Welcome to another “What I Ate Wednesday.” Meander on over to Jenn’s blog, Peas & Crayons, for more about the series and to see posts from other bloggers.
Happy Wednesday! Anyone else feeling the full moon lunar eclipse? I feel like the energy of this one is very constructive and collaborative and not quite as crazy-inducing as full moons tend to be. I woke up early for a quick workout and to tweak an article before heading to the clinic. I have several looming deadlines, and I was really happy to be able to head home on the early side of the afternoon and get some more stuff out of the way.
I was especially glad I had time for a filling snack/dinner part 1 before class, because we ran late and dinner wasn’t until close to 10 pm. I did manage to stumble on a new favorite combination: eggs with melted babybel cheese. I mean, dude—why did it take me so long to try this? F-ing amazing. It was good brain food for the case studies I spent the rest of my night working on.
Again, Wednesdays tend to be the day I rely on a lot of stand-bys, but it was nice to have restaurant leftovers as part of lunch and to make something new (to me) for dinner.
Breakfast: Overnight oats topped with berries
I'm loving the early-morning light
Lunch: Caravan of Dreams leftovers over greens with added avocado, cucumber and roasted pepper
Snack: Green smoothie with oats and a little coconut oil swirled on top
Late Dinner: Eggs on an Ezekiel English muffin with sliced Babybel cheese melted on top; grilled asparagus
Snack: Chocolate Banana Softserve w/ a crumbled date ball (made a new batch finally)
Hope you had a good Wednesday!
What was the best thing you ate this week?
can i have some date balls please?
also, that picture with the coconut oil is very pretty.
and i think i have to get on the overnight oats bandwagon pretty soon.
I’ll make some to bring to NJ with me next week. I also think you’d love the overnight oats-so easy and good!
wow I really need to learn how to make overnight oats. I don’t really know how to make them, I guess. Do you cook them first then have them cold?
They’re so simple! Just mix oats (I usually do 1/4-1/3 c) with whatever spices you want, 1-2 tbsp chia seeds and/or flax, some sliced banana and whatever other fruit and then either milk (any kind works) or yogurt. I like to add cocoa powder sometimes too, and will use protein powder once in a while.
Anyway, stir it and leave it overnight in the fridge. In the morning, you end up with a really thick, doughy bowl of oats. I like to top mine with more fruit, sometimes chocolate shavings. I’ve seen people use PB and almond butter too. I add a little cottage cheese too in the a.m. sometimes.
its after 1am and I totally want your late night dinner in my belly… nowwww! <3 Happy WIAW love!
