Hello party people! Another round of What I Ate Wednesday is upon us! I have been a veggie monster lately, so the extra vegetable addition this April has been no problemo 
Breakfast was a new little creation I tried out using my coconut flour. Coconut Oatmeal.
- 1/4 cup oatmeal
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup pumpkin + 1/4 cup mashed banana
- 1/2 cup egg whites
- 1 cup water or milk alternative
- 1/2 teaspoon stevia + 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- topped with Katie’s protein frosting
I combined the first 3 ingredients with the water and microwaved for 3 minutes. Then I added the mashed banana and pumpkin and egg whites and microwaved that for about 5 minutes. I then mixed it up and added the stevia and vanilla, put it in a bowl and topped with protein frosting. It was so good. Seriously, coconut flour in oats tastes like cake batter.
Lunch was a new little adventure: roasted broccoli, cauliflower and tempeh roasted in the oven with coconut oil, nutritional yeast, and fresh dill. Tempeh is a new to me protein and I actually really liked it! It tastes sort of nutty or something. Nothing like tofu, which is good because I hate tofu. And I now love fresh dill. I had never used it before for some odd reason, and I am now convinced it is the best herb ever. Delicious.
After lunch I had a hair appointment, so I literally rushed out the door and didn’t get back until later and forgot to bring a snack. I got home and whipped up a quick smoothie and drank that up fast, so didn’t picture it. It was just made with almond milk, vanilla vega protein, kale, strawberries, and ice.
For Dinner I had a [recycled picture] meal of roasted kabocha squash with a side of coconut butter. Kabocha is the best. If you haven’t tried it go to your super market and search for it. I swear it will be the best decision ever.
Now I’m off to eat another greeeeen muffin. This time it had brown rice flour, pumpkin, spinach, and egg whites. Scrumptious! I served it with a side of peanut flour paste!
Today’s meals were certainly veggielicous. Vegetables at every meal! Coolness.
Now to spend the remainder of the night catching up with my book and heading to bed.
What’s the best thing you ate today?
Stay lovely,

Everything looks soo good! I can NEVER find kabocha squash, not sure why
I’m going on a serious search when I have time over the summer 
Do it! It’s so random, but the only place that usually has it is this Japanese market located downtown! They always have it stocked up like crazy too!
Argh, I forget about WIAW EVERY WEEK! I need to set a reminder on my phone for next week or something.
Haha, just remember its always Wednesday! Or setting a reminder would probably work better
This is the second WIAW I’ve seen today with that squash! Guess I gotta look for it next time I’m at the store
The oatmeal fanatic in me loves the sound of your breakfast, too!
It’s so good! Definitely keep a look out for it! Oh yes, the coconut flour in the oats was seriously the best and I’m an oatmeal fanatic too

It’s a lot of squash haha. And I also have a pretty big night snack that has some carbs in it!
I need to try coconut flour…and basically coconut anything haha. I get so envious whenever I see it on other blogs! And I would have wanted to pass out in that heat during the beginning of your spinning class! I’m so glad someone said something!
