Happy Wednesday, folks!! It is time for another round-up of my eats for a day. Oh, and don’t forget to check out Jenn’s blog to see TONS of other What I Ate Wednesday posts!
What I Ate Wednesday Tuesday: August 7, 2013
Breakfast
Yesterday’s breakfast was a baked sweet potato topped with PB2 peanut butter. This is SO delicious and is one of my favorite breakfasts right now!
I also paired it with:
Fresh mango, strawberries, and blackberries. I am loving how delicious all of the Summertime fruit is right now!
Mid-Morning Snack
A perfectly ripe banana.
Lunch
Lunch was leftovers from a big batch of Slow-Cooker Pea and Carrot Rice Soup that I made over the weekend. I followed my recipe exactly but added in some green beans this time. I served my soup over leftover cauliflower “rice” to make it extra thick.
I also ate a Red Delicious apple.
Afternoon Snack
On my way to the gym I snacked on a PB & J Larabar…the best flavor ever!
Dinner
Last night’s dinner was the Happy Herbivore’s Caribbean Peas and Rice. I followed the recipe exactly, but added in some leftover mushrooms and tomatoes, and I replaced the rice with cauliflower “rice.” This was taaaasty!
Evening Snacks
Evening snacks included roasted turnip fries with mustard…
…fresh cantaloupe and grapes…
…and Annie’s Sea Salt Popcorn (I forgot to take a pic! :().
It was a darn tasty day of eats! Have a great Wednesday everyone. Go eat some delicious and healthy food :).

What a day of healthy food. You truly do set a great example of what living a healthy lifestyle is all about 🙂
I try my best! 😉 You do a darn good job, yourself!
That sweet potato for breakfast idea I definitely need to try out as it looks so yummy!! 🙂
I wish we had lara bars here.
Ugh, no Larabars? That is a major bummer! 🙁
I know 🙁
Your breakfast looks fab! I had some roasted squash with peanut butter and cottage cheese as part of dinner the other day and couldn’t get over how delicious the combo was!
Isn’t it SO good? I love putting PB on my roasted kabocha!
Wowee what an interesting breakfast I might have to try that! Looks like a yummy day of food 🙂
It SO was. And yes, you absolutely should try it!
This is one seriously healthy day, girl! Now, are you SURE you’re getting enough fruits and veggies? Hahah JK! Love all your eats 🙂
Haha, I dono…I might be lacking a bit ;).
I’ve never tried sweet potato and PB. I’m still sticking to the savory versions of sweet potatoes! That soup looks really good!
Oh, you should definitely try it! It is SUCH a good combo!
wow! i second that! alysia, it’s a MUST
Mmm i’ve been munching on popcorn a lot more as a snack recently, too! Weird since it’s not something I usually go for, but it’s definitely made an appearance more than once in the past week! Oh well…rolling with it 😛
I LOVE popcorn! I am definitely going to make some in my air-popped tonight and top it with tons of nutritional yeast :).
I almost picked up that popcorn the other day…is it good?? And that soup looks fabulous!
I really liked it! It is not too salty, but just salty enough :).
I want to try those fries!
And that popcorn is the best, I buy the big a$$ bags from Costco.. Probably not good for my portion control.. 🙂
Haha, I hear ya. I always portion out my serving otherwise I would eat about half of the bag in one sitting.
I STILL need to try a sweet potato for breakfast!! I’m loving all the fruit right now too! The berries? Oh my, to die for! And I forgot about mango… How could I?! It’s one of my favorite fruits! Thanks for the reminder 🙂
You’re welcome! Mango is fantastic right now so you should definitely buy some!
Your breakfast looks so yummy!
And I totally love that claret colander, so cute!
Isn’t it fun? I use it every day!
Very healthy day!
And tasty! 🙂
I’ve started to crave soup again. Maybe it’s the cooler weather we’ve had the last few days. That soup looks delicious. I need to make skme
It is perfect soup weather. But then again, I am one who thinks that all weather is perfect soup weather ;).
I’ve never thought to bake a sweet potato much less put pb2 on top! That seriously is going to happen in my kitchen soon! And those grapes! They’ve become my favorite snack! So juicy and tasty!
Do it! You will not regret trying it!
While all of your eats are definitely healthified and awesome, I have to say I really love your little red colander holding your fruit 🙂
I LOVE it! It is the perfect size and it’s so cute :).
I love how sweet potatoes literally work at any point in the day, including breakfast! And now I wish I had some soup for lunch, yours looks awesome!
Maybe that is why sweet potatoes are one of my favorite foods. They are SUPER versatile!
Mmmm I love the PB&J Larabars. Have you tried the Banana Bread flavor? It’s so good – tastes just like the real thing! Your fruit from breakfast looks delicious and so fresh.
I have not tried that flavor yet (surprisingly), but I really want to!
I’m reading your post and going through your comments and surprised to see all the different Larabar flavors! The most adventurous one I tried was Apple Pie. Where can I get PB&J?!
You definitely need to track down a PB & J one! They are awesome!
A peanut butter and jelly Lara bar? Why have I never seen this before?!
I don’t know, but you need to find one ASAP and try it!!
Gotta love PB2! It’s one of the best discoveries I’ve ever made! All your eats look so good 🙂
I LOVE PB2! I am so glad that I finally tried it a couple of months back.
What a great day of food! Your slow cooker soup sounds delicious. And it sounds like you are really digging the riced cauliflower 🙂
You’ve got some great fresh fruit too. The grapes and pineapple combo sounds perfect for summer.
I am ALLLL about rice cauliflower right now…obviously! 😉
I have one of those lara bars sitting in my pantry but haven’t eaten it yet! I want your sweet potato breakfast 🙂
You need to eat it! The PB & J flavor is SO good!!
Oh my goodness, your breakfast looks delicious! It’s been a while since I’ve done one for breakfast….I need to one soon!
Yes, you do! PB and sweet potatoes is def one of the best combos…for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a snack! 😉
Oh your day of eats looks wonderful! I love having fresh fruit with breakfast.
Isn’t it the best? I love having a bit of sweetness in the morning :).
You do a seriously awesome job at getting your fruits and veggies in! Those turnip fries look so good! I keep meaning to try them and all of the other veggies you love to roast! 🙂
You should definitely give them a try! I sure enjoy them :).
Your slow cooker soup looks fantastic! I haven’t had my slow cooker out much this summer, but I am tempted to change that!
You definitely should! It sure helps for making easy meals!
I keep eating your breakfast for my dessert 😉
I definitely love it for dessert, too!! 🙂
Everything looks so good! I need to make that slow cooker soup recipe!!
Yes, you do! Let me know if you try it!
I love how your day was filled with fruits & veggies 🙂 This is so important and we all should make an effort to make sure we eat some at each meal!
I sure try my best! 🙂
I want your breakfast!!! I’ve been a nut butter monster lately!
You really cannot go wrong with nut butter!! 🙂
I love Boom Chicka Pop! I just bought a bag to pack up some portion sizes for work!
Isn’t it SO good?? I love it! Good idea to take it to work for a snack!
You can never go wrong with a sweet potato topped with some sort of nutty spread 🙂 So delicious!
You really can’t! I love eating it for snacks, too!
