Figure 1. Breakfast: a bowl of Kashi GoLean Original mixed with Quaker Oatmeal Squares, 1/2 sliced banana, and almond milk.
Figure 2. Mid-morning snack: a Pink Lady apple and almonds.
Figure 3. Lunch (for the camera): a spinach and raw cabbage salad topped with grape tomatoes, raw broccoli & cauliflower, pickled beets, toasted pecans, chopped dates, hummus, balsamic vinegar, and s & p.
Figure 4. Lunch (in reality): this salad got even larger with addition of more raw cabbage/broccoli/cauliflower and added to a mixing bowl so it didn't fall all over the floor upon tossing/eating.
Figure 5. Afternoon snack: dry Quaker Oatmeal Squares and almonds.
Figure 6. Dinner: a baked sweet potato topped with leftover 'healthier' turkey meatballs alongside roasted cabbage. Just so you know, meatballs + sweet potato = perfection.
Figure 7. Dessert: this 'Gent' chocolate (milk chocolate with an almond praline filling, blended with roasted almond bits). You know when something is so good it forces you to close your eyes so you can savor it that much more? This little treat did just that.
And that concludes another What I Ate Wednesday (featuring what I ate Monday, January 16).
Loving all your eats, especially the gargantuan bowls of salad. And, of course, cereal. ;)
ReplyDeletehaha i knew you would appreciate that salad!
DeleteYour eats look so healthy and balanced! A perfect combination of flavors if you ask me :) Loving the salad beast too, the bigger the better haha
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tessa. Love that you think it is balanced because I try really hard to eat that way. My boyfriend mocks my salad 'beasts' but I knew my bloggy friends would understand. :)
DeleteOh man, that chocolate...sounds to die for! I'm closing my eyes and savoring just based off your description ;)
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Glad you are savoring my chocolate description!
DeleteHappy WIAW, Sara! :) Loving your eats, like always!
ReplyDeleteThose Quaker oatmeal squares were a favorite of mine when I was younger. I need to get my hands on some again, they are soo good! And I love an apple and almonds as a snack. :)
Yummu eats! I love those quakers cereals!
ReplyDeleteMeatballs & Sweet Potatoes - that's not a combination I would have thought of! I have been meaning to try a lentil version of meatballs, I'll have to consider the sweet potatoes when I finally do. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of meatball sweet potato combo! sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteOK that chocolate is making me drool right now! Chocolate always photographs so well ;). That salad beast looks amazing too!
ReplyDeleteYum! I'm thinking of making me some sweet potato as we speak. Your eats look delish!
ReplyDeleteI think you're right that we have the same mixing bowl! Perfect for a giant salad :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! I thought so!
DeleteAll your eats look yummmyy! I have a 'salad bowl' I use only for salad beast haha. I loveee it because it's clear and I can see all the colorful veggies in it! :)
ReplyDeleteloving all your eats! i always eat ginormous salads but take a picture before i mix it all up and it looks more unappetizing (but tastes more delicious!) :)
ReplyDeleteI love how your bananas look in your cereal bowl- almost melted. Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteYum! I'm in love with everything.
ReplyDeleteDry cereal is my favorite snack- it always hits the spot. (:
I do the exact same thing with my salads! After I mix it all up it looses all camera appeal haha
