I hope your week has been chugging along nicely and can you believe it's Wednesday already!
Anywho, Wednesdays are about sharing glorious full days of eats, drooling over other people's glorious full days of eats and linking up WIAW style! All thanks to the wonderful Peas and Crayons for creating this weekly link-up :)
Breakfast: 7:15am
Brekky this morning brought me back to my childhood...
When I was little I used to love Nutrigrain (Iron Man Cereal!!) However I did not like Nutrigrain when it got soggy- ie. placed in milk. So my oh-so-clever solution was to pour my bowl of Nutrigrain, pour a seperate glass of milk and enjoy the two separately... together?
I still got the taste of cereal and milk, however with the added benefit of an always dry, always crunchy piece of cereal!
So, how does this relate to this morning's brekky? Well I did it again! A little more Steph 2 Chef style though this time:
You can find the recipe for the peanut butter granola here and the smoothie was a simple blend of frozen banana, frozen mango, kale, spinach, greek yoghurt and frozen zucchini with a touch of water to get it all moving.
This breakfast did not dissapoint, however it's not to say I'm moving on from my beloved smoothie bowls :D
Nope, just taking a break...
And having a little too much fun with the thickness of my smoothie and it's resulting capabilities:
:P
Lunch: 12:30pm
So recently the hangry monster has been visiting my belly, so lunches have been a little earlier and involving a few snacks while I create it (think nomin on a carrot whilst cooking up other veg).
Today wano different. Come 12 o'clock and I was ready for food!
Enter high fiber spaghetti with grilled eggplant, capsicum, tomatoes, mushrooms and pumpkin with steamed spinach and garlic tofu:
A few blobs of hommus were also stirred in afterwards fro good measure :)
And for some reason I still wasn't entirely satisfied after that bowl of deliciousness so I had a small square of dark chocolate to round out lunch.
Snack: 4:00pm
At around 4 I noticed my stomach started to
Hello perfectly ripe rockmelon and pink lady apple. Gte into my belly!
Perfect pick-me-up to carry me through to dinner.
Dinner: 6:45pm
I was quite hungry again come dinner (seriously guys, I'm telling you! I'm gonna blame it on the increase in muscles I've started getting from my blogilates videos and fitness challenges :) so I roasted up some sweet potato, parsnip, beetroot, swede, baby carrots and brussels sprouts in coconut oil for 45 mins.
To the roasted veg I added some broad beans, corn and mixed four beans:
Quite tasty if I do say so myself!
To round out the day and keep my stomach quiet throughout the night I had a cup of soy milk.
All in all a very tasty and nutritious day filled with a lot of good eats!!
Aaaaand that's what I ate!
Your turn:
What did you eat this fine Wednesday?
Are you a fan of soggy cereal? My brother is. He actually pours his milk into his cereal and then goes and takes a shower so it's a soggy cereal gloop. I can't even imagine eating it!
What do you nom on when you can't keep the hunger bug at bay? I kind of try and make myself snack on veg, but sometimes it's just not what the body wants. Soy milk, seems to be pretty good at quieting the monster though!
That's it from me today folks. I hope you have a loevely rest of your day and week. Do something you love doing that you haven't done in a while and tell someone you love them- everyone needs to hear that once in a while! Oh and... EAT SOMETHING DELICIOUS! Bye for now!! :D
That fruit plate looks DELICIOUS!
