Happy Hump Day! I am finally feeling a little better today, though I still woke up with a pounding headache…not sure what that is all about! At least I am not nauseated anymore and my appetite is back. Since I wasn’t feeling too good the last couple of days, I took it easy and didn’t go to CrossFit on Monday and attempted a “lighter” WOD yesterday. I felt okay, but pretty weak, since I didn’t consume much of anything on Monday…UGH!
Anyhow, enough of my babbling and onto another What I Ate Wednesday, thanks to the lovely Jenn at Peas and Crayons for hosting!
Here are my eats from today (and one of Keenan’s, since he had a different lunch than me):
Breakfast:
– No Oat Oatmeal (of course!) topped with almond butter and blueberries
My favorite “go-to” breakfast these days!
– Mocha Latte with a mix of dark chocolate and unsweetened vanilla almond milk
My new favorite way to enjoy my morning latte, since being on our Paleo challenge.
Lunch:
– Cobb Salad (without the bacon) and topped with sprouted pumpkin seeds from Go Raw
Nice and hearty!
Keenan enjoyed: Turkey rolls filled with spinach, avocado, mustard and little tzatziki sauce with Italian carrots on the side
Keenan loves this lunch!
Snack:
– Before heading to CrossFit, I’m planning on having my go-to snack of a half of a banana with some almond butter.
Dinner:
– Since we haven’t had dinner yet, I want to share what we ate last night, a new Paleo one-pot meal: Green Beans with Bacon. I adapted it from my aunt’s recipe that she traditionally makes for the holidays, using green beans, mushrooms and slivered almonds. It was super quick (perfect for a week night) and delicious! I knew it was hit because Keenan ate his beans by the spoonful!
A delicious and simple one-pot meal!
– For tonight, we are haveing Paleo BBQ Pork in the CrockPot (recipe coming soon!) with roasted broccoli, red onions and charred tomatoes. The pork smells good and the broccoli is already in the oven, using the delay start function to cook while we are at CrossFit.
Enjoy the rest of your day!
Questions:
– What did you eat today?
– Do you drink almond milk? If so, how do you drink it…in your coffee, smoothies, straight, etc?
Hmmm . . . my eats were pretty boring today (compared to yours!). I had my usual oatbran, a salad beast for lunch that was topped with baked, stuffed chicken, and dinner was quinoa salad. I think I”m going to make some coconut oil popcorn in a few minutes . . . . yum! 🙂
Ooh, baked, stuffed chicken sounds good! Also, I have to try popcorn with coconut oil! I haven’t thought to make it with coconut oil, but after seeing your post, it looks SO good!
My meals today don’t sound nearly as interesting as yours…cream of wheat for breakfast (I make less than a traditional serving size & cook it with milk to add some protein – keeps me full for hours), a kashi bar, an apple, leftover beef, carrots, leftover chicken, green beans, and whole grain rice medley (no seasoning). I don’t drink almond milk, but I’ve been really interested in trying it lately. That no-oat oatmeal sounds tasty…I just might have to make a batch this weekend.
There are some days where all I eat is leftovers, too! Today was a little more unusual! No Oat Oatmeal is my new favorite breakfast. You have to try it. You can also make a large batch, store it in the fridge and just reheat the portion you want in the morning. I love doing this to save time in the morning, especially with a VERY hungry toddler on my hands!
What a great day of meals so far.. for both you & your cutie pie 🙂
I put almond milk in my smoothies.
Thanks, Jessie! Ooh, I’ll have to try making smoothies with almond milk. Do you use plain or flavored?
Really good post! http://youtu.be/13i6eDO3CEQ
