten so we’re going to do peanut butter powder instead we’re just going to like add whatever looks right o we’ll do that and then we’ll also add water I like my smoothies to be a little bit more thick um so you usually just.
Have to blend them for a little bit longer is it good yeah it’s very good first official gluten-free meal I’m honestly I didn’t even really check I’m sure does frozen fruit have glut gluten oh my gosh clearly I’m new at this but regardless we have my smoothie I did Frozen mango pineapple frozen banana frozen blueberries and then I added.
Peanut butter powder and protein powder and collagen so that is how we got this beauty it tastes really good I’ve actually already tried it and then we have my two scrambled eggs so I’m going to go ahead and eat this I was saying that usually right when I wake up I just eat first thing but I waited till noon today and I’m just trying to like listen.
To my body more I guess like usually I just wake up and I eat just because it’s breakfast and I’ve grown up my whole life eating right away but I want to just like wait until I’m hungry obviously that’s like common knowledge to eat when you’re hungry but because I just do it right when I wake up I don’t give my body a chance to get hungry so.
That’s why I’m waiting a little bit later in the day to eat today we’ll see if I decide to just like eat straight away tomorrow I think it also depends too like if I was to go to a workout in the morning I probably would eat a little something regardless if I was hungry or not just that I have some energy in me so that I’m not going to.
Get weak during the workout so I feel like it’s like a morning by morning basis makes it harder when you’re traveling a bunch too because you don’t have as much control I would probably give this smoothie 7 out of 10 it’s definitely not my best but for being like a healthier version of what I usually do I feel like it’s pretty good.
Are you hungry I know I hear you growling at me I will check back in with you guys in a little bit I was able to find a ton of gluten-free things so these are our favorite um air fryer chicken nuggets these are by Applegate and they’re gluten-free I know Brinley always eats these and she got them on us we actually did the chicken tenders this.
Time usually we do the Nuggets my new obsession is Halo top ice cream I’ve been doing their mint chip flavor and it is seriously so good good for someone who is a dessert person and has to have like a sweet treat at the end of every day this is a really good switch because before I was just eating like briers like cookies and cream ice cream which.
Obviously is not the best Ben and& Jerry’s literally has like I think it’s like 15500 calories and like an insane amount of sugar so this is just a really good alternative it only has 330 calories and only 10 g of sugar which is honestly insane for dessert so I’ve been loving this went ahead and also bought some.
Chocolate covered almonds strawberries Noah got these I think it’s like the healthier version of Pringles it’s called the good crisp company and these are also gluten-free so if you need like a little snacking choice I also love Boom Chicka Pop I snack on this during the day we branched out and I decided to get baby spinach if you know me you know.
I like don’t eat any vegetables so I’m going to try and sneak these in and hopefully I don’t taste them that much I also grabbed this granola it’s purely Elizabeth organic grain granola it’s gluten-free obviously and my sister actually recommended me this so I’m excited to try that out one of my favorite meals is pasta and of course.
Has gluten in it so I found a gluten-free option this is by the brand jali or joal joile I’m not sure how to pronounce that but hopefully this is good because I really want to find a good gluten-free pasta option since it is one of my favorite things to eat we got red apples green apples lemon tried to get mangoes but they were out today.
And then we also got a ton of meat so that is my little impromptu grocery haul if you guys have any gluten-free brands that you love and recommend please comment them down below because I’m willing to try out a bunch of different stuff and I also think I don’t know if I’ll get to it this week but I also want to make a trip out to Whole Foods it’s.
Just a little bit of a drive that’s why we don’t go there that often it’s like 25 minutes from here on a good day without traffic but I think I definitely want to go make a trip there because they’ll obviously have a lot more options and brands that are fitting what I’m trying to do so yeah if you have any recommendations let me know I am just.
Snacking on these I used to eat these all the time in high school and it’s literally been years since I’ve had them but I saw them in the store the other day and it says glutenfree so this is my little snack for now it’s the brook aan blueberry little like chocolates this is what they look like they’re so good I just grabbed like a handful and I.
Think they also do like a pomegranate one as well but this one’s my favorite I’m nervous yeah perfect we ended up doing spaghetti tonight with the gluten-free noodles have not tried it yet so I am curious to see how this is going to be good mhm I honestly give this a 10 out of 10 it.
Literally does not taste different at all and I feel like that’s like an easy switch very good good morning you guys it’s now the next day and it’s actually 11:20 right now so this is the second day in the road that I’ve gone pretty late without having breakfast early in the morning but I just got like all of a sudden.
Starving came over me and my stomach is growling so I’m like all right it’s time to eat I was trying to hold off again today just to like wait till I was naturally hungry I didn’t want to just like force myself to eat something right when I woke up even though we did go on a run this morning so I was a little bit nervous cuz I didn’t have anything in my.
Stomach and I was like am I going to get lightheaded or like what’s going to happen but we only did a mile and I felt fine I wasn’t even hungry right after it’s been like we’ve been home for probably about about an hour now um but like I said I just got really hungry so we are going to make our first meal of the day and today I’m trying out yogurt.
I used to eat yogurt all the time when I was little but it would be like the cotton candy like tricks yogurt which is so bad for you I haven’t eaten that obviously in like years last time I had it I was probably like six or seven but I’ve just taken a yogurt break since then and I want to get back to it so this is the one I’m trying today I think.
It’s pronounced okos this is the one NOA usually gets um has 17 gr of protein which is actually insane um and it’s gluten-free obviously so we’re going to try this and my sister recommended that I add cocoa powder because I prefer chocolate flavored things this is organic unsweetened cocoa powder 100% cocoa and gluten-free I think I’m also.
Going to mix in some collagen since that’s unflavored and then for toppings I feel like this is where I have to make it more more fun for me to like actually enjoy eating it so I have this new granola I showed you guys yesterday and then we have strawberries raspberries and gluten-free chocolate chips so those are all my little toppings that we’re.
Going to put on top I’m going to go ahead and mix this up and I’m really crossing my fingers that I like this cuz this will be a really fun new meal I like to switch it up because I get pretty bored of eating the same thing over and over again part of why I’m so picky is because I have to smell everything everything before I eat it.
Don’t ask me why but like I have to smell and if it smells gross I’m not eating it probably the biggest reason why I don’t eat bacon or like sausage or anything like that because the smell grosses me out and cheese I’m not like I’ll eat cheese pizza mac and cheese stuff like that but just like a block of cheese like a shuder board I’m not going.
To touch but this one smells pretty good so far so that’s promising I don’t know if I have a texture thing or what but like this is kind of grossing me out a little bit feel like that’s good to amount I’m just kind of eyeballing this we’re going to do a scoop of collagen I think we’re just going to do one scoop since this is.
Yogurt I don’t even know if you can technically do this I think we’re getting somewhere that actually looks really good I think adding toppings will definitely help look at how good that looks oh my gosh I have taken a few bites I will say I definitely need the toppings to be able to enjoy it but I also don’t know if it’s because because.
I did too much cocoa powder so I’m definitely going to try this again one day this week and do less and see if I like it better this is a really easy way to get a lot of protein my honest rating would probably be a 5 out of 10 maybe a four but also I feel like that’s my fault because I did too much cocoa powder I think if I did less or had a.
Different yogurt base I think it could get up to like a seven or an eight definitely not bad it is a very pretty bowl at least Le I feel like this entire Vlog is just me in the kitchen but it’s been a little bit and still a little bit hungry and I’m in like a snacky mood so I’m just going to eat a little bit of this boom.
Chicka pop this is my favorite it’s kind of weird because this is my first time ever having to do like a diet specific Focus being gluten-free you just learned that there’s so many different things like even though this is glutenfree doesn’t mean it’s the healthiest option I guess like in my mind I’m like oh gluten- free must be good for you but.
That’s clearly not the case so still do your own research obviously I could probably find something a little bit healthier but since I am picky I have some limited options I’ll check in with you guys in a little bit it is now the afternoon and Noah just got back from the grocery had to go and buy some chicken for our dinner it’s Lally just.
Chicken teriyaki over white rice but it’s seriously one of my favorite meals now but while he was there he grabbed some little treats because Valentine’s Day is tomorrow so I’m having a pre dinner dessert chocolate covered strawberries my absolute favorite he’s got the chicken going I had to Google this.
Earlier traditionally hoisen sauce is glutenfree but Google said that like a lot of Brands these days are including wheat and sadly this one does so this specific sauce is not glutenfree but I’m sure if I went to like Whole Foods and did a little bit of extra searching we could have found a gluten-free option smells so freaking good we just did the.
Chicken over white rice then added some sesame seeds M I think I could eat this every night for dessert tonight I’m doing the Halo top mint chip I think I used show this last night probably going to have another chocolate covered strawberry and a little bit of this and we’ll call it a.
Night hello you guys I did not Vlog at all yesterday because to be honest it was really a big cheat day which I know pretty much defeats the entire purpose of this video but I will say I am still proud of myself for trying out gluten-free options I know I was trying to do a week of glutenfree but as long as I’m like trying new stuff and trying.
To make mostly gluten-free options I will be happy but we are back on the regular schedule and I just got back from a run feeling pretty hungry it’s about 10:00 a.m. right now so I think I’m going to hop in the shower and then we’re going to get to cooking I was going to do eggs in a smoothie but I just realized the blender top is in the.
Wash right now so I’m going to cut up an egg and I think drizzle like peanut butter and do a few chocolate chips I saw that on Pinterest the other day I was going to do eggs this is today’s breakfast got the apples and scrambled eggs I’m going to eat this up cuz I am starving after our run one but I feel like this looks.
Really good I don’t know why I never tried this before 10 out of 10 I’ve not been the best at filming today but Noah brought home a new dessert true FR I swear has the best chocolate covered fruits we usually do the chocolate covered raspberries and then they also have chocolate covered.
Strawberries and today was the first time trying the chocolate covered bananas this one might be a new favorite it’s peanut butter and dark chocolate it’s also gluten-free so it passes the test for today’s video and we’re actually eating the same exact meal that we ate the last time I showed you guys we did the chicken terak again with rice.
Just because it’s so easy to do and it’s my current fixation I know I’m going to be obsessed with this for a few weeks and then be really tired of it but I was just craving it so that’s what we’re doing again for for dinner tonight it just looks so good today is the last day of what I eat in a week and it is almost noon I’m.
Actually so proud of myself for waiting to eat later in the day because you guys know I usually like wake up and eat right away so I’ve really been trying to listen to my body and wait till I actually am hungry so that’s why we haven’t had anything yet but we just pulled up the formula fresh you guys know it’s one of our favorite like.
Health food stores here they have really good sandwiches obviously the Smoothie bowls but I also get toast I do the beach Bowl smoothie Bowl um I’ll try and film like what is in it so if you guys want to recreate it at home you can but we just pulled up so we’re going to go in and get some food.
Yummy I’ll do the Yummy Bowl with honey on you and I I am sitting here editing this video and realized I forgot to finish filming today and forgot to film an outro so I hope you guys enjoyed watching I know this wasn’t like a very strict glutenfree week of meals it was pretty.
Spotty but I do think overall it was just good for me to start implementing gluten-free meals and like swaps where I can um cuz I do know like if you completely cut it out when you go back to trying to have it you can make yourself be gluten intolerant and right now at least to my knowledge I am not I’m just trying to eat less of it so I.
Feel like I did an overall really good job this week I’m going to try and stick to some of the things that I tried and like I’ve said if you have any recommendations for gluten-free specific Brands recipes or anything else that I should try out definitely leave a comment down below and if you enjoyed watching give this video a big thumbs up.
