    What I Ate Wednesday: Summer Fun Day Edition

    Hey everyone, it’s time for another What I Ate Wednesday! I don’t eat the same foods every single day; some days it’s super “clean,” while other days I indulge a fair bit, and I consider both to be healthy. This is what I think of as normal eating: eating for enjoyment and health at the same time. I hope that you find these types of posts fun, lighthearted, and that they inspire you to enjoy your food to the fullest!

    First, a disclaimer that this post is for entertainment and informational purposes only. 🙂

    This is what I ate last Sunday:

    breakfast

    I had half of a grapefruit, which I forgot to take a picture of, then made part one of my breakfast: a yogurt and fruit bowl with whole milk organic yogurt, frozen blueberries, nectarine, hemp, and ground flax.

    Then I had two slices of twelve grain toast with sunflower seed butter and honey, and coffee.

    lunch

    I would usually workout before lunch, but I always take Sundays off from intense exercise, so I went for a walk before lunch instead, then came home and warmed up some beet pesto and caramelized fennel pizza that I had made for pizza Friday (recipe coming to the blog in August). I had some raw veggies, homemade tzatziki leftover from the night before, and kimchi on the side.

    And an apple for “dessert.” (Once again, I forgot to take a picture.)

    I wasn’t all that hungry on Sunday, so I didn’t have an afternoon snack. But often, I do have something, like some granola and yogurt, a raw brownie, or an oatmeal bar.

    supper

    We were over at my brother and his fiancee’s in the afternoon, and stayed for dinner. My mom and I made my Santa Fe Chicken Salad with a couple of modifications, and served it in pitas, with chips and veggies on the side… and kombucha. 

    dessert

    dessert, a bowl of chocolate gelato and a peanut butter cookie

    Dessert was chocolate gelato with local strawberries and my favourite classic peanut butter oatmeal cookies. 

    Hopefully this post helps you, whether that’s inspiring you to try a new recipe, developing a healthier relationship with food, or you simply enjoy reading about what other people eat (that’s me!). 

    Have a great day and see you tomorrow with a new watermelon mint green juice recipe!
