Happy Wednesday, everyone!!Ā We are more than halfway through the work week.Ā And in fact, I will not be working on Friday so I only have to make it through one more day.Ā I may be just a little bit excited about this! šĀ And do you know what else I am excited about?Ā Joining in on the What I Ate Wednesday party, of course!Ā Thanks to Jenn at Peas and Crayons for hosting!
Breakfast
This morning I ate one of my favorite breakfasts: A sweet and savory waffle-wich breakfast sandwich!Ā My waffle-wich consisted of 2 whole grain waffles, 1 wedge of Weight Watchers white cheddar cheese spread, scrambled eggwhites, and blackberry jam.Ā This was SO good!
On the side I ate Greek vanilla yogurt with fresh strawberries and blackberries.Ā I am loving that berries are finally getting into their peak season.Ā Not only are they tasting sweeter and juicier, but they are also a lot cheaper!
Mid-Morning
I snacked on a perfectly ripe banana mid-way through my morning at work.
Lunch
Today’s lunch was leftovers from Tuesday night’s dinner: Masala Burgers from the Everyday Happy Herbivore cookbook, roasted green beans, and a dill pickle spear.
Snack
Before heading to the gym for some weight training, I snacked on a Zone Perfect Perfectly Simple peanut crunch bar.Ā This is one of the only protein bars that I will eat because it only contains six ingredients!Ā How awesome is that?
Dinner
Tonight’s dinner was a delicious Mexican-inspired barley dish.Ā More on this one on Friday!
Snacks
Tonight’s snacks have/will consist of:
Green peas, celery, and carrots with hummus…
…fresh fruit (because I cannot get enough!)…
…and some air-popped popcorn sprayed with coconut oil spray and topped with sea salt and nutritional yeast.
This has been one tasty day of eats and I cannot wait for it to continue! š
There are only a couple of days remaining for the Larabar Giveaway, so head on over to the giveaway post and enter!

Looking forward to that barley dish! I just made a barley soup from the blog Making Thyme for Health and I loved it I think especially because of the barley!
Barley is awesome!!
I am with you on the berries being cheaper and tastier. I just had the best strawberries with fresh pineapple! Love that combination!!! And that breakfast…holy moly…looks amazing!
Yum!! I need to buy a pineapple ASAP!
I had waffles for breakfast too- soo yummy! I am lovin’ all this fruit too. I just love summer!!
Waffles are awesome! I need to start eating them more often. Better yet, I need to buy a waffle iron and make my own!
Glad you went with the popcorn š Good eats!
You bet! I cannot say no to it! š
So much fruit, Love it! š š
Cannot get enough!
Maybe I need to type up what I eat so I don’t go eating handfuls of snacks from the pantry all day long. Your meals all look so fresh and delicious!
Keeping a food journal could certainly help you to be more mindful!
Yum! Your meals look great! Especially the fresh fruit! Loving fruit lately!
It is definitely the best time of year for fruit :).
Where do you buy nutritional yeast? Is there a certain brand that you use? Also, is there a specific brand of waffles that you prefer? Awesome meals, by the way. š
You should be able to find nutritional yeast at Hy-Vee, most likely in the Health Market. I just buy whatever brand I can find or that is the cheapest. My favorite waffles right now are the Kashi Whole Grain waffles, though I am working on transitioning to whole wheat waffles.
Love the sound of those bars- the shorter the ingredient list, the better š
I SO agree!! You definitely do not need all of the added ingredients in order to have great taste.
I’m trying hard to eat more vegetarian food and your blog looks like the perfect place to find ideas! I’ve never had scrambled egg whites – I must give them a go!
That is great! I hope you find some recipes that you like :).
Everything looks great- especially that fresh fruit..YUM
You betcha! Fruit is amazing right now.
I had a free sample of 3 of those protein bars — they’re so good! I think I still have a cranberry-something one floating around. mmm.
I really like the cranberry flavor, too!
That barley dish looks delicious! Excited to see the recipe!
It was SO good and super simple to make.
Those bars from zone are SO good – seriously can’t get enough. Have you had the coconut one? It is basically straight up coconut. amazing.
Yes, I have! I love all three flavors that they make, though peanut butter is definitely my favorite.
Yum–that’s my favorite way to enjoy popcorn! I haven’t seen those Perfectly Simple Zone bars . . . with such a clean ingredient list I’d give one a try.
Be on the lookout. I find mine at Target!
looks like a great day of eats! love that those protein bars only have 6 ingredients too! I’m not working tomorrow either- woohoo!!
Yes, the fewer ingredients the better! š Enjoy your day off!
That fresh fruit bowl looks great. I always seem to forget about kiwis. Your banana looks good too – I like mine slightly freckled. š
My bananas definitely have to be ripe! I do not do green bananas!
Ok that waffle-wich is awesome. Just sayin’. I want it.
It really is!! You need to make one!
yeah, you did have a day of both delicious and healthy eats! yum! can’t wait for the barley recipe. i’ve had dry barley in my pantry for about 1 year now and don’t know what to do with it. inspire me! š
Oh my goodness, I LOVE barley!! š It is also great to add to soups.
So balanced and delicious!! These breakfast waffles look so good, I think I need them in my life.
Trust me, you do! Everyone does ;).
I need to try this eggs and jam combo, people really dig it and I love sweet n salty
People dig it for a reason..because it is awesome!! š
Um your day of food looks amazing!!! Your body loves you I’m sure, way to go! That waffle jam, egg combo looks fantastic and so does all your fresh fruit!
I definitely feel so much better physically now that I am a vegetarian who eats vegan quite often.
Fresh fruit this time of year is so perfect!! And I love mexican dishes and barley, so i can’t wait for that!
This is definitely the time for fruit :).
I want all your food! Especially breakfast!
Waffle-wich breakfast sandwiches are the best!!
That wafflewich looks delicious, as does that barley creation. YUM!
Both were SO good!
I want that fresh bowl of fruit…it looks so refreshing right now!! Oh..and that waffle for sure š
I think that I could eat bowl after bowl after bowl of fresh fruit ;).
Mmm loving the fresh fruit lately too
Isn’t it awesome??
Yum! You’re fresh berries look delicious. I just bought some fresh strawberries – can’t wait to have them!
Strawberries are finally starting to taste awesome! It definitely excites me. Plus, I was able to buy a 2 pound package for 1.88!!
Wow!!! That’s a crazy good price for strawberries – lucky you!
I can’t get enough fresh fruit lately, either! I’ve been loving strawberries and blackberries.
Blackberries have been SO good lately!
Ohhhh… I want your breakfast! I t maybe a Brinner night. š
Brinner is the best!! I need to go that route more often!
I need to go buy some waffles! I’ve been seeing them everywhere!
Yes, yes you do!! š
As always your meals look amazing, especially the waffle breakfast sandwich.

You are so right! You really cannot beat the cheese-egg-jam combo…well I suppose if you added in some avocado then that just might be it over the top! š
