Hayyyy my ferocious figs!
I finally switched up my breakfast to some more seasonal fare. Lately I’ve been making my Pumpkin Pie Smoothie with Vega Protein + Greens vanilla protein powder, less liquid, and a huge handful of spinach. Then I eat it in a bowl topped with cacao nibs and Love Grown Power O’s for crunchosity. Seriously such a dream of a breakfast.
I wanted savory by the time I was done so I munched on a brown rice cake with hummus.
Lunch was a scrumptious salad combo from the fairly new Little Eater at The North Market. The wheat berry, kale, walnut, and cranberry salad and the roasted beets were my two faves. I will definitely be going back!
We also shared one of the breakfast cookies.
Before Body Pump, I snacked on part of Nikki’s blueberry almond butter acai bowl with puffed quinoa and strawberries. She was helping us fix up the menus. Time to get the Pumpkin Pie Smoothie back on the menu board!
My phone died on my way home and when I went to recharge it, it decided it didn’t want to turn back on. The screen kept turning a very shocking hue of blue. It didn’t turn back on till 9:30pm, and my dinner would have been quite cold by that time. So what I really had for dinner was a Luna burger with hummus, an egg + an egg white, roasted sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts. I dug through some old posts and found this old picture of my delish crispy baked tofu strips. Have you made these yet?
Bedtime snackage included two fabulously chewy Medjool dates (fresh from my trip to Yuma!) dipped in Wild Friends’ pretzel peanut butter plus a handful of my roomie’s little cookies.
See you tomorrow for an epic pumpkin snack!

Alexis – I just want to thank you for your blog. I found it about a month ago and have been reading archives when I get the opportunity to. Your voice is one that I relate to and it’s crazy how much you are improving my relationship with food without even speaking to me! I l hope you have a super Wednesday and I wish you the very best. I’m a reader for life!
PS: The kale enchilada casserole is delish!
Alexis says
Hi Elizabeth! I’m not always the quickest at responding to comments, but I want you to know that your sweet words really made my day. I can’t tell you how rewarding it is to here that this little blog is helping to improve your relationship with food. I hope YOU have an even more super Wednesday! XO

That salad and acai bowl look diviiiiiine. I’ve made your crispy tofu strips and they are one of my favs. Have a great Wednesday!
Miss Polkadot says
Conclusions from this post: Phones are evil [oh yes, they are – I know from experience], I like the way you snack and I need to make a trip to Little Eater [I wish!].
Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
Smoothies eaten with a spoon are the best kinds of smoothies — not that I’m biased or anything ;) And I have a big time crush on your snacking — dates, nut butter, and cookies are the keys to my heart.
Shannon says
I always get weirded out by the color Vega turns EVERYTHING! But I am going to have to try that smoothie! Yay for all the greens!
Hilary says
Ahh so sad I’m missing the pumpkin pie smoothie at Alchemy! Can’t wait to visit in October and try it out :)
Sarah @ Making Thyme for Health says
Okay that acai bowl looks ridic. I wish someone would come puff some quinoa for me.
And I know just how epic that pumpkin treat is going to be tomorrow, hehe. They look freakin’ amazing! ;)
Annie B says
Your eats always look SO amazing! I seriously look forward to reading these every week! :)
Do you have a blog archive somewhere on your site to look at past posts?
Megan says
I always love reading these posts – love how real you always are, and your food looks great too! I’ll have to try those tofu strips soon!

Epic pumpkin snack…I’m intrigued…LOL! I think I need to pick up some rice cakes today at the store. I’m having a weird craving for them…Random!!!!
Alexis says
Not at all random. Legit I eat at least a couple a day dipped in all the hummus with hot sauce ;) NOM.

I’m sure you hear this all the time but I truly want your job! I’m a huge foodie but I have little time right now with 2 little children. When I look at your recipes they really remind me of such creativity that speaks of your passion and that is refreshing! Keep doing what you are doing! ;)
Nicole says
Alexis, I literally just spent about 20 minutes going through your WIAW in search of this particular one because it suddenly occurred to me that i just HAVE to ask, where did you get those bracelets on your left hand in the picture with the smoothie bowl? I LOVE! :D
