    What I Ate Wednesday

    Published Jan 6, 2016 · Modified Nov 8, 2021 · by Alexis Joseph · 28 Comments

    How are my hummus homeboys?!

    breakfast

    Tis the new year. I've been doing my very best to practice what I preach and prep food ahead of time and eat out less in an effort to save time and cashola. Making food ahead of time like steel cut oats, smoothie bags, bean burgers, no-bake bites, and spaghetti squash makes a huge difference during the week. I can't wait to get out of the kitchen when I'm doing it, but I'm always SO glad I spent those extra few hours on Sunday.

    Breakfast (while hair curling) was steel-cut oatmeal with chia seeds, blackberries, strawberries, and almond butter along with a coffee with soymilk that I grabbed from Alchemy after a kick-butt 6am Insanity class at The Fitness Loft.

    lunch

    After a couple meetings and an awesome follow-up nutrition counseling appointment, I dove into lunch. I had roasted a spaghetti squash over the weekend and already had a jar of my favorite Carfagna's pasta sauce open in the fridge so I combined those with leftover broccoli plus a serving of lentils (I buy the pre-cooked ones from Trader Joe's and freeze individual portions in baggies for quick protein). Ugly but scrumptious!

    Then I popped into The Crest for another meeting and picked at some leftover salad.

    staufs

    Andddd more coffee! Half caff this time.

    snack

    Snack time involved a green apple and two amazing no-bake protein bars from my gal Davida that I prepped on Sunday and threw in the freezer: cinnamon (double the cinnamon!!) and mint chocolate. I used vanilla Vega Protein + Greens, duh. The best!

    carrots

    Continued snackage was carrots with Oasis roasted garlic hummus. The usual.

    I stayed late at Alchemy prepping for a nutrition seminar on Thursday, so dinner ended up being a big bowl of our black bean veggie soup of the day followed by a blueberry smoothie bowl with Vega when I got home. It was of course topped with Love Grown Power O's and cacao nibs.

    See you tomorrow for something mmmmmm delish!

      The soup looks good. What is in it and are you allowed to post the recipe? I have been looking for a different black bean soup recipe. Also I am in love with your crispy tofu fingers. They are amazing !

      I really like your gingerbread bites and overnight steel cut oats. Thanks for the recipes!
      My husband loves hummus, so I make it all the time. I'm sure you sometimes make your own, but do you prefer store bought?
      I sometimes use vega sport protein in my smoothies, as I run about 70mi/wk. I don't think I've tried the protein+greens, does it taste much better than the other vega powders? What makes you prefer the protein+greens formula?

        The hummus recipe I use for Alchemy is really delish! I don't ever make my own at home though honestly. My brand of choice is Oasis roasted garlic. The proteins pretty much taste the same but protein + greens is a bit more affordable. Hope that helps!

      Hi Alexis, I hope this isn't weird or mean, I just wanted to let you know in your carrots picture, you can see one of your hairs on the carrots. I wasn't sure if you knew or not or if you didn't care. Sorry, I wasn't sure if this is like a spinach in the teeth situation 🙁

      I love the precooked lentils from TJ's! I never thought of freezing individual portions. What is a serving size? I usually do about a 1/4cup.
