Food Diary
This morning I woke up and decided I wanted to change things up with breakfast. I keep seeing green monsters on all the blogs I read and wanted to try my own. It was awesome! It’s a really simple recipe and it tastes so good.. I just wish I’d tried it sooner!
Breakfast: Green monster (recipe from Oh She Glows). I also had two slices of Ezekiel toast and three egg whites.
Morning Snack: Apple
Lunch: Spinach & chickpea curry from Vegan with a Vengeance and quinoa. It doesn’t look all that appetizing but it was delicious!
Afternoon Snack: Banana & an iced coffee.
Dinner: Kale salad (recipe from Oh She Glows). I’d been wanting to try this recipe for awhile now and finally had most of the ingredients on hand to make it. My version had kale, cucumber, tomato, sunflower seeds, avocado, carrot and a tahini dressing. Amazing!
There are insane storms here and more on the way so I’m outta here for tonight! The weather has been so weird lately and it’s kind of freaking me out. Are any of you guys having crazy weather too? If so, stay safe out there!
Be sure and check out what everyone’s eatin’ at the What I Ate Wednesday party! I love it because I find so many new bloggers & recipes from there!
stay safe in the crazy weather girl!!!!!! and happy delicious and colorful WIAW! xoxo
I will! :]
Eep! Hope the weather doesn’t get too crazy for you! We’ve been having rain for the past week and a half, but nothing scary like storms – just more down and depressing. The sun’s come out recently, though, so it’s a nice chance with summer and all
We keep getting these intense, windy storms with hail and everything. It’s been going on for awhile now. Plus, the power keeps cutting on and off.
I was looking forward to spending the first day of summer outside, but couldn’t. You get out there and enjoy that sunshine for me! haha :]
Ahhhh, you’re killing me with the amazing eats! I only tried a green monster once and really didn’t like it, but everyone always makes them so I’m wondering if I just had a bad one (shake or recipe, I don’t know). I need to try again!!
The recipe I used is pretty basic and the banana and almond butter really hide the spinach/greens. I didn’t have spinach on hand so I used mixed field greens. Try it again!
I have been meaning to try the green monster for a whiiiiiiiiiile now but haven’t gotten around to it yet! But now that I saw you tried it and loved it, I want to make it now! It does look interestingly gross in a way, but it really tastes good???
Haha.. interestingly gross made me laugh! It really is good. The almond butter and banana cover up the spinach. It’s not really sweet but maybe if you added a bit of agave it would help.
Gosh, you can make anything look delicious! And I’ve been really curious to try one of those monster things… hmm!
I’m so glad I could make your day! Every time I start to feel lazy and consider not doing the workout that day, I go look at your photos again for a boost of motivation!! I have to admit, I’m a little bit terrified of the weeks to come, haha. Did it ever get really hard? Like, enough to make you feel like quitting?
I am so glad you find it motivating! That means a lot to me :]
It never got so hard that I wanted to quit. Week 2 was the toughest workout for me just because I don’t like plank moves that much. Especially cardio using plank (insane!). As I started to see results it motivated me so much more to keep going. Plus, the fact that I had blogged about it made me not want to let anyone or myself down. Don’t be scared! It’s just thirty minutes a day and then it’s over. The only thing that will happen from it is you will get stronger and in better shape :]
Umm that vegan curry looks AWESOME!
It is! I’ve ben eating leftovers all week!
I think the spinach and chickpea curry looks awesome! Yum! Glad you jumped on the Green Monster train. They are delicious!
All of your photos are lovely!
They are delicious!
Thank you so much! I just found your blog the other day and love it!
Seriously the weather has been crazy for the past few days. Green smoothie is the perfect summer breakfast.
Ugh, I know. It’s just starting to storm again here now. I need the sun :[
I was late on the Green Monster craze as well. Wish I had tried it sooner, so delish. Even my bf loved it!
Mine did too! He watched me put each ingredient in the blender and you could see on his face he was like “ohhh haaaaale no” hahaha
but he tried it and really liked it.
