It has been awhile since I have shared one of my What I Ate Wednesday posts with you! With my two-week long blogcation, you have missed out on a lot of great Wednesday eats…and yes, a lot of bananas! 😉 But do not fear, my regularly scheduled What I Ate Wednesday Tuesday posts are back!
What I Ate Wednesday: August 28, 2013
Breakfast
Part 1: Breakfast began bright and early at 5:00 a.m. I ate half of a banana on the drive to spin class and downed my Camelbak bottle of water during the workout. I finished up the banana when I got home. How weird is it to see the banana so early on in the day? 😉
Part 2 of my breakfast was eaten at work. It consisted of a baked sweet potato topped with PB2 peanut butter…
…and followed up with a white peach and a vanilla vegan coconut milk yogurt. This is by far my favorite vegan yogurt variety out there. It is tasty!
Lunch
Lunch consisted of leftovers from Monday night’s dinner: Sweet and Spicy Tofu w/ Veggies over brown rice (more on this later in a future Friday Favorites post!)
Snack
My afternoon snack was a cherry + vanilla organic Skout trailbar. I won a giveaway on Giselle’s blog and was so exited to try these! The ingredient lists are great and I love the unique flavors. These definitely resemble Larabars, which I also love.
Dinner
On Sunday I cooked up a big batch of my Vegetable, Lentil, and Barley Stew. I have been eating it for several meals this week and have been serving it over cauliflower “rice.” It is darn good!
Snacks
These are all going to be recycled pictures, but you get the gist. What can I say, I am a creature of habit!
A veggie plate with hummus.
Fresh berries + grapes.
And finally…some Boom Chicka Pop. I am obsessed with this popcorn right now!
Have a wonderful Wednesday! 🙂

That yoghurt sounds so yummy!! They are only really bringing coconut flavoured stuff our more here now but we are still way behind!
Well hopefully they make it your way soon because they are super tasty!
I really hope so! 🙂
I need to try boom chicka pop! My microwave is acting wonky and not cooking popcorn the way I want it to.
Try it!! I LOVE it!!
I’ve never tried tofu, but that stir fry looks delicious!!
You should totally give it a try. I love it baked, on sandwiches, and in stir-fries!
I got that popcorn because I had heard good things about it…. But Was kind of disappointed. I mean it was $2.50…..and all it was was popcorn. Lol I thought it was something special. I could prob get a box of natural no butter added popcorn for cheaper.
I really like it simply because it is just popcorn with a hint of sea salt. I think the level of salt is perfect for my taste buds. Plus, it avoids the chemicals that are found in microwave popcorn :/.
Ah! So glad to hear you like the Skout bars. I actually just received some in the mail today that I’m dying to get into once joshua gets home with the pkg =)
I can’t wait to try the other flavors! I hope you like yours, too :).
I am in LOVE with white peaches right now! They are so sweet ! I top them with cacao coconut butter – so yummy.
That sounds amaaaazing! I still need to try coconut butter!
I love barley in soups and stews. I don’t eat it enough 🙂
Isn’t it awesome? It is one of my favorite new things to add to soups!
That popcorn is definitely addictive! And yes to that yogurt – it sounds so good, where did you get it?!?
I just bought it at my local grocery store in the Health Market section, but I have also seen it at Whole Foods. I love that it is “Greek style!”
I love that popcorn too! I could literally eat the whole bag in one sitting…
Oh goodness, me too! I always portion it out in fear of doing that ;).
I’ve just recently started eating the coconut milk yogurt and love it but I haven’t seen this one yet! The search begins 🙂
You must find this brand and the “Greek Style”!! It is SO good!
I love your breakfast! Sweet potato, apple AND yogurt?! Perfect. And I haven’t heard of the skout trailbar…but if it reminds you of a larabar, sign me up!
They are really good! I haven’t seen them in stores yet, though :(.
Everything looks tasty Especially the sweet potato! I really need to start having them in the house more often. I love them and I they’re so good for us. Have a great day!
They are so good! I eat them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, AND snacks! 😉
I keep seeing that popcorn… I need to try it!!
Yes, you do!! It has just the perfect hint of salt! The kettle flavor is really good, too!
I’ve never tried Boom Chicka Pop, or any kind of prepopped popcorn to be honest, but I’ve been hearing a lot about it lately and I might need to change that! Glad i found your blog.
You should definitely give it a try. I really love the Annie’s brand and the ingredients list!
That veggie, lentil and barley stew looks delicious! I’m starting to crave more and more soups now that fall is approaching! I’m such a creature of habit with my snacks too – yogurt, fruit, hummus and popcorn. Always in the rotation : )
Yes, I feel like I have been eating veggies with hummus, fruit, and popcorn as night time snacks for months now! 😉
SO MUCH YUM! I love those Skout bars and was soo shocked by how good they were.
Aren’t they tasty? I cannot wait to try the other flavors!
I have been wanting to try Skout bars but I have not found them anywhere!
I haven’t seen them in the stores yet, either :(.
your lunch looks spectacular 😀
It SO was!! I love a good stir-fry!
nice to have you back <3
It is so good to be back! 🙂
you know my love for boom chicka popcorn. delicious
Isn’t it the best? Popcorn is seriously my FAVE snack right now and I just LOVE the Annie’s brand!
The sweet potato with the PB2 is a must try! Looks tasty.
It REALLY is!! It is one of my favorite breakfasts right now!
Bananas are my favorite pre-workout snack in the morning. It gives me some needed energy, but aren’t too filling.
I SO agree!! Bananas are just plain amazing ;).
Yummy eats! Especially the potato! 🙂
They are one of the best breakfasts! I love eating them for snacks, too!
I’ve been meaning to try that coconut milk yogurt…it looks fab! Keep up the delish eats 🙂
You really need to try it! The “Greek style” is the best!
I should probably start having a little snack before my morning workouts because I’m always so hungry afterwards. Do you not get too full when you eat before spin?
I never eat too much before my workout (because honestly I’m not usually hungry right away), but a cup of Cheerios or half of a banana seems to do the trick for me!
Bananas are my go-to before a workout as well! It seems like they’re one of the few foods that won’t make me feel nauseated during an intense workout. And you’re right – spinning IS awesome! It seriously kicked my booty. I’m pretty sure 70-year old men were pedaling faster than me 😉
Bananas are just awesome!! 😀 And isn’t spinning SO fun? I am already addicted. And I totally hear you…I feel like I am majorly lagging behind the people who are 2-3 times my age!
That popcorn is one of my favorites! It is addicting but so good!
Isn’t it awesome? I am a bit obsessed ;).
Your stew looks delicious! I have heard that popcorn is good, but haven’t found any to try yet!
Hopefully you can find it sometime soon. It is SO good!
I”m so glad you got your Skout bars and like them! I’ve been loving them lately! Especially the chocolate coconut. so good!
I haven’t tried that flavor yet, but I will definitely have to soon!!
Looks like a yummy day of eats! I want to try those Skout bars!
They are tasty. If you like Larabars (which I know you do!), then you should like these!
Love that bowl that you have your fruit in 🙂
A spicy and sweet stir fry sounds delicious. Can’t wait to hear what you used for the seasoning.
It mostly consisted of Bragg’s Liquid Aminos, teriyaki sauce, sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and Truvia (or sugar). TASTY!
Gosh I need to eat as healthy as you haha! I still want to try that popcorn!
You should definitely try the popcorn! It is my current obsession :).
I just jumped on the sweet potato and PB train recently…. where have I been?! It’s amazing! I also looove Boom Chicka Pop 🙂
I am so glad that you tried it! Everyone should be eating the sweet potato/PB combo!!
