Before you get too concerned that I only ate salad on Valentine's Day, please note that these 'eats' are from Monday. Tuesday? Well, let's just say chocolate and wine was involved...
Figure 1. Pre-run fuel: 1/2 banana and coffee. Are you guys sick of seeing this yet?
Figure 2. Breakfast: a bowl of Kashi GoLean Original mixed with Post Great Grains Raisins, Dates, and Pecans cereal, 1/2 sliced banana, and almond milk.
Figure 4. Afternoon snack: plain Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, and cinnamon.
Figure 5. Dinner: a salad beast so large that I don't even want to talk about it. Let's just say I couldn't finish it - and I may not eat salad the rest of the week. This beast contained mixed greens, spinach, raw cabbage, grape tomatoes, onions, cucumber, yellow bell pepper, a Morningstar chicken patty, peanuts, chopped dates, hummus, and balsamic vinegar.
Figure 6. Dessert: a bowl of dry Quaker Oat Bran cereal (look for a cereal experiment review this week) with cinnamon.
And that concludes another What I Ate Wednesday (featuring what I ate Monday, February 13).
mmmm missing golean. Seriously my favourite cereal because of all the different textures. I always mix it with fruit and a cup of wheat puffs. I MISS THAT!
ReplyDeleteI miss huge salads as well. I'd have to run to the shops daily (or twice daily) if I wanted to have salad the way I love it at home.
cereal experiment? I'm keen!
go lean is pretty fantastic (when mixed with other cereal). plus it is great for you. yes, check out the cereal experiment if you haven't already! you would appreciate it!
DeleteI approve of your monstrous salad beasts. That being said, I can't believe I've never tried cabbage in my salad beasts until this week - I attribute it to avoiding uncooked veggies most of the time, but they taste really good. Good to hear your cereal experiment's still ongoing!
ReplyDeletei love the crunch of the raw cabbage.
DeleteGeez that salad is a monster. But it does look really good! Did you try to eat your cereal with chop sticks? ;)
ReplyDeleteha, very funny! no cereal i can actually eat slow. plus how would i get any milk? ;)
Deletemmm all your eats look delicious!! salad beasts are the best :)
ReplyDeleteWe use Kashi GoLean crunch in our Greek yogurt instead of granola. And that salad btw is epic
ReplyDeleteit is epic. you are right.
DeleteWe need to see an item in the picture next to the beastly salads for scale.
ReplyDeletegood point. next time, i'll do this. but just imagine - this is a full scale large mixing bowl. and it is almost full.
DeleteBoth salads have me drooling!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou sure did well with the veggies that Jenn is promoting this month! That's an awesome salad beast!
ReplyDeleteYour afternoon snack is THE BOMB!! You've inspired my breakfast for tomorrow NOM NOM NOM :D
ReplyDeleteyay! glad to inspire!
DeleteYour bowl of cereal looks DELISH! I'm such a fan of Kashi cereal. Looks like a delicious day of eats. Mine were healthy as well and saved my V-Day cupcake for tonight. Just wasn't feeling it last night. HA!
ReplyDeleteMmm pumpkin + Greek yogurt looks so good.
ReplyDeleteHuge salads always turn me off...I don't know how some of the bloggers eat it for like 2 out of 3 meals every day. Yours sounds really good though! Dates in a salad? Hey...if it works ;)
haha! dates in salads are really fantastic!
DeleteWhat a delicious looking snack- I'm craving pumpkin now! And both your salads look great too- I need one of those after all my sweets yesterday :-)
ReplyDeleteI never imagined I would see the word salad and beast in the same sentence...and twice lol. LOVE the greek yogurt, pumpkin puree snack. Stealing that idea.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, you just gave me the biggest Kashi craving. I so rarely eat cereal, but theirs are so good and hearty. mmmm.
ReplyDeleteYour eats look a-maazing! I am LOVING greek yoghurt at the moment, your snack looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteAs always, your eats look so so good! I am loving your big bowl of Greek yogurt, pumpkin and cinnamon as a snack. I love that you put peanuts on your salad..I'm going to do that from now on! :)
ReplyDeletepeanuts on a salad is a truly remarkable combination! can't wait to see it on your blog!
DeleteYour salads are a thing of beauty! I'm not surprised you couldn't finish that dinner one... it looks so delish I may have forced it down though. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha...too much salad can definitely turn you off of it for a while. But it's only a matter of time until you're back on the wagon!
ReplyDeleteyeah...i'm pretty sure i might have one today.
DeleteYour breakfast is perfect... I know it's just a bowl of cereal but that is like my favorite thing ever... especially with the Go Lean! Great eats here! I can understand being a bit turned off salad after a sh*t ton of it!
ReplyDeletehaha! i did eat a shi*t ton!
