Yo yo yoooooooooo. Time to talk about all the food we ate. Let’s do this!
Breakfast
I noshed on a giant bowl o’ smoothie made with frozen blueberries, frozen raspberries, frozen nanner, a tablespoon of chia seeds, two big handfuls of spinach, a dash of vanilla, stevia and almond milk. I topped it off with my newest obesssion….Enjoy Life crunch flax cereal. There’s something beyond magical about eating a smoothie in a bowl and having lots and lots and lots of crunch in each and every bite. It also keeps me from getting bored with smoothies. A smoothie by itself doesn’t keep me full for breakfast either, so dumping healthy crunchies on top is the perf solution.
I also had some chai tea with almond milk aaaaaaand some leftover whole wheat pita and hummus from work last night at The Crest. Oh the randomness.
Lunch
Lunch (eaten in class per usual) was mushroom quinoa soup (recipe to come) plus more hummus and sliced peppers.
Snack
I’ve been trying not to drink coffee, but I was suuuuuuper tired so I grabbed a coffee with soymilk to drink with my last pumpkin quinoa muffin before class.
Dinner
Dinner was my fave Chipotle bowl: salad with brown rice, black and pinto beans, fajita veggies, tomato salsa, corn salsa, guac and smoky Chipotle tabasco.
Snack
I loooooved Rice Krispies as a kid. Now that I’ve discovered Erewhon’s crispy brown rice cereal, I’m totally addicted once again. I had a big bowl (plus a little refill or two) with ice cold almond milk.
Did you eat anything particularly delish today? Do tell!
I am loving all of the cereal in this post! I will now be on the hunt for some new ones. The flax kind sounds especially tasty! I’d love adding that to my overnight oats.

You would loooove the flax cereal! I love adding it to smoothies but it would be fabulous for some texture in overnight oats, too.
Everything looks delicious Alexis! I wish we had a Chipotle closer to us because I’d probably go there all the time. Yum!

I would DIE if there wasn’t a Chipotle down the road! Truth.
mmm i love chipotle! i love how much guac they give..its the best part!

The guy seriously loaded it up!! I was pumped.
Your Chipotle bowl is just like mine! Love that place… whoever said healthy food can’t come from fast food was entirely wrong. It’s all about decisions!

Nice!! I totally agree with you. Chipotle is the only “fast food” I eat though–I don’t even really consider it fast food. It’s more like good food with integrity, fast!
I kid you not — I’m currently sitting here munching on a bowl of Erewhon’s crispy brown rice cereal and remembering how much I used to love Rice Krispies. Small world 😉 And I completely understand the randomness after breakfast — I was hit with a huge craving for kabocha the other day, so I roasted some up after I finished my oats and went to town. Who am I to argue with a craving? 😀
Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted…. WIAW … a [full] day of eats .
No way!! Speaking of those, I’m dying to make your rice krispie energy bites so I need to save enough for those!! I still haven’t seen kabocha at any stores near me….gahhhh!
Rice Krispies are/were great and all but the younger me was partial to Cocoa Pops- was there anything better than slurping the chocolatey milk at the end…good times ;)! Jealous about that Chipotle bowl- next time be sure to an extra serving of guac so I can vicariously through you!
Khushboo Thadani recently posted…Workout Wednesday: Staying motivated…
OMG the chocolatey milk…there’s just no comparison. Extra guac will totally happen next time 🙂
It all looks so delicious! I haven’t had breakfast yet, so I’m definitely considering this awesome idea of bowl o’ smoothie with crunchy cereal. Sounds delicious!!

I always want like 29739283 different breakfasts while I peruse the blog world. So difficult to decide.
That cereal looks amazballs & who doesn’t love Chipotle??
Jess @ JessieBear What Will You Wear? recently posted…Together…Wednesday?
Any one who doesn’t love Chipotle is cray cray.
Yum, yum, yum – I think I’m craving chipotle now
Kathy @ Food Wine Thyme recently posted…What I Ate Wednesday # 34
Uh oh….me too.
Uh ohhh now I am drooling at the thought of mushroom quinoa soup. I have complete trust in your soup recipes now, and mushrooms are one of my favorite things on the earth, so I cannot wait for that recipe. I haven’t had Chipotle in forever. That needs to change soon.
Ang @ Nutty for Life recently posted…Grapefruits Aren’t Grapes [WIAW #31]
That DEF needs to change. I think you’re gonna loooove the soup!
You are a brave gal to be tackling a smoothie in winter!
And your chipotle bowl has me wanting beans and guac now!
My fav meal today and for the past few weeks is my oats, almond milk, salt, honey, cinnamon, dark chocolate, and PB concoction – warm of course 🙂
Shashi @ http://runninsrilankan.com recently posted…Hearty Everything-But-The-Kitchen-Sink Soup!
I was hating smoothies for a while…go figure I start craving them again when it gets cold! Your oat snack sounds amaaaaazing girl!
cornbread. Only cornbread. But actually, I had it for breakfast and lunch and possibly for dinner. We’re just gonna pretend I’m eating a balanced diet k? Oh but I did eat some mushroom quinoa casserole which is now all gone and making me excited for your mushroom quinoa soup!
Davida @ The Healthy Maven recently posted…Pumpkin Cornbread {GF & Vegan}
Gimme dat cornbread!!! Mmmmm with a little pat of buttah on top. I die. #balanceddiet
Chipotle Burrito bowls are my favorite “take-out” food. This week I made a batch of brown rice, cooked up some frozen veggies (peppers, corn) and black beans and made my own version of them for lunches. Topped with a bit of avocado or guac and they’re just perfect.
Dana @ Conscious Kitchen Blog recently posted…WIAW #54: Whoa… it’s Wednesday?!
Such a great idea! I really need to make my own version more often for lunches.
I’ve never tried Chipotle, but that bowls looks super yummy! I just tried out putting cereal on my smoothie and I am never going back, it was so good1
amanda @ maepress recently posted…WIAW – getting healthy for fall
Once you get a bite of that crunch, there’s no going back! PS–I feel super sad that you’ve never tried Chipotle 🙁
I always eat smoothies in a bowl topped with nuts, seeds, granola, or cereal – so good that way!
Danica @ It’s Progression recently posted…Homemade Slow-Cooker Cinnamon Applesauce {recipe}
Love the nut and seed topper idea! It’s all about the crunch. YUM.
Ohh, I’ll have to hunt down that cereal- my biggest caveat with cereal n smoothie bowls is the sogginess that happens…looks like you found a winner!
I’m eating squashed pancakes out of a plastic sandwich bag right now. So ugly. So good.
Arman @ thebigmansworld recently posted…WIAW- The Classic Template
This is like the ultimate non-soggy cereal. It’s actually shocking how the darn things stay so crunchy. Totally feel you on the squashed pancake front…healthy ain’t always beautiful.
I’ve become obsessed with steel cut oats again and mixing it with vanilla and some homemade raspberry jam is the best snack!
Mmmm that homemade jam mix in sounds incredible!!
Now I’m craving Chipotle!
Matt @ Runner Savvy recently posted…KIND Bars + Pre-Run Food
I want to eat it all over again!!
I love chilly almond milk with TJs cheerios- I could kill the whole box!
Oh and the chili recipe that you just posted looks deee-vine. Can’t wait to make it!
Robyn @thereallife_RD recently posted…WIAW: eat A LOT of food
loving the cereal meals! and starbucks ofc <3 great blog btw! 🙂
Thanks, Lotte!
I need to get some of that cereal! I tried oats on top of a smoothie bowl once and it just did not work… I love a little crunch added to any meal 😉
Elyse @ Lizzie Fit recently posted…Fit Friday: Slim Sanity
Agreed–oats tend to soak up the smoothie and get soggy. Such a shame! That’s why I looooove that flax cereal!
