I am coming to really like Wednesdays. Obviously Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are my favorite. That’s a no-brainer, right? But Wednesdays and Thursdays are really becoming quite fabulous, too! They are the gateway to the end of the work week and the weekend, and I cannot help but love the fact that Wednesdays are all about food…even if my What I Ate Wednesday posts seem to feature other days’ eats. But hey, every day should be about food.
What I Ate Wednesday Saturday
Breakfast
The first thing that I did after stepping out of bed on Saturday morning was head to the gym for a legs/abs workout. As soon as I got home, I downed a glass of water and drank a green smoothie. In the mix: unsweetened coconut milk, chocolate Vega One, frozen banana, frozen cranberries, frozen zucchini, and lots of spinach. Oh, and clearly I need to invest in a new cup. Hopefully I’m not jinxing the weather with this one 😉
A couple of hours later I ate my second breakfast, a plate of Scrambled Breakfast Nachos. This recipe will be coming ‘atcha soon!
Lunch
Lunch began with a side salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing…
…and ended with this. Totally weird, I know. But it was what I was craving so I went with it. I baked microwaved a large Yukon gold potato and topped it with leftover pasta sauce from my fridge and peas. In case you forgot, I love peas!
Afternoon Snacks
No surprise here. I am nowhere near sick of this afternoon snack. This bowl contained a microwaved diced apple, cinnamon, almond butter, and Enjoy Life chocolate chunks. The melted AB and chocolate combo is the BEST.
I also tried the cream soda Zevia for the first time and was a fan! You are going to want to come back tomorrow for a fun giveaway 🙂
Dinner
Dinner was Peanut Butter & Kale Fried Rice. More on this on Friday!
Evening Snacks
And finally, I rounded out the day with a couple of snacks.
Veggies and hummus because I seriously crave this combo…
…and a giant bowl of air-popped popcorn that I ended up topping with coconut oil spray, nutritional yeast, sea salt, and a sweet and tangy bbq seasoning. So good!

I just bought Zevia yesterday and literally had the cream soda in my hand, but Josh convinced me to swap it out for the Dr Pepper-type flavor. Now that I know it’s tasty, I’m sad I didnt get it!
Yeah, that is a major bummer. I am so not a Dr. Pepper fan so I think that is one Zevia flavor I would not like. But the cream soda was really good!
I feel the need to keep saying that there is nothing I love more than my apple/pb/chocolate chips, especially when melted!
Isn’t it SO good?? I can’t get over the yumminess!
I love Zevia! The Dr. Pepper is my favorite with cream soda in second place.
Haha, that is so funny because I literally just commented above that I do not like Dr. Pepper. I have just never been a fan. Therefore, I have never even tried the Zevia version. I am definitely all about the colas though!
PB & Kale fried rice? So original. I’m very intrigued!
It was taaaasty! Check back on Friday for a link to the recipe 🙂
I agree with Jesse! It looks amazing, I can’t wait to see the recipe!
Just so you know – I tried Vega just because I saw you use it so much – guess what? I bought more Vega protein this weekend from Iherb…where do you find the best prices on it as I’m in love!
That is awesome! I LOVE it. I actually have been buying it at Whole Foods whenever I see it on sale. I have heard that iHerb is a good place to get it, as well as Vitacost. I really need to start ordering it online and saving myself some money 😉
Not ending the night with popcorn would be such a crime. I haven’t had a regular potato in way too long…def grabbing some at the store and topping it with alllll the peas 🙂
You and I definitely share a love for both popcorn and peas….some of the best things in life! 😉
Ooooo I’m looking forward to those breakfast nachos! They look awesome!! I haven’t had popcorn in so long … and every time I read one of your posts I mentally make a note to buy some … and then forget haha : )
Haha!! It sounds like you need to write yourself an ACTUAL note 😉 I hope you get some soon so that you can satisfy that craving!
Those scrambled breakfast nachos look amazing! I can’t wait for the recipe tomorrow!
Well it won’t be tomorrow….I still have A LOT of other recipes I need to post before then…but soon! 🙂
Ooh sorry, I totally read that wrong. Well I’m excited for the recipe whenever it’s posted! 😀
Haha, too funny!! 😉
While peas & pasta sauce over potato (wow, lots of p foods!) sounds a little strange, good for you for satisfying your craving… and then sharing it with us! 🙂
Haha, that IS a lot of “p” foods! And yes…so strange, but so good 🙂
Yum! Zebra drinks are awesome, I also like the root beer.
Apple, AB and chocolate are a killer combo. I also like to throw on coconut flakes!
Have you tried their ginger root beer flavor?? I LOVE it!
I love these types of posts too!
Aren’t they so fascinating? I love seeing what other people eat 😉
Do you think Zevia would basically sponsor my life? I’m still obsessed with those…had a cream soda today, actually! :-p
Haha!! We should totally contact them and see if they are up to that 😉
Oooooh those apples and chocolate- why haven’t I done this before?!
It took me forever to try it, so don’t worry. But seriously…don’t waste anymore time and make sure you give it a go. It is SO good!
I can’t wait for the breakfast nachos recipe! I love anything with avocado. I usually have toast with avocado and tomato, but I really ought to spice it up a bit! I also have a ton of apples right now and am so making myself a bowl of gooey nut butter, apple and chocolate goodness while I catch up on Nashville tonight!
You definitely need to make both!! And I am so with you on the avocado/toast thing. Have you ever tried toast with jam, avocado, and sea salt? The sweet/savoriness of it is awesome!E
Oh yum…that apple concoction looks amazing!
It is seriously fantastic. You must try it and then let me know what you think!
A smoothie needs to happen tomorrow! Way too long since I had my last one.
And these nachos look so good – excited for the recipe!!
I pretty much have a smoothie almost every single day…you could say I am a bit addicted 😉
Looks like a fabulous day of eats!! I love the sound of that afternoon snack…I am totally going to have to recreate that.
Do it!! It is a MUST make! You will love it 🙂
Breakfast nachos? I think I love you. 😉
Ohh yes, I went there! Recipe on Thursday 🙂
