Hello my lentil lovers! How are we doing?

I’m doing great. I’m doing great because I made the creamiest, dreamiest smoothie yesterday morning. I switched it up from my usual blueberry cacao and did frozen strawberries, frozen banana, frozen spinach, peanut butter, brown rice protein, cacao powder, and almond milk. Dream city.

I’m also doing great because there’s a new Huff Post article up where I chat your ear off about anti-inflammatory eats!

I made a new curried chickpea salad for Alchemy that became my mid-morning snack and it’s hands down one of the best creations I’ve ever laid mouth on. I feel like I’m not supposed to say that since I made it but I can’t help it. I’m dying to share it with you guys. Hold tight!!

Lunch was a huge veggie sandwich that is now my obsession. I toasted two pieces of Ezekiel bread and topped them with hummus, avocado, sauerkraut, tomatoes, micro kale, and red pepper flakes. Ummmmm yum.

I also had a cup of Alchemy’s soup of the day, curried carrot and coconut soup. Yes, I know–amazing.

Oh and then there was that bowl of strawberry coconut kale salad because I needed some green in my life.

Snackage was two vegan chocolate banana muffins. They never get old. Ever.

Dinner was another amazing meal from Veestro–enchilada casserole. I’ve not really into vegan cheese, but the cheese on top seriously tasted like legit cheddar. I was super impressed. Stay tuned for a giveaway!

I also had obligatory roasted sweet potatoes with my all-time fave greek hummus from Whole Foods Upper Arlington.

    • I too am ashamed that I didn’t do my daily chocolate. I should have just said I forgot to photograph the three chocolate bars with a slab of butter on top that I ate right before bed. #splenda #sterotypes

  2. Not like you liked hummus or anything, right ;) ?! I still can’t get over those Finn crisps because my memories of them are … not that good but I might just have to give them another try.
    Also, you’d better post that chickpea salad soon because … Chickpeas. Creamy. Yesss. Please and thank you.

  6. I’ve been pretty obsessed with hummus lately and have been putting it on everything. I’ve almost finished a giant tub of hummus from Costco that I bought about a week ago. And, no joke, I literally thought to myself yesterday “It’s okay, Alexis eats this much hummus daily.” :)

    • You and me both, girlfriend! I NEED that giant tub of Costco hummus. I know the exact one you’re talking about! I’m currently all out and I feel like I’m living in a nightmare.

  7. Alexis,
    I noticed you shared your post at 5:00 am. You surely are the energizer bunny! Everything you posted today looks so yummy. I started my day with a nice walk with my dog and savored my blueberry/strawberry, chia seed, and almond butter oatmeal. For lunch ( because of your yummy looking picture and explanation) I will have a delicious sandwich on Ezekiel toasted bread. I need to bake some more of those vegan banana muffins (or whip up a batch of your to die for zucchini choc chip ones) decisions, decisions! My dinner will also include baked sweet potato chips, roasted carrots, peppers and mushrooms topped with beet hummus (or salsa). I love that you post so many healthy options that fuel our bodies with great nutrients. By looking at you (you are always glowing and full of energy) I know that you truly are what you eat! Enjoy the rest of your week.

    • I’m gonna let you in on a little secret! I write my posts the night before and schedule them for 5am :) That said, I DO get up for work at 5:15am. Sounds terrible, but I’m used to it at this point. I love that you started your day with a delish bowl of oats and fruit! How did you like the sandwich? I can’t get enough of it lately. Beet hummus?! Sign me up!! XOXO

    • Turn the oven up! I usually roast mine at 415 or 425. They’re always a little mushy though…I must admit that I kind of like them that way ha!

  11. You already know that the veggie sandwich has my name written all over it… especially since you went and added sauerkraut! I am getting meals from Veestro tomorrow and I ordered the Enchilada Casserole, so I am excited to try it out!
