Guess what, friends? We have almost made it…to the end of January, that is! I think most of us can agree that January is not the most fabulous month ever (especially if you live in a cold climate), so to say that I am excited about this being the last Wednesday of January would be an understatement. In celebration of it being Wednesday and almost being February, let’s check out a full day of my latest eats!
What I Ate Wednesday Sunday
Breakfast
I started my day off with a tasty green smoothie! In the mix was unsweetened vanilla almond milk, french vanilla Vega One, frozen banana, frozen cranberries, frozen blueberries, and tons of spinach. I swear, just about every smoothie that I make has at least 3-4 cups of spinach in it..and I love it!
Ohhh, yes! The second part of my breakfast was a delicious grilled breakfast sandwich with nut butter and fruit. More on this baby in a future post!
Lunch
Lunch was a giant serving of a new dish I cooked up on Sunday. Think Indian-inspired spaghetti squash. More on this recipe in a future post!
Snacks
Afternoon snackage was a sliced Fuji apple dipped in chunky cashew butter. Holy yum!
I also drank a Zevia cola. I like many of the flavors, but I think I will always be a cola girl. Zevia and I have become best friends on Sunday afternoons.
Dinner
Dinner was two white bean burgers (more on these in a future Friday Foodie Favorites post!) with barbecue sauce, cooked broccoli, and a dill pickle spear.
Snacks
Baby carrots and sugar snap peas with garlic hummus.
Fresh strawberries and green grapes.
And a big ‘ole bowl of popcorn!
There is nothing quite like rounding out your week with a great day of eats!
Also, sorry for so many recipe teasers ;). They will make their way to the blog soon enough!

If there’s one month out of the year that I don’t like, it’s January, without a doubt! It just feels like it’s never going to end and while I try not to live by wishing away time, I’m very grateful January is just about to an end. I’m ready for Valentine’s Day, some weekend trips coming up, and, of course, the weather warming up soon!!
I SO hear you. Before we know it it will be February! 🙂 Of course then I’ll be hoping for Spring time ;).
I want your breakfast sandwich! It looks so perfect and yummy.
Spinach in smoothies – ALL the time!
Spinach in smoothies is a MUST!! It still amazes me every time that you can’t even taste it!
I’ve heard of all kinds of veggie burgers, but never white bean. Looking forward to seeing the recipe in the near future – or so I hope 🙂
Haha..you will! It’s actually not mine, but will be on one of my Friday Foodie Favorites posts. And trust me, white beans in bean burgers are SO good. These are my new favorites!
That grilled breakfast sandwich looks out of this world!! haha I’m in a breakfast rut right now and need some new ideas : ) Happy Wednesday lady!
Thanks Ashley!! I definitely get in those ruts, too, but I like to try to mix things up on the weekends!
Grilled breakfast sandwich? That sounds amazing! Breakfast is definitely my favorite meal of the day, so I’m all over that idea!
I SO agree. I love it so much that I like to eat it for dinner quite frequently, too!
This was funny to me because literally on every thing that you said “more on that in a later post” right before I read those words I was like “ooooh what’s in that!” You tease!
Haha, I know!! It’s awful. I realized that when I was typing it up. Oops ;).
Mmmmm Angie’s popcorn is the bomb.com! Can’t wait for that toasted breakfast sammie recipe 🙂
It SO is!! That stuff is like crack! 😉
So excited for the white bean burger recipe, and you just made me crave spaghetti squash 🙂
They are both GOOD ones!! Isn’t spaghetti squash so delicious? It is amazing the numerous ways that it can be made, too! I will forever be hooked on it. I am going to be super sad when it is out of season and super expensive :(.
That breakfast sandwich looks SO good. I’ll have to keep my eye out for that. Can you believe I’ve never had Indian food?!
WHAT? That is awful, Ashlee!! You need to change that! 😉
The white bean burgers look yummy!
They are awesome!! Look for them in a future Friday Foodie Favorites post!
I couldn’t be happier that January is almost over. That means (hopefulllly) only one and a half or two months of serious cold weather. Your smoothie looks great! I can’t bring myself to drink a smoothie when it’s 8 degrees outside though. Sooooooooon!
I hear you. I am SO over Winter and ready for Spring! My smoothie addiction is BAD…I majorly crave them even when it is freezing cold outside.
Looks like there’s lots of good recipes coming up! The breakfast sandwich looks particularly delicious.
Thanks Dana!! Be on the look out! 😉
I just tried to make my hubby a grilled nut butter + banana sandwich…my mom used to always make them for us…he said he’d never heard of such a thing and didn’t think it’d be good…now I know I’m not nuts and indeed they are delicious no matter what he thinks!
They SO are!! I think maybe he is a bit nuts for not wanting to try it ;).
The grilled sandwich sounds yummy!
Thanks Jackie!! Hopefully I can get the post up fairly soon since quite a few people seem to think so!
Cashew butter! Did you make it yourself or buy it somewhere?
I bought it back when Jif first came out with it and I had a really great coupon for it. It is not quite as natural as I would like, but it is REALLY tasty!
I LOVE the looks of that breakfast sandwich…. can’t wait for the details. Also, that pink fruit bowl is super cute!
Thanks, Kim!! It was the perfect breakfast because it was delicious but SO easy to make!
Mmm that breakfast sandwich looks awesome! And I love that popcorn!
Thanks Katie!! Isn’t the popcorn SO good? It is beyond addicting.
I’ve seen so many spaghetti squash recipes! Sadly, my oven is out of commission until I move in ONE month!
I’ve been enjoying protein smoothies for breakfast too!
That sounds seriously awful!! I would be lost without my oven :(.
I’m loving green smoothies lately…I have one every day! Let’s see how long I can keep up this streak 🙂
I totally understand! You can do it!! Just think about how good they are for you and how tasty they are!
That Boom Chicka Pop popcorn rocks. It tastes so much better than microwave popcorn.
Your breakfast smoothie is awesome. I love adding tons of greens to my smoothies. It makes the bod feel so good!
I can’t wait for the Indian Spaghetti Squash recipe!
Boom Chicka Pop is awesome!! Have you tried the lightly sweetened version that is out now? It is AWESOME!
Wow – these snacks look SO good! I need to be better about making healthy choices during work 🙂
