Remember my Day in the Life post from yesterday?! Remember how I didn’t show you any of the food I ate?! Haha, that’s because I saved it for today’s WIAW! Yes, lame that I’m repeating a day, but I tried to remember to photograph my food every day since Friday and this was the first day I actually managed to do it!
For those of you new to What I Ate Wednesday, check out Jen’s blog Peas and Crayons to learn more about WIAW and check out the other blogs who are participating!
This month’s theme is Sensible Snacking, which is great for me because my afternoon and after-dinner snack were very sensible! Okay, minus the random candies…
You already know how my day went… so here are my eats:
For breakfast I made some overnight oats! I made my typical Pumpkin Pie Oats and, while still hot, I poured them into an almost empty almond butter jar!
And yes, that is a Costco sized jar. And yes, I had to use an extra big spoon to reach the bottom…
I had coffee when I got to work (shamefully from McDonalds… just so cheap).
And then for lunch it was time for Mexican Quinoa. I need some way to season this, but I wasn’t sure how to and just threw this together! It’s 1/2 cup cooked quinoa, 1/2 cup black beans, steamed squash, roasted mushrooms and roasted tomatoes.
For my afternoon snack, I had a sliced up Gala apple and a KIND bar:
And then a café au lait from Argo Tea:
When I got home I was craving a green smoothie and a sweet potato! The smoothie was a TON of spinach, 1/3 cup almond milk, 1 cup frozen peaches, 1 T protein powder, stevia, vanilla, and water to help it mix up.
It actually wasn’t too filling, so I had my go-to snack as part of my dinner: Pumpkin mixed with protein powder, cinnamon and vanilla with some cocoa powder mixed with protein powder on the side.
A little while later I was craving something salty, so I made some popcorn (x2!):
So good! Hit the spot! I also had some random candies from my drawer during the day:
What’s your favorite kind of granola bar?
