Happy Wednesday, all! I hope you survived St. Patty’s Day. Mine was less than eventful. Some working. Some eating. Some blogging. And some TV watching. That was about the extent of my day. But I’m not complaining. The hangover is never worth it, am I right?
By now you know exactly what happens on Clean Eating Veggie Girl nearly every Wednesday. It’s What I Ate Wednesday time! Let’s take a look at my eats from this past Sunday.
What I Ate Wednesday: March 18, 2015
This was quite the combination! I was craving two completely random things for breakfast, so I went with both. I made a breakfast sandwich with toasted gluten-free bread, vegan Field Roast Chao cheese, strawberry jam, and a sunny-side up egg. I loved the sweet and savory combo. On the side I ate a dish of cooked peas. What can I say, I am a major pea lover!
Lunch was a delicious vegan chickpea and veggie fried rice. I’ll have more on this tasty dish in a future post!
Snack #1 was a tasty sweet/sour Pink Lady apple. It is my favorite variety right now.
The usual late afternoon weekend snack suspect: a green smoothie! In the mix was unsweetened vanilla cashew milk, chocolate Vega One protein powder, flax-seed oil, frozen banana, frozen zucchini, and fresh spinach.
Dinner was quick, easy, and delicious! I made a veggie quesadilla and served it alongside black bean salsa and fresh tomato slices sprinkled with sea salt. The quesadilla contained red pepper hummus and zucchini, red peppers, green peppers, onions, and corn sautéed with a little bit of taco seasoning. This was so good!
My evening snack was a single-serve cacao nib banana bread muffin. I’ll be sharing more on this next week!
There you have it! A day of plant-based eats. Hopefully you found some new tasty meal and snack ideas. I hope y’all have a great Wednesday!

Pink lady or granny smith apples are definitely my faves – but lately I’ve been loving granny smith apples, microwaved for 20-30 seconds so they’re warm and slightly soft. The weather is getting cooler here so it’s the perfect warm up!
Oh it sounds like you would love one of my favorite snacks!! I dice up an apple and microwave it for about 60 seconds. Then I top it with cinnamon, nut butter of choice, and a few dark chocolate chips. It is heavenly!
Your breakfast looks like it would be right up Eleanor’s alley – if she ever gets the chance to choose what it eat, it’s “peas and cheese!”
Haha that’s so funny!!! She’s a smart little girl!
You’re making me crave a veggie quesadilla. I think I know what I’m having for lunch today. Thanks for the inspiration.
You are so welcome! You can never ever go wrong with a veggie quesadilla… easy and delicious!
Argh! Look at that muffin! It looks fantastic. 😀
It was SO good!! I think it will become my new favorite evening dessert 🙂
That banana bread muffin looks delicious!
It is really tasty! I’m excited to share the recipe next week 🙂
Ohhh that chickpea fried rice sounds awesome! And that chocolate chip banana muffin would be the perfect dessert!
Yes… both were great to eat and all on the same day. I’m looking forward to sharing the recipes for both soon 🙂
Oh the rice looks delicious! I have been looking for more ways to eat rice!
It can be so easy to forget about how delicious (and easy to make) rice is! I’m trying to incorporate it into my diet more. You can expect that recipe coming your way over the next couple of weeks 🙂
Chickpeas? Rice? Sign me up for that lunch – it looks delicious!
It is one of the best combos, don’t you think?? 🙂
Pea for breakfast! Haha, I love you!
And omg…that muffin! You kill me with the suspense!
And I LOVEEEEEEEEE Fuji forever, but also Pacific Rose….but really all apples…..I never complain 😉
I’m pretty open to ALL apples, too!! Often times I pick whatever is on sale. I like to say that I do not discriminate 😉
Man! You make even the most basic meals look pretty. I can’t wait to see the muffin recipe. Looks delicious! =)
Thanks, Miranda! I hope it gives you some yummy inspiration for meals and snacks. I’ll be sharing the muffin recipe next week!
Oooh that muffin looks delicious! haha I can’t get over the peas for breakfast but hey whatever works! I like jam on my egg sandwich as well.
YES for the sweet and savory combo. I love that others are loving it 🙂 And maybe I will someday convince you of the pea thing… 😉
I love that you had peas for breakfast. Whatever works! I have been known to have a bowl full of leftovers for breakfast in the morning from time to time.
Sometimes we just crave foods that aren’t “breakfast foods,” right? I think it’s important to listen to my body, so I usually roll with it!
That quesadilla looks awesome!! I never thought about having a green smoothie as an afternoon snack…I have them for breakfast when I have time to whip one up, but what a great idea for an afternoon boost of energy! I’m definitely trying that going forward :-).
My favorite apple variety is the Gala apple!
Smoothies make for AWESOME snacks! They are delicious, filling, and super refreshing. I hope you give ’em a try 🙂
Those muffins look DELICIOUS!
It was pretty darn tasty if I do say so myself!!
What good looking meals…and so fresh!
I loved every single thing that I ate this day! Days of good eats make me so happy 🙂
I love the quesadilla! Looks good!
It was amazing!! If you have never tried make a quesadilla with hummus, you NEED to!!
Yum! I too love pink ladies. And now that my son loooooves peas, I find myself eating them quite often. Not complaining! 🙂
It sounds to me like he a smart little fellow! I’m glad to hear it is rubbing off on you too 😉
i’ve been craving green apples lately, but in salads. It’s the tartiness. haha. And now i want some peas thanks to this post. 😉
For some crazy reason I have never tried green apples in a salad. Holy cow, I feel a craving coming on! 😉
I like apple slices with peanut butter.
You and me both! It is SUCH a good combo. I also love apple slices with almond butter and cashew butter!
I’m loving Pink Lady apples right now too! I picked up a bag of them at Trader Joe’s this weekend and they are the perfect afternoon pick-me-up. Your quesadilla looks amazing! I’ve never made a veggie quesadilla — I’ll have to give that a try!
Yes for another Pink Lady lover! You are a good apple picker 😉
And yes, you NEED to try making veggie quesadillas. They are SO easy and delicious. You’ll wonder why you never do it before. I also highly recommend adding a spicy hummus. It is so good!
As a fellow pea lover, I say peas are delicious any time of day! And Pink Lady all. the. way. Looks like a great day of eats! Can’t wait to hear about that muffin!
I LOVE when I find other pea lovers!! I think we are our own breed 😉
Yum yum yum! Everything looks so good. I’m a major pea lover too. I’m so excited for spring because that’s when all the pea recipes come out! 🙂
Yes!! There are SO many awesome Spring-time veggies 🙂
I love the idea of throwing chickpeas into fried rice! 😀 I may have to do that this weekend during my weekly meal prep!
DO IT!! You won’t regret it 🙂
I love Pink Lady apples! They pretty much tie with Honeycrisp in my book. I love the sweet/tart/crunch of both varieties (as opposed to mealy). Fiji and Gala are great, but they’re hit or miss as far as texture and sweetness. I’ve been eating breakfast for dinner. Eggs, pancakes, vegan sausage…I like eating light at night and eating my heavier meal for lunch these days. I want to try that Field Roast Chao cheese you mentioned—it sounds like a great addition to one of my dinner omelets. 🙂
The Field Roast cheese is SO good!! I hope you give it a try. I also love hearing about other brinner lovers out there. It is one of my favorite things and it’s SO easy to throw together! P.S. You have great taste in apples! 😉
