A teacher's realistic 'what I eat in a day' with no speech, only on-screen text. Before school they make baked pumpkin sourdough french toast. It has maple cinnamon butter and chocolate chips, and they drink a maple vanilla salted quad-shot iced cortado with it. The cortado is made with whole milk over ice in a mason jar. At their desk they have a string cheese stick. Lunch is a container of vegetable barley soup with marinated beets. Lunch dessert is plain Greek yogurt with peanut butter, plus Medjool dates stuffed with the yogurt, peanut butter and dark chocolate chips.
