Hola lovelies! Lately my smoothies resemble a green carpet from the 1960’s (direct quote from my Whole Foods friend Tiffany). Love her.
This particular blend was my pumpkin pie smoothie with Skoop protein powder and spinach.
An hour later I had a piece of Alchemy’s famed avocado toast: toasted whole grain bread with smashed avocado, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and local micro kale.
I also snacked on some lentil, quinoa, and veggie soup that I made for Alchemy’s soup of the day.
Lunch was half a mason jar of this radically scrumptious Crockpot Buffalo Cauliflower Chili. This recipe couldn’t be easier and it tastes incredible! Perhaps it’s the half cup of beloved Frank’s hot sauce. It was a huge bowl but I ate nearly all of it before I remembered to take a picture! Story of my life.
Last week I got a bag of organic fuji apples from Kroger and they’re my new favorite! Super crisp and perfectly sweet. They’re also the best size for snacking. I sliced up two and dipped them in almond butter for an afternoon snack.
I stopped at The Market Italian Village for a meeting, so I couldn’t help but snack on a bowl of their lentil and bean salad. It probably wasn’t the best idea to eat a cup of beans an hour before Body Pump. Definitely not. I also had a few sips of my friend soy latte.
After Body Pump I dove headfirst into leftover bean salad mixed with scrambled eggs, a ton of roasted sweet potatoes, and broccoli with hummus and hot sauce on the side. After I smashed that in like five minutes, I went back for more broccoli and hummus. Addicted.
Before bed, I snacked on two pieces of this fabulous banana bread. I doubled the recipe and used about 30 drops of liquid stevia to sweeten it. It’s SO amazing and took less than 10 minutes to make. Do it!!
Mmm that avocado toast looks fab! Love Fuji apples too, especially dipped in nut butter. Do you guys the golden delicious variety over there? They’re my current fave!
Yes we do! I honestly haven’t had one in years….eeek!!
Green carpet smoothie 😆 Best.description.ever. I’ve been adding greens to my morning smoothies lately, and while they may not always be pretty, they do taste pretty darn amazing… and the energy boost is nothing to complain about either!
I agree!! Even if it does look like an old green couch, it sure as hell doesn’t taste like one! That’;s all that matters, right? 😉
HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND ALWAYS TO HEALTH; MAYBE ONE DAY WE CAN VISIT YOUR EATERY! SORRY THE NAME DIDN’T COME TO MIND!
happy thanksgiving and yum to your WIAW posts!
could you please re-link the recipe for the banana
bread? Couldn’t find it and would love it!
thanks much!
Just did! Thanks! http://www.hungryhungryhippie.com/the-banana-bread-you-all-want/
You make avocado toast look SO fancy!! 😉
Bahaha what can I say?!
You have no idea how much I love you right now for linking to that GF banana bread!! I have been dying watching my family eat all the banana bread while I just have a tiny slice. I need more banana bread in my life.
It’s the answer to your prayers!! It’s so cool because it’s like eating almonds, banana, eggs, and stevia. Plus it’s so easy to make!
WIAW makes me hungry! I love seeing what others are eating on a busy day! Those perfect sweet potato rounds are really doing it for me and I’m going to get on that banana bread stat… And I adore the colour of the smoothie––psychedelic!
Hahah I way prefer the psychedelic description to the 1960’s couch description 🙂
I kind of hate myself that we didn’t get to hang….oh well, wait until I get my green card, we can walk down the 1960’s red carpet with beer and vodka. PS I have newfound respect for hummus after the lady at wholefoods gave me a sample AND she told me to make my own and up the olive oil and tahini to avoid stomach discomfort…this may mean more hummus in my life.
I’m sad about it too :/ I love that you were told to make hummus at home!! Let me know how it goes 🙂
I was looking for a GF banana bread recipe so thanks for answering my foodie prayers! Just needs some butter or cream cheese slathered on it for me. 😉
This one is the answer! It’s SO easy to make, too.
Banana bread is seriously my fave! My grandma is visiting and she actually brought me a loaf that she baked yesterday, so I’m in heaven right now haha.
Me too!! I’m so jealous of your banana bread stash!
I’ve been all about the avo toast lately… I actually have a special version coming soon to the blog 😉
