A "what I eat in a day" video from STRONG BY SIM. The brands (Nordica, Organic Meadow, Greenhouse, Four O'Clock) suggest Canada.

Breakfast is a Siggi's 0% yogurt bowl with blueberries, blackberries, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, goji berries and honey, plus an iced honey latte made with cream and cinnamon. Lunch is a plate of 3 hard-boiled eggs with pepper, roasted sweet potato, arugula, half an avocado and a kiwi, with a small glass of pure cranberry juice topped up with coconut water. After a workout they have a shake of banana, hemp hearts, peanut butter, a date, 1% cottage cheese and milk. Dinner is 3 crispy corn-tortilla tacos with ground beef and melted cheese, topped with pico de gallo, a creamy pink sauce and lime, served with S.Pellegrino and lime. The day ends with a few pieces of dark chocolate and a peppermint tea. The audio is music only.
