Wed. Eats

Let's join in the fun and do some What I Ate Wed.

8:00am
Breakfast
Breakfast cookie & 2 hard boiled eggs. (I skip the yolk)

11:00am
Post Workout 
Peanut Butter Choc. Oat Shake

1:30pm 
Lunch
Turkey wrap with hummus and spinach lettuce

  
I dipped it in some of this deliciousness

For fat free dressing, it has some pretty good nutritional stats. Sometimes the fat free ones can be loaded up on extra sugar. 

On the side, I had a new to me snack. A warmed apple with cinnamon on top. Love anything apple related, so I don't know why I never thought of this. Heated it up for 30 seconds & viola !

6pm 
For dinner, I went with leftover snap peas, baked chicken, and a potato with salsa.

The salsa surprised me yesterday, it ended up being a good combo. All of you guys that know me, know I prefer bland, non-spicy food. I made it about half way through the potato and saved the rest for tomorrow.

9pm
Vanilla greek yogurt for some extra protein. If I don't eat before bed, I wake up starving the next morning. 

This is what a typical day of eats looks like for me. I tend to eat pretty much the same foods for breakfast/lunch and just switch up dinner. As you can see, I try to eat every four hours and aim for about 5 meals a day. If I go more than four hours without eating, I am not a happy camper haha.

Tell me friends, what is your go to after dinner snack? Mine is greek yogurt, easy & convenient.

Typically do you stick with the same breakfast or like to switch it up? I like to switch up my breakfast on the weekend, but during the week it usually stays the same.

Jello Legs

Good morning!
Lots of squats, walking lunges, and leg extensions over here yesterday. Woah. Hello jello legs!

After my workout yesterday, I needed to fuel up since I was starved. I went with one of my favorite shake combinations:

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Oat Shake
 

For oats, my favorite is Bob's Red Mill brand. They can be a little pricey at $6.99 a bag, but worth it. I can't take any chances getting glutened from regular oats.

 Recipe:
1/2 cup of oats
1 tablespoon of peanut butter
1/2 scoop of whey protein powder
1/2 cup of liquid egg whites
And blend!

It looks gross, but tastes so good! In the pic above, it shows whey & soy protein. Usually I always use whey, but ran out & Stop and Shop only had whey and soy. For me, the soy makes the shake a little too chunky. 

What is your favorite shake combo or your go to post-workout snack?


While wobbling around at work last night, I put together a quick meal

After my pizza indulged weekend, my stomach was missing some green veggies. Some baked chicken with roasted cauliflower and snap peas for the win. #weekend detox

I'm off to school and work. Hopefully catch up on some really important reading on my break ;)

 Hope everyone has a good Tuesday. See you guys tomorrow !
