WIAW #11

Yay! It be Wednesday already? That's cool, it means I get to share with you my crazy-delicious-colourful-veggie-filled-delicious-savoury-sweet-delicious eats!
Shall we began? (Thanks Peas and Crayons for hosting!)
Breakfasts : (I'm sharing- What I ate Wednesday & all week!)
At the beginning of the week, I wanted oatmeal.. and sort of inspired by this recipe, I made some of this:

It was simply rolled oats + sliced banana + chia seeds + coconut butter + vegan vanilla protein powder, heated on stove with some oat milk until thick (but not dry!)
With a side of..

Mango fro-yo!
And of course, this:

Plus this:

Equals this..

Seriously guys- I have dessert for breakfast everyday!
Next up was an all-time favourite- yep you know what it is...

A peanut butter and banana toastie!
With blueberry frozen yoghurt this time:

1/2 cup plain greek yoghurt + 1 cup thawed blueberries (I had to thaw my frozen ones) whazzed up in a mini food processor :)

You had to see this coming!
Lastly today's brekky- what I actually ate Wednesday!

Overnight oats in a jar
plus a side of sliced apples and some banana cream (greek yoghurt and banana whazzed together!)
Yes, people- I am obsessed with greek yoghurt at the minute- it's the only dairy I can eat that doesn't anger my tum tum and it's awesome!

Now follow these steps very carefully!
Spread some of the 'cream' onto an apple slice:

Keep going, layer after layer:

Then realise you have to much and plop it all on!

Yum yum!

Lunches:
Both of the lunches I happen to have photos of are sandwiches.. that are exactly the same excpet for the bread :)

This one was on a cape-seed roll from Bakers Delight
Grilled veggies, hommus, spinach, veggie patty and salsa- put in a sandwich press :)
That was on the weekend. Today, I woke up at this awesome time and made it again on my home-made wholemeal spelt bread!

Twas good.. but seriously guys, I do eat more than sandwiches! Yesterday I had a millet salad and the day before a big rice veggie bowl!
Snacks:
Yesterday, I wasn't overly hungry, but wanted something to hold me over til' dinner. Maybe some proetin powder and soy milk? But I have no protein shaker thing! Not to fear!

Works just as well! Simply add stuff, screw on lid and shake!
Today I had..

A pear and a tomarillo. Then I took one bite of the tomarillo and proceeded to feed it to my compost bin- blech! It sour and hard to eat- not good!
Dinners:
One night, my tummy was feeling well, so I had an easy dinner of tin tomatoes + beans topped with steamed greens topped with roasted potatoes:

Zumba night was cold roast veggies, quinoa and spinach:

Last night's pasta, chilli pesto, steamed veggies, spinach, peas and mixed four beans:

Topped with vegan cheese :)

And... that's it!
I hope everyone else had fabulous Wednesday eats and don't forget to head on over to Peas and Crayons to check out what everyone else has been nom-ing on! :D

A day in the life of my tummy!

'Yay, finally something other than breakfasts!' I hear the crowd joyfully shout! Haha, have no fear, another breakfast recipe is lined up for your viewing tomorrow.. or the next day... or whenever I get round to it- but have no fear, it's coming!

Any-who I thought it would be nice if you had a taster of the life of my tummy! :)
We started with a green smoothie jar:

Made with:
1 frozen banana
1/2 avocado
2 tablespoons rolled oats
1 tablespoon LSA mix
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 BIG handfuls of spinach :D
some ice
1 tablespoon peanut butter
and a splash of milk ( I used oat) - not too much, I like it thick!

Whaz up in blender... done!
The second reason I wanted it thick, was so I could top it with this:

Overnight oats (muesli soaked in milk (oat for me) over night, then I stirred in some delicious grapes and blueberries.. see:

Doesn't it look pretty- not for long.. mwahahaha!

Yum Yum!
Then the tummy was rewarded with lunch- even after that amazing brekky!

A slice of multi-grain sourdough

Topped with hommus, steamed carrots and sweet potato, sauteed capsicum, tomato and mushrooms, spinach, bean balls and vegan cheese:
Pre-grilled:

Ready to be devoured:

After, my delicious brekky and my scrumptious lunch, I still rewarded my tum tum with an exquisite dinner ( yes I used a thesaurus, I ran out of describing words :)

Cooked quinoa with roasted baby potatoes, pumpkin, parsnip, beetroot and tomatoes with spinach, baby cucumber, toasted seeds and pine nuts, cranberries and grilled corn= yum

So I think my tummy was pretty lucky yesterday and you should spoil yours too with a rainbow assortment of veggies and delicious whole grains and healthy fats- I'm sure your tummy will spoil you back!
Until next time! :)
