In the healthy living blogging community, most bloggers’ What I Ate Wednesday posts actually feature their eats from Tuesday. Most weeks, however, I tend to post on Wednesday evenings and feature my eats from that day. This week, though, I am following the crowd ;). Here is what I ate Wednesday Tuesday.
Breakfast
Tuesday’s breakfast featured a baked sweet potato (which I “baked” in the microwave Monday night) topped with half of an avocado and sea salt. Sweet potatoes and avocados make everything better, so I figured why not combine the two? I also ate a banana on the side.
Mid-Morning Snack
I ate fresh pineapple, blackberries, and raspberries for my mid-morning snack. Unfortunately, the raspberries and blackberries weren’t all that tasty :(.
Lunch
Lunch consisted of leftovers from Monday night’s dinner: Black bean tacos in hearts of Romaine lettuce “shells” topped with salsa and cherry tomatoes. So, so tasty!
I also ate a Gala apple on the side (unpictured).
Afternoon Snack
On Monday I came home to a package at my doorstep containing several different varieties of Clif bars. I packed one of them for my after-work snack to eat on the way to the gym.
I loved this flavor and the crunchy texture was awesome. I probably should have planned better and not eaten these (you get two in a package!) in the car, though. I made a bit of a mess! 😉
Dinner
For dinner I made Michelle’s vegan Fish o’ Filet sandwich. I adapted the recipe slightly by using bread crumbs and adding a couple of dashes of Old Bay Seasoning. I served the filet on whole wheat toast with fresh spinach leaves, onion, and Vegenaise vegan mayo. On the side I ate a dill pickle spear and roasted turnip fry wedges (more on these a different day!). It was SUCH a tasty dinner.
Evening Snacks
Last night I snacked on:
Celery, radish slices, cherry tomatoes, and baby carrots with Trader Joe’s chipotle hummus…
…fresh cantaloupe and green grapes…
…and air-popped popcorn (my favorite snack right now!).
Happy Wednesday, all! 🙂

Turnip fries?! Can’t wait to hear about those 🙂
They are super tasty!!
I am gonna have to go check out that Fish-o’-fillet recipe. It looks delicious… as your meals always do 🙂
It is SO good! And since you have been looking for tofu recipes lately, this one would be perfect!
Those are some great healthy snacks, popcorn and fruit are my faves.
Gotta love popcorn!!
Yum I’m drooling over here! Loving your healthy snacks!
Thank you! I try ;).
Sweet potato and avocado? How have I never thought of that!!
I was asking myself the same thing when I tried it for the first time yesterday. That will definitely be happening again!
Yeah, I’m intrigued by the sweet potato + avocado combo. Interesting…. Can’t wait for your turnip french fry post!
They are so good. It is amazing what you can turn into a “french fry!”
That sandwich looks really good, perfect for summer! And sweet potato and avocado sounds like the perfect combo!
It certainly was a super yummy day of eats!
I always put avocado on sweet potato!! Soooo good! Add some plain greek yogurt ad it’s even better!
You are a smart girlie! I cannot believe that it took me so long to think of it.
Ohh that fish sandwich sounds awesome!
It seriously was! I am excited to eat my leftovers for lunch today :).
I didn’t know Cliff made crunchy bars!I’ll have to keep a lookout for those…crunch bars are my fav 😛
It has been forever since I have had a crunchy granola bar, but I am LOVING these so far! Delicious :).
Never tried those Cliff bars but I’m a big fan of Cliff Z bars!
They are super good! You should definitely hunt some down and try them.
Totally agree, everything is better with avocado! Air popped popcorn is one of my favs right now too 🙂
I think that I could eat popcorn all day long ;).
The sandwich looks so good!! And I love the Sweet Potato Avocado Combo.
I cannot believe it took me so long to try the sweet potato and avocado combo. Silly me! 😉
Yes – I’m totally a WIA – Tuesday person – haha! Your breakfast sounds so tasty. Sweet potatoes for breakfast = awesome.
I LOVE sweet potatoes for breakfast. I also like topping them with nut butter and cinnamon :).
Aw, I’m going to miss getting your WIAW in my bloglovin on Wednesday nights. It was like a little present after I thought I had run out of WIAWs to read 🙂
So strange not to see a banana as your mid-morning snack as well! Haha.
That fish fillet from Peachy Palate looks so good. And those vegetable chips on the side sounds amazing as well.
Haha! You know me WAY too well with that banana ritual! 😉
And don’t worry, I imagine that I will still be doing some WIAW posts on Wednesday nights! I am not always prepared/organized enough to get them written on Tuesday nights! 😉
I’m obsessed with popcorn. My favorite snack!! I don’t know that I’ve had sweet potato and avocado together, but you’re right, they both are amazing, why not? 🙂
It was such a delicious combo! You definitely should give it a try!
The berries in San Francisco aren’t too sweet right now either. Hopefully they get tastier in the next few weeks!
No kidding! It is pretty disappointing especially when they LOOK good! 🙁
I always cook sweet potatoes in the microwave! so easy
Agreed! I rarely ever “bake” them. I am not patient enough! 😉
That dinner sandwich sounds kind of amazing, I’mgoing to have to check out that recipe. I’m also pretty jealous of the veggie plate you have every night for a snack — after dinner, all I want to eat is sweets, I wish I had your will power!
I actually CRAVE my veggie plates! Mostly because I am pretty much obsessed with baby carrots and hummus :).
I need to try that avocado/sweet potato combo….sounds interestingly delish! My kids love those crunchy Cliff bars and you’re right, they are a tad on the messy side. 😉
Yes, you definitely must try it! It is a great combination :).
woohoo for pickles!!
how was the combo of avocado and sweet potato??
Pickles are a MUST with pretty much every sandwich that I eat.
Avocado and sweet potato together = amazing!!
That snack plate is completely up my alley! It’s becoming my go-to for lunch, snacks, dessert, you name it 🙂 I saw those Crunch bars at the grocery store but decided not to buy them…mistake? Great day!
Definitely a mistake! That is the first flavor that I have tried so far, but I was loving it. If you like crunchy granola bars then you would definitely like these!
OK, I am SERIOUSLY impressed by the amount of fruit you eat! You give me something to strive for.
I can’t help it, I just LOVE it! 🙂
i loveee popcorns and you eat so many fruits and vegies- i wish i did the same.
You can do it!! 🙂
I have some turnips I got from the CSA that I plan on making tonight. I have no idea what I am going to do with them just yet, but fries sounds like a GREAT option!
You should absolutely give them a try! Let me know if you do!
That fish fillet sandwich looks tasty!
It was SO good!!
Haha! At first glance i thought you ate the sweet potato raw for breakfast! That would be a new way to enjoy it!
Haha, yeah when I took the picture it was definitely raw. I’m not sure how tasty that would be.. ;).
Yum i gotta check out that fish filet recipe, looks great! I love sweet potatoes for breakfast, def gotta try adding in some avocado next time!
Yes, you definitely should! It is a great combo :).
I’ve never seen those cliff bars!
I’ve heard that from a lot of people. They must be new?? Either way, I am loving them!
I always love popcorn! Sweet potatoes and avocado are always an amazing combination! I like to do sweet potato, avocado and fried egg.It’s one of my favorite breakfasts that I don’t eat nearly enough.
Yum! Adding a fried, dippy egg definitely sounds perfect :).
Um, can I please eat with you every day? Your food looks amazing! Love that popcorn and hummus! Hummus is my go to snack this year apparently. So so good!
Sure! Come on over! 😉
I love that you had a sweet potato for breakfast that is awesome 🙂
Loving that fillet of fish sandwich too.
Sweet potatoes for breakfast are where its at!! 😉
Yummy dinner. 🙂
It really was!!
Agreed, air popped popcorn is the best! I probably should invest in an air popper with as quickly as I go through a bag of that stuff. Yum!
Air-poppers are awesome and MUCH healthier. They don’t cost very much, either!
Your roasted turnip fries look good! I love roasted sweet potato and butternut squash fries, so I’ll have to try turnips next time.I love air popped popcorn, too! My new favorite is air popped popcorn with a drizzle of coconut oil and a pinch of sea salt on top…YUM!
I love spraying my popcorn with TJ’s coconut oil spray and then sprinkling it with sea salt and nutritional yeast. Yum!!
I love all your healthy snacks…you’re giving me good ideas!! 🙂
Awesome! Glad I can help! 😉
all i really have to say is: UM THIS ALL LOOKS SO GOOD.
Haha, thanks! 😉 It was quite delicious!
What a great post. Thanks for inspiring me!!
Thank you! Glad I inspired you! 🙂
Everything looks delicious! Really want to try a sweet potato now…with avocado on top :d
Oh, you definitely should! It is GOOD!
Raspberries and blackberries are my least favorite berries because if you don’t get a good batch, then they are almost inedible. When they are juicy and perfectly ripe though? You best watch out. I end up with purply-red hands and lips!
Haha, no kidding!! I hate how much of a toss-up it is with them.
Vegan filet-o-fish? How good does that sound :D!
SO good, right?? I loved it!
Such healthy snacks and eating- thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you!! 🙂
