Hello and Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone’s having a beautiful day! The week is flying by! I still feel like it’s Monday, but it clearly is not. Which I’m mighty thankful for.

Now, let’s get the What I Ate Wednesday party started. It’s almost the best day of the weekend…behind Thursday, Friday, and Saturday;)

Since I can’t seem to get up any later than 4:30 these days, I’ve been taking the chance to getting my workouts in bright and early. Well, it’s not really bright at that time, but it sure is early.

Over here, the gyms don’t open until 5:3o, so I’m forever grateful I have enough equipment at home to get my workouts in. This way I also don’t have to deal with all the sickness, germs, and people at this time;)

One pilates workout later, and I was ready for a cup of tea. Followed by my leisurely tea drinking, I take the puppy out again, wash a few dishes, and prep my Breakfast to eat.

Breakfast -

{ Oat bran, banana, cinnamon, stevia, coconut flour, and coconut butter }

When I looked at my fruit bowl last night, I saw a perfectly ripe banana and knew it had to go in my Breakfast this morning.

Can anyone even argue the fact that banana and coconut are a combo meant to be. So good.

It’s been crazy with rain over here, so no enjoying the Spring time sun for me, but somehow the morning ended up passing by pretty fast. Probably due to all the puppy training. Next thing I knew, I was hungry again. After a quick trip to Starbucks for some much needed coffee, I made a quick meal.

Lunch -

{ Quinoa cooked in veggie broth, a huge handful of spinach, mixed with nutritional yeast, and half an avocado on top. }

Somehow, I ended up doing a little prep work Sunday (yay for progress) and had some extra quinoa on hand, which made this meal possible.

Isn’t it crazy how fast laundry seems to pile up? I swear I just did it, but yet again I had a huge load of laundry and chores to complete. Chores are the worst, but necessary. Cleaning always has the power to wake up my appetite, even more so than exercise. Odd.

Snack -

{ Pumpkin “cookie dough” }

This lovely bowl had a mix of oats, pumpkin, coconut flour, almond milk, and a little almond butter.

It’s been a while since I really craved a big bowl of veggies for Dinner, but since the craving hit I decided to go for it.

Dinner -

A bowl of homemade tomato sauce with some extra steamed zucchini and cauliflower (I actually had it without a reaction-good news I suppose).

On the side I had roasted parsnips that were baked in coconut oil, a little pink himalayan sea salt, and rosemary. One of my favorites.

Now, I’m sipping on some tea, reading a few blogs, and writing this post before relaxing a bit before bed.

Some deliciousness always follows at the end of the day. It will probably be the same old thing. Muffin, coconut flour frosting, and nut butter. I’m in a super rut with this nighttime Snack, but since it keeps me full until the morning, I’ll most likely stick with it until I’m sick of it.

And one more thing, thanks for the comments on yesterdays post! You all have great tips too!

Are you a fan of coconut? If you haven’t tried coconut butter, I insist you try it.

What are your favorite flavor combinations?

What time do you usually wake up at on week days?

Have a great day!
