I hope you're all having a fabulous week so far- we're halfway through!!- and are ready for some FOOOD! Why? Because on Wednesday’s we drool over everyone else’s eats in the hope of gaining inspiration, ideas and possibly (and more accurately), a reason to scroll mindlessly through pictures of food.
Not that I really need a reason. It’s my favourite
past-time.
Alrighty, now that I’ve creeped everyone out, let’s move on
to this week’s WIAW. Thanks as always to Peas and Crayons for creating this awesome link-up!
This specific day of eats is from Monday, the day of my
school’s sports carnival (and yes, I was running in a few events!)
To fuel me through the day I decided to have a hearty
breakfast of a super big green smoothie with all the fix-ins:
Frozen banana, frozen zucchini, frozen avocado, soaked
rolled oats (1/3 cup rolled oats + teaspoon chia seeds, soaked in ½ cup almond
milk for 10-15mins), peanut butter, vanilla protein powder, spinach and water-
all whizzed up until smooth, creamy and delicious!
Snack: 11:30am
As the day was a little disjointed with ‘scheduled eating
times’ (typical to a regular day at school) I had my snack at around 11:30am
(after my long jump and 800m run) which was a nice pot of peas and corn:
Again with the disjointed times and not wanting to compete on a full stomach, I waited until after my 100m sprint (I CANNOT sprint to save my life and as a result came 2nd…. Last J ) and 400m sprint? Yeh, let’s call it a sprint, I positively inhaled my lunch. Probably around 1:40 pm ish.
A huge container of spelt pasta, steamed veg (pumpkin,
parsnip, swede, purple carrot) spinach, chickpeas, nutritional yeast and no-added-salt
tomato paste.
Yes, it is as big as it looks. Yes I ate the whole thing par
a couple pieces of steamed swede as I was reminded I’m not actually too fond of
steamed swede (much prefer it roasted!)
My last event was about an hour later- a 4 X 100m relay (yep
another sprint, which I didn’t do too well at (You may/may not be surprised to
learn that I made the team… for the 1500m and 800m only J ) and then it was home time.
More importantly- food time! I was in need of some food!
Enter my afternoon ‘fruit and milk’ snack of a sliced fuji
apple, black grapes (so good!) and a mug of soy milk.
Dinner: 6:45pm
I felt kinda funny and sort of sick for the remainder of the
day (I was quite sunburnt and probably a little low on water) so when dinner
rolled round I didn’t really feel like anything. Enter what I managed to throw
together:
A baked sweet potato with coconut butter and cinnamon and a
side of steamed Brussels. Coz why not?
I sort of got some appetite back and had a small handful of
nuts. Then I was done. Physically, mentally, sunburnt-ly done! I collapsed on
the couch, watch some telly and then BED!
So that’s what I ate!!
Tell me:
Are you a sprinter or a long distance runner? I used to be a
sprinter… now I’m most definitely not!
Favourite lunch to fuel a busy/ tiring day?
Ever just feel like a baked sweet potato with coconut
butter/ nut butter and that’s it? This happens a little too often with me!
I hope you all have a great day, do something you love to do
and of course eat something delicious! Bye for now friends!! :D
