I’m scratching the small talk this morning and getting straight to the food… the What I Ate Wednesday food! Most Wednesdays I share a peek into a day of my weekend eats. I decided to mix things up this week and show what I ate on a work day during the week. Here are my mostly plant-based eats from Monday:
I’m linking up with Jenn from Peas and Crayons for WIAW!
What I Ate Wednesday: February 25, 2015
I always, always start out my workday with a green smoothie. I like to refer to it as “breakfast #1.” This particular smoothie contained unsweetened coconut milk, Vega One chocolate protein powder, frozen banana, frozen spinach, frozen cucumber, and fresh spinach. I swear, you cannot taste allll of those greens. Instead, it tastes like drinking a chocolate milkshake for breakfast!
For the past several months, I have been making up a big batch of oats every Sunday for breakfasts for the week. This particular batch included unsweetened coconut milk, pureed butternut squash (it’s actually sweeter than pumpkin), cinnamon, coconut sugar, flax seed oil, and quick oats. I also bring a small container with a couple of tablespoons of extra milk so that it gets creamy again when I reheat it. Lately, I have been adding a big dollop of sunflower seed butter on top, too!
Lunch was a bowl of leftover vegan lentil chili that I made on Saturday in the slow cooker.
I ate it alongside a couple of brown rice cakes. I love crackers in my soup/chili, but lately I have been crushing on rice cakes in their place.
I needed several snacks to get me through the afternoon. It was a Monday, after all. I started with this little baggie of baby carrots.
Next up was half of this container of homemade kale chips. Buying prepackaged kale chips is easy (and expensive), but the homemade ones are always my favorite. This is my tride and true go-to recipe.
Finally, I snacked on this organic gala apple right before the drive home from work.
I ate dinner around 7:00. I reheated three Vegan Lentil, Kale & Salsa Verde Enchiladas that I had made on Sunday night. I am truly obsessed with these. I love so many of Alexis’s recipes, but I think I have made this one the most!
My evening snacks were the usual. I am fairly predictable when it comes to food after dinner. I ate a small bowl of red seedless grapes…
…with a side of a giant bowl of popcorn. Sweet and salty for the win!
There is a day of my work day eats! Tell me… what have you been eating lately?
