Getting My Food On...

Wow...already into Hump Day. This week is flying by! I hope you all had a great evening. 

Yesterday I completely forgot to make my breakfast and bring it to work. I definitely love to splurge on food, but on good food. Not on a bowl of oatmeal that I overly paid for, that I could have made myself! Anywho, so, I started my day off with a small bowl of steel cut oats with a banana mashed in. I got the oats from Pret A Mangier and they were delish!

Lunch was a chicken lime burger and a salad. All leftovers from the previous day. Sadly, no picture since I inhaled it :-p

A little while later I snacked on a Chobani non fat lemon yogurt. Mmm..mmm perfectly tart and sweet. Also, kept me full until dinner time :-)

Yesterday, was so cold and rainy. All I wanted for dinner was something warm and comforting. Thank goodness I had leftover lentil chili!! Oh yes, this totally hit the spot. I heated up a bowl of lentil chili and had a slice of ezekiel toast on the side. This was an awesome dinner followed by watching DVR episodes of The Mindy Project! Oh, I love Mindy! 

I also managed to make today's breakfast last night. Here's a sneak peek:  

:-) Enjoy your day!

Snack Attacks

Since making more of an effort to eat healthy, I realized I need to keep some healthy snacks on hand. A snack definitely comes in handy if you feel you'll be having a late lunch, need a boost before working out or need to satiate a long gap between lunch and dinner. I wanted to share some of my favorite snacks that help keep me on track.

• Low fat string cheese or Babybel cheese
• Health Warrior bars
• Carrot and celery sticks
• Air popped popcorn (my most favorite these days)
• Ezekiel toast with a smear of almond or peanut butter
• Nonfat Greek yogurt with sliced almonds

What are some of your healthy snacks?

A Chobani Breakfast...

Good Morning All,

I hope you started your morning off right, with a deliciously nutritious breakfast. This morning for breakfast I had Chobani peach yogurt with a half cup of Kashi Go Lean Crunch and a side of grapes.

WW pts: 6

These days I'm loving Chobani 0% peach yogurt and it's become my go to snack as well.

An easy, quick lunch/snack....

ch ch chia

So, my snack today was actually what my breakfast was suppose to be, but my snack was so filling that it's turned into my lunch! Got that?

Around noon, I took out my Greek yogurt and added some frozen blackberries and Chia seeds. I really do like the texture Chia seeds provide in yogurt. I don't know if it was the fiber in the Chia seeds or the protein in the yogurt, but I AM FULL!

I'm sure I will get a lil hungry before my workout and dinner.

What did you have for lunch?

Yep...still hungry

Strawberry Almond Bowl...texturized



mmm...texture

 Hello Hello,

This morning I was craving a nice hearty bowl of delicious and nutritious...texture.  Yes, sometimes you want a little texture to your meal, and not something uniformly creamy.  I was thinking how I could do this with my regular cinnamon yogurt, fruit and almond bowl.

Here's what I came up. Instead of fully slicing my strawberries, I cut them in half and instead of using slivered or sliced almonds, I used whole almonds. I still had my yogurt with my cinnamon, but this tasted all the much better with the big chunks of fruit and whole almonds...mmm..yummy!

What did you guys have for breakfast?

Question of the day:  What is your favorite type of yogurt?

Seriously Snacking...

The other day when I was at the supermarket looking for delicious snacks, I of course headed to the yogurt isle. This is where I found a 4 pack of 4oz. Chobani yogurts in chocolate and honeynana. All I have to say is wow! Could this be the best tasting greek yogurt I've ever had?!?! The chocolate tastes a like slightly tart chocolate pudding and the honeynana....OMG...you can totally taste the clover honey used!!!! Both yogurts are thick, creamy and oh so delicious!

Best part, these yogurts pack in a some powerful stats and only have 2 points. Perfect on the go, sweet, creamy snack :-)

I hope you brought some healthy snacks with you!!
