Yogaglamgirl on Another funky Japanese-style breakfast

I’m trying to bring more seaweed into my diet. My iridologist told me I’m low on sodium and iodine? Shoot, can’t quite remember, but I do remember that Nori (which is super healthy regardless) was a good remedy.
So here’s my Sunday morning feast: Homemade Veggie Sushi

Here are the ingredients for today:
Nori (dried seaweed, used for sushi rolls)
Rice (I use short grain Japanese rice)
Sweet Rice Vineagar (sometimes I add sugar to the rice vineagar over low heat before using 1-2 spoonfuls mixed into the rice),
Ume (pickled plum…highly alkaline, very good for digestive system)
Shiso (Japanese basil)
Daikon Sprouts
Green Onion
Inari (fried bean curd)

Yogaglamgirl's Breakfast Smoothies, a Morning Ritual

Here's a small piece of my morning routine in the summertime...
Breakfast Smoothie

1 banana frozen
1 handful of fresh fruit (strawberry, mango, peach, etc)
1 cup soy milk
splash of OJ

Add to blender and Voila!
I usually keep a stash of frozen fruit in the freezer.  Banana, berries, etc, cut in bit size pieces--easier to blend in the blender. 
Other additions/variations I like:
add scoop of soy ice cream
add spoonful of nut butter (cashew butter, almond butter)
add some chocolate syrup :)
