Another Wednesday, another peek into some of my daily eats… here’s what yesterday looked like:
Breakfast: instant Starbucks coffee (ew, but I got it for free so I’ll drink it) with stevia and organic soy milk.
Breakfast: overnight oats (all ingredients organic):
- .5 cup old-fashioned oats
- .5 cup soy milk
- 4-6 walnuts, crumbled
- 10-20 raisins
- 2-3 tbsp. coconut flakes
- 1 cap vanilla extract
- .25 tsp. pumpkin spice mix
Combine all ingredients and let sit in an air-tight container overnight. Stir in the morning and enjoy!
Snack #1: 8 rosemary olive oil crackers and homemade roasted red pepper hummus.
Lunch: 1 serving (.25 cup before cooked) brown rice with sweet & sour purple cabbage and a soft-boiled egg, sprinkled with salt and pepper. This was really simple but pretty delicious!
Lunch: I mopped up a second soft-boiled egg with homemade banana honey cornbread (recipe by WIAW host Jenn!). I actually had a second serving of bread as well, this time with butter and garlic salt (so double what’s pictured) because I was still hungry. Not sure why I was craving so many carbs, usually I eat fewer servings of grains.
Snack #2: lemon detox tea.
Snack #3: this is an old picture, but I had a chocolate chip cookie dough Quest bar before my run, because I was starting to get hungry again and also craving something sweet.
Run #1: I ran 5.5 miles from Astoria to the Upper West Side, to a friend’s apartment to hang out for a bit.
Run #2: I left my friend’s place and jogged 2.14 more miles before deciding I was too thirsty and needed to stop for a bottle of water. After that, I walked the remaining four-ish miles home. It didn’t get dark until just as I got home, which was perfect.
Dinner: I felt like I hadn’t had nearly enough fruits and veggies all day, so I made a green smoothie and instantly felt much more nourished. This one had:
- 1 cup water
- freshly squeezed lemon juice (about a quarter of one large lemon)
- 1 rib celery
- .25 cup frozen kale
- .5 cup frozen organic blackberries, blueberries & cherries
- .75 scoop Vega recovery accelerator
- 1 scoop wheat grass powder
