Some days my eats are awesome meals & snacks that I put an artistic flair into. Other days, the food I eat is not quite as exciting. It may be because I was just too busy to spend time or energy getting creative, or perhaps I just wasn’t in the mood to be. Today is a good example of a pretty boring yet healthy day of eats:
My breakfast was a bowl of Kashi Go Lean cereal with sliced banana + almond milk:
For lunch I reheated some leftover veggie chili. I crunched up some multigrain crackers with sea salt from Crunchmasters on top. It was a little snack bag I got in my KLUTCHclub box shipment. The verdict? Light, yummy, and the mini bag was the perfect amount for adding some crunchiness to my soup.
Late in the afternoon, I took Harley for a hike. After experiencing toasty weather in the mid 90s last week, the lows 70s and cloudy today felt cool. It was nice, plus Harley doesn’t get tired out quickly when it’s cooler out.
Harley despises posing for pictures. She pretty much looks everywhere except the camera 99% of the time! But how cute is she in this shot?
I think she is one happy puppy when she’s hiking around outside!
When we got back from our 90 minute hike, I made my beloved chocolate peanut butter protein shake to hold my hunger over for a couple of hours so that I could hold out to have dinner with my hubby (which didn’t wind up happening anyways – by 7:30 I was too hungry to wait any longer!).
In the mix:
- 1/2 banana
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk
- 1 packet of Stevia sweetener
- 1 TBSP cocoa powder
- 2 TBSP of PB 2
- Ice
I’m already getting to the bottom of my PB 2 — I’m officially obsessed with this stuff and have been eating some every day since I bought it!
For dinner, I threw together some whole grain rotini with a touch of butter and grated pecorino romano with string beans.
And then a little while ago, I snacked on a mango.
After a couple of kind of easy peazy food days, I usually get in a recipe creation/cooking kind of mood… and that’s exactly how I’m feeling right now. I have a few recipe ideas floating around in my head that I’m going to experiment with in the next few days. Good night!
