0 gluten free blogger challenge - day 1

This week I'm living gluten free Monday to Friday as part of the Making Sense of Sensitivity Blogger Challenge.  I'll be doing a video diary each day to talk about how I'm finding it all!  Here's my first video, which has a bit more detail about the challenge and why I was interested in taking part.  Overall I think Day 1 has gone quite smoothly, after the rice cake shortage crisis was averted:

So, food what I ate: the gluten free edition is in full swing this week!  Today's eats in pictures:

Breakfast - Smoothie made with fresh strawberries, blueberries, banana, coconut milk and Spiru-tein strawberry protein powder (which is gluten free).

Lunch:  Giant salad (with strawberries!) with balsamic dressing and three rice cakes with peanut butter hummus.

Snack: (unpictured) Raw broccoli florets with peanut butter hummus.

Dinner:  Artichoke and asparagus spaghetti made with gluten free pasta.

Dessert: Yoo Moo frozen yoghurt in Tropicoolmoo flavour (mango and passionfruit) and 1 nectarine.

Day 1 highlight: Dinner was absolutely delicious.  And I didn't feel bloated afterwards which I sometimes do after a pasta meal in the evenings.  I will be curious to see if this trend continues!

Day 1 challenge: Label reading!  And remembering all the things that have gluten in them - like malt vinegar (no salt and vinegar rice cakes for me) and soy sauce.  Just having to think about things a bit more.

Day 1 sum up: Feel very nourished but not stuffed to the seams.  A good day.  Doesn't seem too hard so far (I may be eating those words later in the week....) :D

Tune in tomorrow for the Day 2 video!

Are you a gluten-free-er? Any tips for me? :)
