Hello, welcome back to my slow English vlog. Today, I'm going to be showing you what I eat in a day.
I'm not sure why so many people are interested in this topic. Today, I started with buying a juice
from the market near my house. This is a carrot and orange juice. I love the combination
of carrots with orange juice. The orange juice is sweet and the carrots are creamy. So together,
it creates a sweet and creamy drink. I also added a scoop of creatine
because I normally make a banana smoothie. But today, I decided to just stick with my juice.
I normally don't eat much for breakfast, but I eat an early lunch. I eat lunch around
11 or 12, usually also something light. Before anything though, I wake up and I drink water.
I usually get hungry around 10 a.m., if not earlier, like nine. I'm not starving,
but I'm getting hungry. I'm getting there. I usually don't have an appetite for breakfast,
for big breakfasts. A lot of people that I know eat eggs for breakfast every morning.
But to me, that's a little bit too heavy. It makes me feel nauseous a little bit
to think of eating eggs first thing in the morning. I need my smoothie, my banana smoothie,
you guys know, or a juice, something light. Something light in the morning satisfies me.
And after this, I have an appointment at the dermatologist to check my skin, my acne.
Then I'll come home and eat a salad that I have in the fridge. It's been waiting for me.
So I'm excited because today my lunch is prepared. Usually I have to prepare everything on the day
or at the moment, but I'm excited for this salad. I'll show you guys a sneak peek of my lunch.
I'm so excited. I bought this yesterday for dinner, or no, for lunch. But it's so big,
I didn't finish it. And I knew I was like, I'll have lunch for tomorrow as well. And I also have
a leftover coffee. So I'll be having this later for lunch as well. Although I am feeling a little
peckish, like I could eat something very light. I think I'll need it because I'm biking. I'm taking
the bike to the dermatologist and I might be hungry when I get there. And then I'll be like,
grumpy or in a bad mood because I'm hungry. Maybe I could make a smoothie. I could have a smoothie
and a juice. That sounds good, right? Let's do that. So let me show you guys once again,
everything I add. It's 9.30 right now. I need to hurry if I'm going to make it to my
dermatologist appointment. So let's do this quick. One banana, a handful of spinach.
By the way, guys, look at this cheesecake. It's so cool. Look at that. It's so cool.
I got this yesterday for dinner. Well, like for dessert. It looks better than it tastes.
It doesn't taste that good, but look how amazing that looks. Oh, I had to try it.
I might have this for dessert in the afternoon. Then I usually add creatine, but
I obviously already added creatine to my juice, so there's no need. I'll just add some kefir.
I love kefir. And half a spoon of this protein, the blueberry flavor. It's really good.
And that's it. Now we blend. And I just drink it straight out of the blender.
I thought I wasn't going to have my smoothie today, but I ended up having it.
Is there anything that you think you won't do, but you always end up doing?
Tell me in the comments. Now, I love my banana smoothies with protein powder, banana, spinach,
peanut butter, because it's filling. It's filling. Keeps me full. It doesn't make me feel stuffed
to the brim, but it's filling. What's a meal you have for breakfast that keeps you feeling
satisfied? Not too full, but not too hungry, either. All right, guys. I'm going to finish
this smoothie, my juice as well. And then I'm going to bike to my appointment. I'll bike back.
And then it'll probably be time for lunch, because we eat all day long. It's all we do
as humans. We just eat and eat and eat. And I love it. I love eating so much. It's my favorite part
of the day. So, I'll see you guys at lunch. All right. I lock my door. I take off my hat.
And I want to show you guys the facial products that I got for my skin, because I've got
some irritation. My skin is irritated. So, I got a prescription from the dermatologist
and some expensive facial products, as usual. So expensive. Life is expensive.
While I was out, I didn't eat anything. I'm very hungry right now, because I rode the bike.
You know, it was a lot of energy. So, let's eat. So, we're having leftovers. Like I said,
a salad and my leftover coffee from yesterday. Oh, and my juice.
I didn't end up finishing my juice. So, I'll have it now. I love juice.
Juice gives me so much more energy than coffee. What's something that gives you
more energy than something else? For example, coffee gives me more energy than tea. Or you
could change up the sentence a little bit and say, salad is healthier than pizza. But pizza
makes me feel fuller than salad does. Switch it up. Add your sentences in the comments.
And I'll let you know if you're right or wrong. So, I want you guys to see my setup here.
Usually, I'll put on a YouTube video. I'm actually learning sign language,
because I want to be able to like show you guys the real signs. So far, I learned no,
yes, understand, don't understand, ask me, ask him, ask her, teach, teacher, learn, learner,
person. I think that's what it was. Don't correct me if I'm wrong. And nice to meet you.
I really like that one. Nice to meet you. So, I'm learning. I'm learning, guys.
I want to show you guys this all in my videos. I want to be able to say, to sign correctly
for you guys to also learn sign language while you're learning English with me.
So, I usually just watch a video on YouTube while I eat. That's what I'm going to do right now.
I'm going to eat my salad. I don't want anything too heavy right now for lunch.
But this is actually really filling. It's really filling. And it's sweet and salty. It's got
falafel. It's got beets. It's got mushrooms. It's got sweet potato. It's got, it's got some of
this. I forget what this is called, like noodles or like pasta. Yeah, this looks amazing. I'm so
excited. So, this is lunch, guys. Coffee, juice, leftover salad, everything's leftover. And I will
see you guys when I eat next. So, guys, I'm about to record an episode for the Slow English Podcast.
And I'm snacking a little bit. These are like dried strawberries with like spicy stuff on them.
They're so good. These ones are my favorite. Then there are these ones. They're mangoes.
Amazing. And finally, cherries. So good. But the best part is the combination of these three.
Amazing. But yeah, so that's what I ate. I'm snacking on right now before my video.
And then after this, maybe I'll make some dinner and I'll show you guys. All right, see you later.
Hello. I'm done recording. You guys might think that this is early, too early to be having dinner.
But I have early dinner. What can I say? So, I'll show you guys what I have for dinner.
And then maybe I'll have a snack at night. But yeah, right now I'm hungry. So, I decided to eat.
So, I'll show you guys what I eat. All right, guys, let me show you what I have here.
Because this is an interesting mix that I'm about to make. That is actually very famous
with the people that know me. Because I eat this every single day. Every day. I'm not kidding.
I'll give you guys instructions on how to make it. But basically, these are the ingredients.
Okay, so we have spinach, frozen tuna, one avocado, one lime, a little bit of like a little
sliver, I think a slice of purple onion, and some broccoli. We're gonna make the best combination
ever. Ever. So, we'll start with our pan. So, I start by chopping up my garlic.
I usually have music on and I'm dancing while I cook. But YouTube demonetized me in my last video,
so I have to be careful now. There we go. So, in my pan, I'll put one scoop coconut oil. I'll just
use all of it, whatever. Spoons I got from Thailand. I love these spoons. And then we heat
this up for a little bit. So, while the coconut oil is heating up, I'm pretty sure I've shown you
guys this before. Like, I eat this a lot. Just a little slice of, um, I don't know. Is this red
onion or purple onion? Actually, I'm not completely sure. I don't know why. I think I call this red
onion, right? I don't know. I think I've always said this in Spanish. Cebolla morada. Is this
purple onion or red onion? I don't know. Sorry guys, some things I don't, I don't know in English
because I've only ever said them in Spanish. Mix it up until it's all golden. Now let's move over
here. I'll chop up some broccoli. Just into little pieces here. Guys, tell me what songs you're
listening to lately. I've been listening to Latin Mafia and Rousowski way too much. I feel like
everybody's tired of being around me because I just listen to that all day. It's getting really
annoying, but I love them. I love their new album. I love their old albums. Makes me really happy.
Okay, so we got this going. I'm gonna turn down the heat just a little bit.
Um, I usually like to just put stuff away as I go. There's not too much. All right, now we get our next
pan. Next pan. Set this on a burner. All right, I'm looking for the best angle for you guys.
Um, and now I'm gonna get some of this tuna and we're gonna put this in here so that I can start
melting because it's frozen. You see? It's frozen. This weekend was really fun. I went to see some
friends in my hometown that I hadn't seen in a really long time. Today was like such a great day.
I didn't do much. Like, I just hung out. You know, I went to my dermatologist appointment.
The thing is, like, I was feeling a little sick. Oh yeah, so after, after lunch actually, I was
having my salad and then all of a sudden I just like started feeling this deep, deep pain here
in my shoulder and it just like went all the way around to the other side and like my whole back
was just like cramped up. I was like, I couldn't move. I like, I grabbed my computer and like I
walked to the bed. I was like, ah, I was like screaming the whole time and then finally I
laid down and I was just like, I lay there with my computer and it really hurt. Like, I was actually
like moaning in pain for a while. Just like, ah, and then finally like, um, after maybe like 10
minutes of laying there, it went away and it was okay. I thought I was gonna have to like put like
Icy Hot. Do you guys know what Icy Hot is? It's like the cream that's like icy but it's also hot.
You know what I'm talking about? And then I thought I would need ibuprofen but I was okay.
I felt better just like that. All right, let's put this lid on and then warm this up a little
to kind of defrost it. But yeah, so that happened and then I just worked on my computer. I actually,
I recorded, well, I wrote a lot. So like, I was looking at a lot of YouTube videos, channels, like
getting inspiration from these people and then, you know, I remembered like what I should be doing
and I should be making more positive content. You know, more talking about the good side of things
and like kind of sharing my mindset with you guys because I know that's what you love. Like, you
love my videos because of that. So I was thinking, I'm like, I think, I think I need to continue like
thinking of better ideas and like better scripts and more original content and also I was thinking
of different ways to to make the classes, the videos engaging and fun and you can learn something
from them but also have a good time, you know? So yeah, it was really nice. I wrote a lot and then I
recorded like three videos and then what else did I do? I finished a lot of different chores that I
had to do like with the bank and with different like ads and sponsorships and emails and stuff and
yeah, I just did that and now it's time to eat. I'm excited. I didn't go to the gym. I usually feel
really guilty about not going to the gym but I feel okay right now. If you guys understood this,
you guys are at an amazing level by the way because I'm speaking really fast. I'm sorry.
I'll speak slower. Almost done, guys. Almost done. So you guys know this is my bag of chapulines.
Insert a chapuline. They're crickets. I love crickets. They're salted. They're delicious.
They're amazing but I sprinkle some sesame seeds, semillas de girasol in Spanish. Sesame seeds in
here and then I add a little sprinkle of crickets on top and a little handful of spinach of course.
So with the limes, you want to roll them up. Get those juices ready to be squeezed out.
So cut my lime. All done. Yeah, you guys know I love lime. I cannot live without lime. I love
lime. Lime loves me. Oh yeah, that's a good one. I love lime and lime loves me.
Like this video and subscribe to my channel to learn with me every single week. This is how you
could be learning English. Learn English with me. You won't regret it. Yay. Let me show you guys
what that looks like. So that's like the meat right now. It's like tuna and shrimp. I'll come
back when it's done guys. See you in a little bit. Okay guys, like I'm back. I put on music
unfortunately and I was you know swaying a little bit, moving my shoulders but I realized I can't.
My neck is starting to hurt again. It's really sore. I think yesterday it's because I did a
workout and I didn't properly stretch. So yeah, it's a little sore. I think yeah, that's too bad.
That sucks. But hey, that's all right. I can dance any other day of the week and that way I can show
you guys. It's ready. Okay, this has a little bit left but it's also almost done. Now while I wait
for that last little bit to be done, I always like to make my bowl. So I grab a bowl. Sorry guys, I
can't really turn. I grab a little bit of an avocado. Okay, how about there? I'm squatting. Now with my
avocado, we slice it in two and we scoop out the insides. Okay and then I use a full avocado always
because one half is not enough. So we get the core out. You got to go in hard. Boom. Like a pro. I eat
avocados every single day. One at least. At least one every day. And now we mash this up. Guys, this is
literally the best meal ever. You'll see. Get it all mashed up to perfection. So we just go ahead and
add our veggies to that mix, to our avocado mashed, our mashed avocado bowl. You guys know I eat this
every single day. It's actually just like a joke at this point. And we have some of this but I don't
add all of it because you don't really need all of it. I feel like it's too much if you add all of it. So I
like add half. And then we squish that up. It's a little bit too big this time. It's okay. Mmm, look at that.
Beautiful. Beautiful. Wow. And today I'm feeling a little crazy so let's add in some of these crickets.
Mmm. My favorite, favorite part of the day. When I get to eat this avocado bowl, sit down and watch
YouTube. It's like there's nothing better in the world right now. Oh, I get broccoli, tuna, spinach, avocado.
A cricket. Mmm. Mmm. Amazing. Salmas. I just love these. They're so simple. You know, it's just like to add a little
bit of texture. It's just like a little crunch. So like if I just make a little something here, add everything
to it, and then squeeze some lime. Thank me in the comments after you've tried this bowl. Insane.
It doesn't have to be broccoli. It doesn't have to be spinach. It doesn't have to be tuna even. It's just an
avocado bowl. I just mix all my favorite things in there and I love it so much. Guys, thank you for
watching. Thank you for joining me today. You guys made my day. I mean, it was so fun just having you guys
tag along with me along my day. We ate together. We had breakfast, snacks. Well, we had breakfast, lunch,
snacks, and dinner together. Maybe I'll show you if I have something else, but usually it's just like
Doritos or something. Like chips at night. But yeah, thank you guys for joining me. Remember to
