Figure 1. Pre-run fuel: 1/2 banana and 1/2 mug of coffee. Yes, I was recently given a my less serious life coffee mug and it makes me very, very happy.
Figure 2. Breakfast: a bowl of Kashi GoLean Original mixed with sweet almond and quinoa granola, 1/2 banana, and almond milk.
Figure 3. Lunch: a spinach and red cabbage salad with roasted red peppers, smoked almonds, balsamic vinegar, and topped with plain hummus thinned with almond milk. 
Figure 5. Dinner: toasted pine nut couscous (Near East), a Morningstar chicken patty with a dollop of ketchup for dipping, and steamed broccoli.
Figure 6. Dessert: a Pink Lady apple drizzled with chocolate PB2.
And that concludes another What I Ate Wednesday (featuring what I ate Monday, May 7).
That mug is amazing!!! SO jealous ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome looking food buy the way...especially those apples! I have PB2 headed my way and I can't wait to try it like that now!
Thanks! PB2 is the best. So many uses - on apples is a winner for sure.
DeleteI have got to buy some chocolate pb2... I just tried regular for the first time recently (life changing) so yeah, the chocolate needs to come into my life now!
ReplyDeleteyeah, you really need to. calorie count is about the same - but the chocolate is SO much more fantastic than the regular. it may change your life.
DeleteThat mug is amazing. I want one too! I've heard a lot of good things about thinned hummus as a dressing - can't wait to try it out myself.
ReplyDeletethinned hummus is my current dressing obsession. it makes it so creamy and delicious - but you are eating healthy fat and protein - not something gross.
DeleteAwww that mug is adorable! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI used to use thinned hummus as dressing all the time - I need to get back into that habit!
Thanks, Sable! Yeah, I am on a kick. A hummus dressing kick.
DeleteThe mug! Too cool. You are so legit now ;)
ReplyDeleteThat coffee mug is so epic! And I don't remember the last time I had a morningstar chicken patty, but you're making me want one! It looks so crispy!
ReplyDeletehaha, it is epic! morningstar chicken patty's are fantastic. i am sure i eat too many of them - but they are so quick and easy and crispy and delicious i can't get enough!
DeleteHoly monkeys that pink lady apple is calling my name!!! Well, now I know what I'm having for a snack later haha ;)
ReplyDeletehaha! glad to help you decide on snack. :)
DeleteAw, what a cute mug!
ReplyDeleteLove the mug! That's so cool. I want one! But ... for my own blog ;)
ReplyDeletehaha yeah that might be weird if you had a my less serious life mug.
DeleteI could eat popcorn for days...
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to have found your blog via WIAW!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool that someone gave you that coffee mug - I'd say that's hitting the big time. :) I love the Near East pine nut couscous. Your food looks great.
hi bella! this is near east couscous - my favorite brand!
DeleteWhat gorgeous looking salad! SO colorful :)
ReplyDeleteLOVELOVELOVE kettle corn! Your eats look awesome! I love apples with any sort of PB or chocolate dip or both!
ReplyDeletethanks, sweet cara. :)
DeleteWhere did you get your cup!? It's so adorable...this means you're famous, you know ;)
ReplyDeleteSteamed broccoli isn't the best vehicle for ketchup...but it's great for marinara sauce! {Another delicious tomato product}
hey hey blog friend. my best friend gave it to me - not sure where she got it!?!?
Deletemarinara sauce? i haven't tried that. need to get on that.
Kettle corn is SUCH a good snack!! Your broccoli looks so fresh and delicious too
ReplyDeletehaha, cheers for cous cous! I love that you make eatting apples seem like an indulgent. it's all about making healthy food look tasty. :)
ReplyDeleteapples can be indulgent if you prepare them right. at least that is how i see it!
Deletei LOVE that mug! so cute :) and all your eats are delicious, of course
ReplyDeletelooks delicious! veg chicken patties are so great! i'm glad i'm not the only one who dined on one ;)
ReplyDeletei eat 2-3 veg chicken patties a week. they are so yummy - almost like the real thing!
DeleteI love popcorn it always makes the perfect snack, especially the snack size bags :) I love the mug :)
ReplyDeleteOoh the apple looks fab! And I definitely have a whole box of 100-cal popcorn bags in my cupboard for snacking on!
ReplyDeletecan't beat 100 calories of whole grains.
DeleteI used to eat that same popcorn EVERY night! I had to shake up my eating routine a little more, but that is seriously some good stuff :)
ReplyDeleteThose apples look soooo delish! It's easy to forget how good a simple snack can be!
ReplyDeletegood point! simple is sometimes better...
