So, it may be Thursday and not Wednesday…but, better late than never, right? š
I am not sure how “sensible” my snacking was yesterday, but let’s just go with it!Ā It’s What I Ate Wednesday (on Thursday) time!
Breakfast
I brought my breakfast along with me to work yesterday.Ā Into the bowl went Kashi Go Lean cereal, Arrowhead Mills Puffed Corn cereal, and Multigrain Cheerios cereal.Ā I added unsweetened vanilla almond milk when I was ready to eat.
Mid-Morning Snack
A couple of hours later, this happened.
Lunch
Yesterday’s lunch was leftovers from Tuesday night’s dinner.Ā I enjoyed Tofu and Veggie Lettuce Wraps, which by the way, were super good!Ā Look for the recipe in a future Magazine Monday post!
I also ate a Red Delicious apple.
Afternoon Snack
I snacked on a Perfectly Simple Peanut Crunch protein bar on my drive to the gym.
Dinner
My Indian-themed dinner came straight out of the Happy Herbivore Abroad cookbook.
I made Masoor Dal (red lentil dal)…
…and saag (that’s spinach!).
They may not look pretty, but trust me, looks are most definitely deceiving in this instance.Ā And for those of you who are always concerned about my protein intake on a vegetarian/vegan diet…this dinner alone contained 25 grams of protein! š
Evening Snacks
Last night I snacked on:
A veggie plate of celery, radishes, carrots, and peas, which I dipped in this:
Trader Joe’s horseradish hummus.Ā Seriously, you guys, this stuff is awesome!Ā TJ’s has the best hummus flavors!
I also snacked on some fresh cantaloupe (my first “homegrown” cantaloupe of the season! yay!) and red grapes (unpictured)…
…and some air-popped popcorn.
All in all it was a great day of eats! š

That lettuce wrap looks so good! Can’t wait for the recipe!
They were SUPER tasty! š
Wow that is a very sensible day of eating!! Sounds delicious!
Thank you! It was quite good :).
Ahh I want to try TJs hummus sooo bad! Why is there no TJs around me??
That Indian food looks delicious! I would love to go to India just to try their food š
I feel so sorry for everyone out there who does not live near a TJ’s. I didn’t live near one until about 6 months ago..now I don’t know what I would do without it!
I love Indian food so your dinner sounds amazing. Also, why do I never think to use lettuce for a wrap? I pretty much gave up on wraps once I figured out how many carbs are in them, I need to go back with your healthy version. And did I read you correctly? You grew your own cantaloupe?! How cool is that!
I just started using the hearts of Romaine to make lettuce wraps and I am loving them! You should definitely try it!
And I guess I should clarify…no, I did not grow it, but it was homegrown locally…oops, I should have been more specific! š
I love air popped popcorn, and your dinner looks so stinkin good! I think you had a great day of food and snacks, they all look pretty darn tasty!
It was a tasty day, for sure! š
Woah, horseradish hummus?! WHY IS THERE NOT A TJS HERE? Okay. Done yelling š Saag is one of my favorite Indian foods, I love it with mushrooms, yum yum
Yes, I was a bit nervous to try the horseradish hummus, but I am HOOKED. I feel bad that you don’t have a TJ’s near you :(.
I made the saag about a month ago with mushrooms and red peppers added in and it was so good!
Tofu lettuce wraps sound delicious! and I love all teh find’s at TJ’s, such an amazing place š
It is definitely one of the most amazing places around! š
Making me think that I need some Indian food in the near future! š
Absolutely! I could eat it everyday! š
The lettuce wrap looks delicious! I’ve never tried the Perfectly Simple bars before, but that flavor sounds yummy!
They are really good and I love that they only contain 6 ingredients!
That was one of my favorite hummus’s from TJ’s. I miss TJ’s so much since moving to Denver (don’t worry- they are building one now!)…I get sad when i see people posting products from there. haha
I would definitely be going through withdrawals if I were you. Thank goodness they are building one!
Better late than never is right, because lady, I had no idea about that TJ’s hummus flavor. Will be buying this weekend FOR SURE omg so excited. I hope mine carries it.
I hope it does too, for your sake! It is so good! I also love their tomato basil flavor and their chipotle flavor!
Everything looks delicious! I’d say your snacks were definitely sensible – full of fruits and veggies.
Thanks! I try my best! š
I love that TJs horseradish hummus! Have you ever tried the white bean & basil one? That is my absolute favorite.
I have not, but I obviously need to!! I’ll have to pick some up this weekend.
Ooh yum! Loving all your eats! Your dinner sounds great!
Thank you! It was SO tasty!
That horseradish hummus is my all-time favorite! And it’s been too long since I’ve made lettuce wraps!
Lettuce wraps are so simple that I often forget about them, but I am definitely on a kick with them right now.
Loving the Indian meals! Can you post the recipe? I love Indian food, the slices are just incredible.
Horseradish hummus? That sounds crazy! But strangely tasty… And yay for popcorn snackage! š
I actually don’t post recipes when they are published in cookbooks and I follow them word for word :(. Sorry!
And the horseradish hummus = amazing!!
I love daal! It’s so filling and packed with so many nutrients :)!
It really is!! And SO tasty!
oh.em.gee. horseradish hummus? need it now!
Homegrown cantaloupe as in grown from your own home?!! That would be awesome!
I think you had an awesome day of healthy snacking! Just the peas alone deserve an A++ Those are one of the few vegetables I tolerate now so I eat them literally ALL the TIME š
Haha, I definitely should have clarified on the cantaloupe…”homegrown” as in grown locally. You aren’t the only one who was confused! š
And yay for peas! They are the best :).
I don’t eat much Indian food, but you are inspiring me to try it out!
You should definitely try it! It is SO good :).
So much of my favorite food is not so cute – especially Indian food! But carrots on the other hand…those are always adorable.
Gotta love baby carrots :).
Loving the look of that lettuce wrap it looks really delicious! My boyfriend and I went to Hawaii in January and there was one hotel we stayed at that did beautiful tofu lettuce wraps and I’d forgot all about them will I saw your post, makes me want one again now š
Lettuce wraps are fantastic! I am so glad that I finally started making them!
TJs totally does have the BEST hummus flavors.
YES, they do! It do not think that it could get much better!
Yum to everything! Even though you posted a day late, this WIAW is more authentic than any others because it’s a collection of what you *really* ate on Wednesday, rather than Tuesday. So in that sense, you’re not late at all!
I’d love to try TJ’s horseradish hummus! How spicy is it? xoxo <3
Haha, such a good point!! I definitely try to post what I actually ate on Wednesday, though that often leaves me a bit behind most other bloggers.
The horseradish hummus is really good. I was afraid that it would be too spicy, but I really did not think that it was at all. You should definitely try it!
Lettuce wraps for lunch? Yum! You are amazing! I also love ending the day with air popped popcorn. Such a great snack!
Aww, thanks! š And yes, popcorn is definitely one of my favorite nighttime snacks!
I will have to try that flavor hummus. I go through hummus like crazy and always love trying new flavors. I love Indian food and lentils, both of which almost never look good.
Yes, you MUST try it! It is SO good! And you are right, lentils rarely ever look good. But they sure taste amazing!
Oh yumm that Indian dinner!! I love red lentil dal!!
Me too! I think that I could eat Indian food every single day!
Wow – that sounds like a fantastic day of eats!
Lunch sounds especially delicious =)
It was SO good! š
That red lentil dish looks great – tell me more about it please!
Definitely check out the Happy Herbivore cookbooks! They are awesome! Her website is great, too!
This
dishes looks so fantastic.
