Wisdom Teeth

So, I just got my wisdom teeth out eight days ago. If you know me, you know that I'm really specific on what I eat, and the list that the oral surgeon gave me was 95% not applicable for me. So, here's how I made it through the first seven days.

Natural Apple Sauce

Egg Whites

Chicken Soup & Chicken Noodle Soup
(pretty much minus the chicken, veggies and noodles)

Panera Bread's Black Bean Soup
(no whole grain baguette, unfortunately, and not many beans!)

Protein Shakes.. All day, Everyday
I even got smart and started putting espresso in to get my coffee fix
mix in variations included: banana, pear, sunflower seed butter, All One Vitamins & Minerals, almond milk, stevia, cinnamon, and Sunwarrior Protein Powder

and that pretty much sums it up! Bland, completely liquid, but my check up today at the oral surgeon said that I'm healing AMAZINGLY.. So, I'm assuming that I've done something right. It also was not the worst pain that I've ever felt, so if you need to get your wisdom teeth out, don't be scurred, homie!

Protein Pancakes

I've been wanting to post this one for a while, but life gets away from you sometime!

Ingredients
  • 1/4 Cup Egg Whits
  • 1 Scoop Protein Powder (I use Sunwarrior)
  • 2 tbsp Almond Milk
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp Ground Flaxseed
Mix ingredients together, then mash half a small banana and whisk it into mix.




Next, poor into a pan that has been sprayed with olive oil cooking spray and heat on Medium. Cook the first side until you see it start to bubble, and then carefully flip over until that side is done.


Cook it like a normal pancake.

You can top with anything! I use the second half of my banana, cinnamon, and sunflower seed butter. It is SO good and filling! Even Ashley liked it.. Try it!

Final Product!
