Hello there friends!!
How has your week been going so far??
Mine has been filled with...
Studying. All the studying. So much studying. And food too, because for some reason I have been ravenously hungry! But that's never really a problem though- as it is such an easy solution- EAT ALL THE FOOD!
So today we celebrate the gloriousness that is food via the super-awesome link-up that is WIAW!! Thanks to Peas and Crayons for creating this awesome link-up!
This particular day was taken from Tuesday, a day of Blogilates workouts, school, school, school, flute lesson, study, and RELAXATION (finally!)
Breakfast: 7:15am
After a fun cardio Blogilats fitness video along with my 30-day fitness challenge, the stomach started grumbling and the body was craving a...
Creamy-dreamy green smoothie!!!
This delicious specimen of food love included a frozen banana, 1/4 rockmelon cut up and frozen, kale, spinach, oats and chia seeds soaked in almond milk, cashew butter and water:
I love adding rockmelon to smoothies as it has a beautiful flavour and adds to the voluminous and thick-ness of the smoothie (and I love slurping up a THICK smoothie!)
Although, always a spoon, just in case:
Nom.
Snack: 11:05am
PEAS
I LOVE PEAS.
Lunch: 1:40pm
By lunch, after 4 periods of school (one being PE) food was on my mind and a delicious lunch was sitting in my locker:
Roasted potato and white sweet potato with drained four beans, lentils and spinach:
Filling, delicious... happy days!
Snack: 4:00pm
Even thought that awesome lunch hit the spot, my stomach was grumbling once again by the time I got home and so a snack was required:
A nashi pear with black gapes and a mug of soy milk:
The rushing off to a flute lesson!
Dinner: 6:45pm
Flute lesson done, a little more studying entailing and dinner time rushing up to me..
Resulting in 2 slices of rye toast, topped with Vegemite, smashed avocado and poached egg, with a side of steamed veg (brussels, pumpkin, beetroot, parsnip):
It's days like these where I absolutely love eating.
I kid, of course. It's everyday that I absolutely love eating!
Finishing off the day with some almond milk warmed up with cinnamon- sweet, creamy and delicious!
And that's what I ate! Lot's of tasty, delicious fruit, veg,whole grains, protein- the body was feeling good!!
What about you?
Have you ever thrown rock melon in a smoothie?
Favourite frozen fruit (besides banana) to chuck in a smoothie?
Are you a 'leave a pumpkin skin on or off' kind of person? I always leave it on- I don't know why I just love the taste?!
I hope you all have a lovely rest of your day (however much rest of it there is left), smile lots, laugh even more and as always; eat something delicious! Bye for now!! :D
Practically everything you ate today was green! I love the color scheme you have going on, haha. ;)

I've never even had a rock melon! Do they taste like honeydew? I'll have to keep an eye out!
ReplyDeleteLiz,
DeleteSimilar shape/ appearance as honeydew, but in my opinion 10 times better! They are sweeter and have their own distinct flavour :)

Always leave the skin on! Also, how else do you eat Vegemite?

In regards to vegemite, I have it on sandwiches, toast, crumpets, or spread on crackers :)
