Back in the early days of this blog, I used to share pictures of my meals on a daily basis. I  have changed the format of the blog since then, but every now and then it’s fun to see what other people eat, right? Maybe that’s just me.

Nevertheless, I thought I’d publish my very first What I Ate Wednesday (WIAW) post.

Pre-workout Snack

I have the exact same thing every morning before my workout. It may be boring (and mean that I have to buy a boatload of bananas every week), but it seems to be just the right kind of fuel for exercise.

Breakfast

I’ve been on a green smoothie kick lately, so I whipped up one of favorite combinations for breakfast yesterday.

frozen peaches +

unsweetened almond milk +

cinnamon +

vanilla protein +

raw almond butter +

fresh spinach

Lunch

I have a salad for lunch on most days, and yesterday was no different.

romaine +

orange +

steamed broccoli +

sesame roasted chickpeas +

sesame seeds

I made the roasted chickpeas by combining sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and chickpeas, then baking them at 400 F for 10 minutes.

Afternoon Snack

My salty tooth was beckoning yesterday afternoon, so I made a batch of air-popped popcorn, accompanied by a stick of string cheese.

air-popped popcorn +

string cheese

I seasoned the popcorn with dill, onion powder, and basil—very similar to my ranch popcorn recipe.

Dinner

I made Mama Pea’s black bean soup for dinner last night—it’s always a no-fail recipe!

black bean soup  +

homemade tortilla chips +

tomatoes +

cilantro

Evening Snack

After watching a couple episodes of Mad Men (officially obsessed!), I put together a quick snack bowl.

whipped cottage cheese +

frozen strawberries +

wheat germ +

raw almond butter

So there ya have my day in food.
