I always thought that MSG was a scam because there was something about it that made you crave more of it - you know, it's on Doritos and other addictive snack foods and stuff. But really I think it's just a kind of salt.
Burritos are def not a food I would seek out if hungry, but they do sound practical if you have access to a fridge and a microwave during the day. Kombucha with chia seeds, though, I've never even heard of that and googled it - I'm intrigued. And I'm not sure if that counts as a beverage. I do like iced green tea though. I only like iced tea I've brewed at home, actually. I think it's because when it's bottled it has a lot of sugar in it.
For breakfast I've been eating a Special K protein bar and a piece of fruit - I used to have rice and an egg (with some butter) and some dried seasoning like thyme or tarragon or something - delicious, and never upset my stomach, but I decided it was too many calories. I'm more used to finding calorically dense things to eat, since I always was so so skinny and never hungry, trying to limit my calories has been kind of a challenge.
Hm, a healthy recipe... I know how to make a really good black bean salad that is nice to keep in the fridge and eat some every day. It's more of a late summer food, cause it uses fresh corn (must be fresh, not canned) and tomatoes, but here is how it's made: one can of black beans, some cooked corn cut off the cob, chopped tomatoes, diced avocado, diced poblano pepper, fresh cilantro, lime juice, mixed up in a bowl. I've eaten it on a rice bowl, fried with an egg, on toast, on lettuce, in curry sauce, in a pasta salad, just as it is... it's pretty versatile, and entirely delicious. I'm really big on making a big bowl of something and eating it many different ways until it's done, but now that there are so many people in my house my food all gets eaten in a day or two!
