Happy What I Ate Wednesday!!
It is intensely HOT in Texas right now. I believe we’re on day 31 of temps above 100 in a row. Yesterday it was 110. Needless to say it feels like we’re living in hell right now.
My life is all about juice and smoothies right now, and I drink one with almost every meal! True story.
Today’s focus is juice!
For breakfast I usually go with a green juice. It’s chock FULL of vitamins and gives me oh so much energy!
My go-to green juice includes:
- 4 big handfuls of spinach
- 1 head of romaine lettuce
- 4 stalks celery
- 1/2 cucumber
- 1 apple
I usually pair this up with a bowl of cereal or some whole wheat toast.
This morning’s cereal was Nature’s Path Heritage Flakes- love these!!! Sometimes I mix them with other cereals (like cheerios) and sometimes I like them by themselves!
Lunch is still eaten on the road right now, and unfortunately I have to eat it at 10:30! I’ll be so glad when this class is over just so I can have a normal lunch time!
Hummus wrap (California Lavash wrap, hummus, Daiya Mozzarella, Franks Red Hot + sear in pan on both sides)
Juice!!!
- 4-5 handfuls baby carrots
- 1 apple
- small chunk of ginger
(oh, and apparently I just discovered that I did not invent my precious hummus wrap! Apparently Mama Pea did- the crack wrap! I had no idea of this until I was flipping through her cookbook! Oh well, guess great minds think alike!)
Snack on the way home from school= bag o’ apple slices and a nectarine!
Quick and easy dinner idea…
1 can of your favorite fire-roasted tomatoes. (I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Muir Glen Fire Roasted Tomatoes with Adobo!)- put in blender or food processor and pulse until it reaches the consistency of pasta sauce. Warm in a small saucepan and serve over your favorite whole wheat pasta. A salad is always good to have with this- quick to prep! Mine was romaine with broccoli slaw and cherry tomatoes with Annie’s Light Honey Mustard Vinaigrette.
There’s always gotta be a teeny bit of decadence in each day, and here’s mine! Magic pop (like a rice cake but way better! the store I used to work at makes them fresh!) and PB&Co dark chocolate dreams PB! ZOMG!
I used a Tablespoon on my magic pop and topped with a sliced banana. Chocolatey slice of Heaven!
Well, that’s it for my WIAW! What are you munching on today??
