My Goo-Free Kitchen: Today’s Meals (#4)
April 4, 2025: Scrambled Eggs & Chicken Soup
👋😀 Welcome to My Goo-Free Kitchen!
Each day, I’m sharing the real meals I eat to stay energized, healthy, and feeling my best—no processed junk, no sugar crashes, just nourishing, whole foods.
By documenting what I eat, I’m showing how easy it can be to stay on track with a goo-free lifestyle while still enjoying delicious meals.
Whether you’re looking for meal inspiration or just curious about how to live without ultra-processed ingredients, I hope this gives you practical ideas to implement into your own kitchen.
Let’s dive in!
How I’m Feeling today (Friday 4/4/25):
We started the day a little slow (Friday vibes, you know), but powered up with our custom organic tea blend. We call it…
“Red, Black & Cinnamon”
Assam Banaspaty (black tea)
South African Rooibos (red herbal tea)
a dash of ground cinnamon
a touch of pure honey 👇 (see post on “pure honey”)
a splash of half & half
This reduced caffeine black + herbal tea combo is a true go-to and helped us wake up gently with a little sweet, a little creamy, and an earthy warm flavor.
Brunch – 10:00 AM
As usual, we aren’t big early breakfast people and prefer to wait until our stomachs ask for food.
🍳 Scrambled Eggs + 🍞 Homemade Buns
Today was a good day for homemade buns that Robert baked on Thursday. Yummy!
Scrambled Eggs:
2 jumbo eggs
4 oz pork sausage (cooked and frozen the day before for easy breakfast)
2 brussel sprouts (chopped in slices)
3 mushrooms
mung beans
shredded parmesan (topping)
Homemade Buns
Ingredients: yeast, water, coconut sugar, Himalayan Pink salt, white flour, wheat flour, almond oil, flax seeds, & sliced almonds
a thick slice of Dubliner Sharp Aged Cheddar (about 1.5-2 ounces)
👉 Why I love this meal: Hearty and hot, the scrambled eggs are high in protein and fiber and really “stick” to reduce your appetite for several hours with no sugar spikes. The homemade buns with cheese add a little comfort food happiness.
💡 Goo-Free Tip: If you want the recipe to these homemade buns, leave a comment and I’ll craft a newsletter for next week!
Afternoon Snack – 1:30 PM
Naturally sweet, crunchy, and filling, carrots and peanut butter are a match made in heavy with a lower glycemic index than a PBJ sandwich.
🥕 Carrots & Peanut Butter
Giant spoon of peanut butter — this magical protein-filled legume is the best way to curb your appetite and enjoy a creamy treat in the middle of the day.
2-3 fresh carrots – cut in diagonal slices to make them easier to scoop peanut butter, this crunchy-sweet root vegetable has loads of fiber to keep your stomach busy for a while with no sugar spikes.
👉 Why I chose this snack: Ever since I was little, I have loved carrots and could eat them raw daily. This a great snack combo to keep things new and different, if you are used to eating peanut butter with bread or apples.
💡 Goo-Free Tip: Check your store-bought peanut butter for added oils. Goo-Free peanut butter is typically just peanuts (roasted) with a little salt.
Dinner – 5:30 PM
🐔 Low-Carb Chicken Soup!
We make our own chicken broth by boiling chicken bones and skin from a baked or home-smoked chicken.
Chicken broth
mung beans
red lentils
carrots
celery
black pepper
dried basil
a bit of ground cumin
a dash of Himalayan salt.
👉 Goo-Free Comfort Food: There’s nothing that says “home” like a homemade chicken soup! Leave out the potatoes or noodles to reduce the glycemic index. Beans and lentil have more flavor and keep you satisfied for longer!
💡 Goo-Free Tip: Make the broth yourself to ensure that there’s no processed ingredients. Just boil your chicken bones and scraps from a previous meal, and freeze the filtered liquid for later.
Dessert – 6:00 PM
🍫 25 grams dark chocolate chips! – “chippies” are not just for cookies anymore!
😋 40 grams of raw cashews — raw cashews are a wonderfully nutrient dense dessert compliment to chocolate that you can eat raw.
👉 A dessert tip: The best part of chocolate chips is that you can serve up a precise portion and eat them one at a time to elongate the chocolatey goodness.
💡 Goo-Free Tip: Read the labels on your cashews and make sure that they are not coated in seed oils or other flavor enhancers.
Reflections & Takeaways
✅ Starting the day with hot tea and cream is not exactly fasting, but it’s great for training you body to “wait” - you don’t have to eat right after waking up, despite what commercial food producers tell you.
✅ When coming up with sweet treat ideas for snacks or desserts, think outside the box (of processed Goo) and see if naturally sweet foods will do the trick. If you eat these healthier choices instead of cookies, donuts, or cake enough times, your body will begin to crave processed sugars less.
