I’m hopping on the What I Ate Wednesday bandwagon because I don’t often share my daily eats with you all! This Wednesday will be different!

Breakfast

This morning I wasn’t sure if I wanted a smoothie or cereal. All summer I’ve been on a cereal kick but since the cold weather will be rolling in soon and the idea of drinking a smoothie will chill me to the bone, I went for it.

I usually have a standard smoothie recipe I use every time, but today I was feeling rebellious and changed it up a little bit. And it was sooo worth it!

Enter the peanut butter & banana smoothie (in a bowl!)

Ingredients

• 1 C unsweetened almond milk
• 1 scoop vanilla brown rice protein powder
• 1/4 C raw old-fashioned oats
• 1 frozen banana (sliced first then frozen)
• 1 heaping spoonful of peanut butter

Toppings

• LOVE grown granola (the last of my stash! sadness.)

Directions

1. Put all ingredients in blender, almond milk first and then blend away!
2. Top with LOVE and enjoy

This was such a tasty smoothie, but next time I might use less banana since it seemed to overpower the peanut butter taste. Still great, though.

Lunch

Lunch consisted of last night’s leftovers. I was ambitious yet again in the kitchen and decided to make some whole wheat pasta with vegetable pasta sauce, sautéed kale and tofu. There was also a side of green beans! I’ve been really trying to include more greens in my diet since lately they’ve been lacking. Today I had leftovers for lunch and it was delish.

There may have been a locally picked apple involved, too.

As well as a granola bar for a snack later on.

Dinner

Dinner today is tricky because I have class. On these days I pack a lunch for work and something to have for dinner on campus before class starts. Usually a sandwich is easier since I don’t have access to a microwave, so today’s dinner was an avocado and tofu sandwich on twelve grain bread from the farmer’s market. Easy, healthy and delicious.

There you have it, my eats for Wednesday. Have any good meals today?
