Good Morning Lovelies! And a happy Wednesday to you all!
Welcome back to another week of the What I Ate Wednesday fun!
These are all of my eats from Tuesday, as per usual. I’ve been waking up every morning for the past 2-3 weeks with a crazy headache and super sore throat, so I really hope I don’t have strep throat, but I’ve had it like 479 times, so I wouldn’t be surprised if I did. Anywhoooo…
I woke up this morning and intended on having a rest week from exercise, but that didn’t exactly happen, oopsy-daisy. I ended up wide awake at about 4 AM, and couldn’t get back to sleep so just figured I’d go to spin class, it was a great class but I was exhausted by the end.
8 – Breakfast: Overnight Oat Bran
Oat bran, egg whites, chia seeds, hemp seeds, cinnamon, stevia, pumpkin, with a protein PB ball. Served with a side of coffee.
As usual, you guys have seen this quite a lot, but here it is once again. Hopefully you’re not too bored by seeing this meal.
It’s just oh so refreshing after a hot, sweaty spin class. This time when I made the overnight oat bran I put my protein ball on the bottom of the bowl and then the oat bran overtop to sit overnight. It was fun while eating, because at the end I got a little PB surprise 
, which I like to save for last anyways.
After breakfast, I caught up on the Bachelorette and read the good ol’ Reality Steve site for some bachelorette gossip. (P.S. Don’t read unless you like spoilers, like I do)
11:30 – Lunch: Roasted Veggies + Socca
Roasted cauliflower and zucchini in this nutty sauce (I halved the recipe and didn’t add garlic or chopped nuts-sooo good!) with a side of socca topped with nutritional yeast and a side of tomato paste mixed with stevia for dipping.
3 – Snack: Protein Goo
I wasn’t super hungry for an afternoon snack, but I figured since I went to spin class earlier, I should definitely eat something. I made Kristin’s Protein Goo recipe, but used a mashed previously frozen banana that I melted, 1.5 tablespoons coconut flour, 1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder, stevia, and the protein powder the recipe calls for. So tasty!
5 – Dinner:
Roasted broccoli slaw, kale, and tempeh roasted in coconut oil, nutritional yeast, and crushed red pepper flakes. Served with a side of homemade marinara sauce. I just love roasted vegetables.
7 – Snack #1: Cashew Butter Milk to have while watching some One Upon A Time episodes. Forgot to picture this one.
8 – Snack #2:
Muffin with a side of protein frosting mixed with 1/2 tablespoon coconut butter
Today was a bit of an off day in terms on hunger, but everything still turned out healthy and delicious as usual. My stomach has been acting up again, as it sometimes does, because of my IBS, so hopefully it will settle down soon. My doctor wants to run some tests, so maybe that will explain some things.
Hope you are all having a fantastic Wednesday!
Enjoy the rest of your day!
What do you usually eat before bed?

I recently got into the whole overnight oat trend, and I have been loving it! I didn’t know you could use oat bran?! I can’t wait to try that!
Yah! I prefer oat bran to oats! Well I don’t like yogurt in oat bran, but its good with egg whites
Do you roast your broccoli slaw, kale and tempeh all together? That dinner sounds so good…I love all those together….I usually just sauté in a pan but roasting sounds better! Also, never thought of doing overnight oat bran…I do the oats, but oat bran is different…can you do without the egg whites to make vegan?
Yep! I roast it all together! Yah, its such a good combo! Roasting is definitely better, I love how the flavours come together and the vegetables get so tender. Yeah, you could for sure make them vegan! I’ve never tried them the vegan way, but I’m sure its possible. I just like egg whites hah.
I was up at 4am this morning too!! I debated going outside, but wasn’t sure how safe London was at that time, so I did a couple abs circuits in bed and read a bit. I love broccoli slaw for dinner. I miss that and socca.
cashew butter milk? I’ll have to check that out.
Oh yah, I’d definitely be scared to go out at that time in the morning! It’s so tasty the cashew butter gets all melted into the milk
Oh nooo I am sorry you are feeling sick and have been! I have a rather terrible soar throat and headache as well right now, and it started yesterday while at work, ugh
here is to hoping neither of us get sick! I want to try that protein goo, I am intrigued! Great eats lady, my night has been ending with a protein muffin lately too, good choice
Yep, its definitely not fun! I don’t want to get a full blown sickness, but waking up this morning I think its looking that way..ugh! I love protein muffins!
i just found your blog and love your recipes and meal ideas. i am not a big fan of snacks and would rather amp up on veggies and salads for my meals but your protein muffins look tempting. any favourite recipe you can recommend?
Thank you!
I definitely like the original that I posted here. Now I’m more into 2 tablespoons teff flour, 1 tablespoon coconut and the rest of the ingredients the same.
Ahhh what a great looking day of eats sweetheart
Before bed I always have my casein and a nut butter 
Thanks! I still got to try your casein recipe, but I don’t have any at the moment hah got to use up my current protein powder
I am watching the Bachlorette this season too! That website sounds really fun to read while watching! I am going to have to check it out.
Definitely be aware that it basically has spoilers of the whole season!
Hope your stomach feels better girl <3
I need to buy oat bran soon, I do love it but always just buy oats!
Thanks! I used to only buy oats, until I tried oat bran and now I can’t get enough.
I hate when my stomach acts up and throws off my feelings of hunger. Really bothers me and throws off my schedule/usual eats! I could never get sick of looking at your oat bran, it’s prob the prettiest oat bran to see in the blog world, and w/all the oatmeal out there in this world you know that’s saying something
Yah it is definitely not fun having stomach issues! Haha, aw thank you! That is so sweet, considering I have a crappy camera, and didn’t think my pictures were very good! You’re the sweetest
Your eats always look so divine, I want to bookmark this page and eat a full day like this! So healthy + delicious = perfect combo!!
Thank you Gillian! I love your eats too!
I’ve got nutritional yeast on its way to my apartment, I should be getting it any day now. I’m super excited to start using it as well.
I still need to catch up on the bachelorette from Monday (I did finally see Sunday’s Mad Men though
I actually like going to bed a little hungry, which is why if I do have anything sweet, it’s usually shortly after dinner.
Love Mad Men! Oh man, I can never go to bed hungry! I guess because I workout right when I get up
What a yummy day of eats! i’m sorry that your tummy has been acting up, babe. <3
Before bed, I love to make chai protein pudding (with perfect fit protein powder) and a nice, hot mug of rooibos tea! So comforting.
Ooh sounds good! I always love having hot tea or something hot before bed too!
I hope you get stuff figured out with your stomach! I know that is no fun to deal with. All of your eats look so delicious. During school I tended to eat oatmeal for my evening snack. Lately though I’ve been having greek yogurt and granola!
Yah, definitely not the most fun thing to deal with, especially when I get stressed out about it, that only makes things worse haha. I looove greek yogurt and granola lately as well!
I tend to eat the same things also- I switch it up every few weeks. I’m in a green smoothie/ handful of blueberries breakfast phase right now.
I try not to eat after 8 pm (of course this doesn’t always work out) so I make homemade ice pops and eat those if I want something
That’s a good plan! Yah, I just tend to get stuck on certain things and then one day don’t crave them so move on to the next thing!
I always like to save the peanut butter for the end too. Checking out your protein balls now!
Hehe, its the way to eat, savour the best bite for last!
Hi from WIAW- I practically eat the same thing for breakfast every day too… boring to some, but I love it. I applaud your journey- I’ve been there too, though that isn’t what my blog is about now, we have similar messages about being a strong woman! Cheers!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that, off to check out your blog!
Socca and roasted vegetables look wonderful!
Thanks!
Feel better! I like a piece of fruit and a small sweet – either a Clif KidZ Bar, a piece of dark chocolate, or an apple or banana with peanut butter.
Thanks! I’ve never actually had a Clif Bar before! I hear they are pretty good though
I never had the bigger ones, but I know a lot of people who love them. The Kid bars are a good snack or after-dinner treat if you are looking for something sweet. Iced Oatmeal Raisin is one of my favorites!
I swear, I used to get strep all.the.time. I’ve been sick for like a week now and still have a cough! Hope you feel better!
Its so weird that I get it so often! I think I’m just going to ask my doctor if I can get my tonsils removed, its getting ridiculous haha. Hope you get better fast too! Especially since you’ve been sick for a week!
I’ve been trying SO hard not to read Reality Steve this season, but it’s requiring some serious self-restraint. My girlfriends and I have a pact not to peek, but the link at the top of this post is calling my name. Heelllpppp!
(By the way, who is your favorite? As of this week, my leading man is Ari! Things were getting pretty hot and steamy!)
Great eats, girl! I’m totally intrigued by the PB goo; I’m going to go check it out now! And uggh, I’m so sorry to hear your stomach has been acting up. I can completely relate (I have IBS too…whoop). If you ever want to chat/swap tips, shoot me an email!
Love you! xoxo
Haha! Oh no, sorry I posted the link then
I always peek! I swore to myself I wouldn’t, but there is some good juice this season! Now, I just can’t restrain myself. I totally loved Arie! Now, not so much…that’s all I’ll reveal hah.
The PB goo is so good! Kristin has the best recipes. I may just have to give you an e-mail, stomach issues are the worst! Love you too sweetie!
What kind of protein powder do you use? I’m always on the hunt for a yummy vanilla tasting one.
I use vega vanilla chai and sun warrior vanilla, I definitely prefer vega though!
Oh my gosh, have you ever tried caraway seeds? I suffer from IBS myself, and after every meal/snack i take a small palm-full of the seeds and wash them down with a sip of water. They have seriously helped me SOOOO MUCH. If you take them after every meal/snack, they help to prevent bloating and gas, and inhibit the growth of bad bacteria in the tummy. I highly recomend them!
No. I’ve actually heard of caraway seeds, but never tried them. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll definitely try them out now, especially after hearing that they work well!
