Do tortilla chips count as whole grains?

Foods I’ve been eating lately:

  • Kale & fruit smoothies every morning: kale from our garden, 1/2 banana, 1/4 cup frozen mango, juice from half a lime, 2 oz homemade kefir, 2 oz OJ, big scoop of glutamine powder for neuropathy, 1 tsp flax-seed oil for omega 3s.  Gradually adding more & more kale.  I think I would be happy drinking almost anything if it had enough lime juice in it.
  • Wheat berries for breakfast: soaked & cooked, with a bit of fakey butter, maybe a dribble of maple syrup (thanks Charlie P.!) and salt.
  • Kombucha that we make at home, with fruit.  The latest batch has peaches and ginger.
  • 80% dark chocolate.  The best chocolate bar I've had in a long time is this one: Equal Exchange Organic Panama Extra Dark.
  • Shiitake mushrooms
  • Sushi dinners: how cancer-fighting of me! They include these cancer-fighting foods: fatty fish (salmon), seaweed, green tea, sometimes shiitakes. A *must* for the anti-cancer lifestyle.
  • Homemade low-sugar granola.  I have perfected my recipe for almond granola with little enough sugar & oil that it seems reasonable to eat as a main cereal (not just a sprinkle-on-top cereal).  Now my issue is: I can't die anytime soon--who will make healthy granola for my family?
P.S. Well, they do, but they're fried. Except if you make them at home and bake them instead (6 min per side @ 350).

Wait, what are you baking instead of frying?

Wedges of corn tortilla, to make tortilla chips.

I am still following your updates w/great interest & feeling encouraged by all the good reports I'm reading! The Block Center sounds like a wonderful place - so glad you went there. And your very healthy vegan diet seems like what we all should be aiming for.
I will continue to summon the intercession, on your behalf, of all the good health gods out there!

Lots of love,
Alice
