Salmon, Catfish, Sour Soup, Chia Seeds, Flax Seeds

I thought I edited this post and saved the draft on 4/5/2013 so I must have typed this post before that date.

Today's lunch around noon:
First bowl: salmon, wakame seaweed, ginger, garlic, black pepper, cucumber, and spearmint (rau lủi in Vietnamese).
Second bowl - sour soup: catfish, tomato, pineapple, peppermint (bạc hà in Vietnamese), bean sprouts (giá), cilantro (ngò om), and fish sauce.
Smoothie: chia seeds, flax seeds, plain yogurt, and papaya.
Dessert: banana, coconut milk, with a little bit of brown sugar, tapioca flour (bột mì tinh). It's called "chè chuối" in Vietnamese.

Dinner around 7PM:
First bowl: sour soup
A bowl of young coconut water and pulp, aloe vera
Second bowl: sour soup
A bowl of smoothie: chia seeds, papaya, and plain yogurt. I did not add flax seed because I preferred flax seed with banana to papaya. On facebook, Bed Bath and Beyond posted a recipe for smoothie which includes flax seed, banana, and blueberries. I haven't been able to find blueberries yet but I'll keep looking for them until I find them. In the video that I posted on December 20, 2012, blueberries were among the fruits that Dr. Axe's mother has eaten to help her heal cancer when it returned.
