Yesterday was one of those days where I had to stay all day and night at Alchemy. No complaints, but when I got home I wanted to dive into a pile of carbohydrates, prop my feet up, and not come within ten feet of my computer.
So today I decided to switch up WIAW and re-post a day of eats from nearly a year ago. It was so funny looking back at how much things have changed at Alchemy. I used to prep all of the our salads in the morning and now we have full time prep help to do it! Looks like the smoothie obsession was as strong then as it is now…
There’s no taming this hunger beast!!
For breakfast I decided to switch it up from my usual make-ahead steel-cut oatmeal routine. I whipped up a smoothie at Alchemy with frozen blueberries, hemp seeds, chia seeds, spinach, cacao powder, and Skoop protein powder for staying power. I also had some coffee with a splash of vanilla soy milk.
Mid-morning, I snacked on my favorite baked good as of late—a couple cute little vegan chocolate banana muffins! Have you guys made these yet?! I’m obsessed.
I didn’t have tons of time to sit down for lunch (I pretty much never sit down at Alchemy), but I did scarf down a hugh jass bowl of this delicious 10-spice vegetable soup. If this soup looks familiar, that’s because I’ve been eating it for over a week. Oopsies!
Hi, I’m Alexis and I’m in a relationship with almond butter.
Snacks included an unpictured random pickle, an apple with almond butter…
…and some oatmeal with blackberries and almond butter. My appetite was in full swing today in case you couldn’t tell!
Before Body Pump, I snacked on a few whole grain crackers with hummus and hot sauce.
Dinner was the rest of these delish crispy tofu fingers (recipe coming soon!), a big sweet potato all sliced up and roasted, and a mound of roasted zucchini.
Before bed I snacked on handfuls and handfuls and more handfuls of popcorn…
….followed by a no-bake peanut butter granola bar from the freezer.
I hope you all had a delicious day!
You might be the only person I know – my dad aside – who eats those Finn Crip breads. I never understood why he keeps a packet of those at hand at all times in his office … (;
After a short and sweet, no, salty affair with peanut butter white almond butter and I are dating exclusively again. We’re seriously committed.
Hahah they’re so darn tasty! I bet everyone else thinks they taste like cardboard, but I’m obsessed.
Oatmeal with almond butter and berries is my jam these days. I can’t get enough strawberries right now either!
Me either! I just got a carton on sale at the store. Score!

I am really loving these posts! I came across you on IG and have been checking out some of your recipes, there are a bunch I want to make! I am guessing you eat a lot of hummus, hence the name of your blog. Just wondering if you make your own or usually just buy it from the store?
I eat TONS of hummus! I don’t make my own for the sake of time/laziness and the fact that I make hummus all the time at Alchemy (the healthy cafe I run) so I’m tired of it by the time I get home 🙂 I buy Oasis roasted garlic hummus.
Haha, I can def see why you wouldn’t want to make it for yourself then! I read about Alchemy and what you do there (I stalked a bunch of posts haha)…sounds amazing and like a dream job!! Keep up the good work!
Aww thanks Kelly!

Gosh my hunger has been in full swing this week for sure! You’ve also nearly convinced me to have berries and oatmeal for dinner…sounds so good right now!
Glad I’m not alone, dear!

I definitely have those days when hunger is in full force… the whole day, but all your eats look so nutritious and delish.
Have a fantastic week.

Those muffins are on my list to make! I’m currently out of bananas (what?!) but when I get more it’s done. Also, that popcorn is in my pantry right now and my kids are loving it. 🙂
Out of bananas?! That sounds so terrible!!

Hiii. Okay A) Thank you for actually showing everything you ate because you make me feel normal for eating so much. B) I think almond butter is cheating on you with me because I see it like 5 times a day. On everything. It’s out of control. xo
I really do eat A LOT. I’m glad that people realize that!!
IM WITH YOU!! I hate seeing WIAW and people literally eat nothing!! I am always snacking, so it feels so good to see another person who actuallllllyyy eats!!
