Lunch Ideas - Creating Balanced Vegetarian Meals

the sciatica and piniformis act up, and the laptop was also acting up..so took the break..

have been eating right, and looks like a drop in measurements.. helps that I am on the ditch the scale phase..

a few pics.. lunch and my dinner..

cauliflower stalks kootu, ladies finger baji and rasam and rice and salads.

mango dal, beans, brinjal sabji, mango pickle, salads and rice.

forgot to click a pic of the tempered muthiyas.. makai atta+sooji+wheat atta muthiyas..with coriander and some cabbage.

 

juices and water.. @SunPa , @shodin ..hiya.. I have begun drinking..oh boy the sudden surge in temp is so bad..

celery, lemon and green apple..green
beets and carrot - red
turmeric, ginger and amla the yellow

infused water.. cucumber, ginger and mint and lemon slices

orange slices, parsley and ginger..

 

this is a energy bar, I recently made for my daughter..the sneaky mom that I am, and her stress induced hormone imbalance, there is sesame and flax seeds that are said to help balance.

so this has palm jaggery roasted sesame both white and black (with skin), roasted flax, some roasted gram, roasted chia.. flavored with some dry ginger powder and cardamom powder..stays well for a month and more.. you can mix and match nuts, cereals.. the trick is the success of the jaggery syrup and well roasted grains and seeds..

 

@SunPa, all the three ingredients are fresh, juiced through a cold press.. only glitch it stains.. i also run it in mixie one by one..and strain..(Reason i use the amla and ginger along with coriander to make a thokku..mean mom lol)

and try the bar, it is nutritious and no mess one..

 

lemon, pomegranate, mint
apple, parsley, ginger and a slice of lemon ..

just to make drinking water in summer interesting.. the infused water is a way to go.. i also drink cumin, ginger and fennel infused..but sharing this in case someone wants to..


bittergourd saute, bottlegourd sabji, pepper curry leaves rasam, salads, mint chutney.. buttermilk ..

 

don't go too low love, you will be able to work it out.. keep the balance.. i love the colors and balance.. where did lunch go.. have a salad..it can just be some cucumbers, and a few pieces of carrots.. ..don't let the brain think you are starving, it is where the yo-yo happen.. i am fasting today, but i keep up with the liquids and water in such a way, that the brain is trained to feel full.. i do have juices, milk so technically it is not starving..

there are no boos boos at all satchi.. enjoy them without any guilt...
