Morning all! Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday!
It’s definitely tough to make a strong comeback after such tragic news hits everyone so hard, but we must be strong for those who can’t be throughout this period of time. Hopefully you’re sharing your positive energy with others who deeply need it right now.
Of course, with it being What I Ate Wednesday, today is all about the food.
After I got up, I rolled out my matt and got my pilates workout on. It felt nice to get moving first thing in the morning. It’s always my preferred time of day to work out. Probably since I get up super early, it seems to fit in well with my schedule.
Breakfast -
{ Buckwheat bowl with added strawberries on top. }
Immediately after my workout, is always meal time. I don’t understand how some people can get by with no food in the morning.
Except, I used to be one of those people. In high school, I went through a phase where I never ate in the morning, not sure how that happened for all those years. But, I wasn’t the healthiest back then.
Lunch -
Nothing too crazy over here for Lunch, I made some sweet potato and turkey chili over the weekend and had some leftovers, so this chili was an obvious choice. It’s all I could need in a chili. Complex carbs, healthy fats, and protein to boot. With a little more avocado on top, it was the perfect meal to fuel me for the afternoon.
Even if it was super sunny and hot outside, chili is a perfectly acceptable option.
Snack -
Once home again, I got hit with a chocolate craving. Good thing I just stocked up on some lovely dark chocolate at the store. Unfortunately, I still can’t find my beloved dark chocolate with sea salt, so dragoba dark chocolate will have to do for now.
After, I dug into an apple for some added snack-age.
One of my little quirks, has to be that I don’t like putting that much effort into my night routine. When I come home, or if I’m out all day, the last thing I want to do is be in the kitchen for hours preparing food for that night or the next day, which is really why I need to start prepping one day per week.
Instead of working hard in the kitchen, I simply went back to my roots and make some Breakfast for Dinner. An all-time favorite meal for me.
Taking a cue from my lovely friend Amanda, I made a bowl of sweet and savory oat bran for Dinner time. As weird as it sounds, it totally works together!
Dinner -
{ Oat bran, a bit of coconut/almond milk, banana, a little ground white chia seeds, and topped with raw cashew butter and mashed avocado. }
Right now I seem to be really into Breakfast all day. When the stomach woes happen, I know that carb and fruit filled meals are going to be my friend over vegetables. It’s just how it is.
And now, I’m off to dig into my nightly snack, as it’s calling my name.
Nighttime Snack -
{ Muffin top, coconut flour “frosting”, and almond butter too - Not visually appealing in the slightest, but it’s mighty delicious! }
My bed it also calling out to me, but Lola doesn’t seem to be tired at the moment. Time to run laps around the house, which will hopeful tucker her out a bit.
Happy Wednesday!
Favorite type of chocolate?
Do you prefer to exercise in the morning or later in the day?
What’s your favorite Breakfast for Dinner meal? Since I don’t eat eggs, oats or toast will be a clear winner for me.
Have a wonderful day!
