WIAW {05-22-2012}

I can’t believe that another week has passed and its already time for WIAW. Crazy! Today I’m going to post my eats from yesterday; remember to check out Jenn’s blog Peas and Crayons for more information!

{6:00 a.m.}
I woke up and headed out for a run. I’d usually eat something small before running (a date w/ pb or a handful of cereal) but after a night of cocktails, I really wasn’t in the mood for a snack. Plus, my friend was sleeping on our couch and I wanted to keep the noise level in the kitchen to a minimum.

{7:45 a.m.} Breakfast

6 miles later I was ready for some breakfast. I hadn’t prepped anything beforehand and was craving overnight oats so I mixed 1/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup 2% greek yogurt, 2/3 cup coconut milk, chia seeds, and 1/2 banana (sliced) in a Peanut Butter & Co jar and then set it in the freezer for 10 minutes.

I pulled it out and topped it with gf granola. The overnight oats had almost set, the freezer trick seems to work in a pinch!

{11:20 a.m.} Lunch

I reached for a handful of pretzels around 11 but knew that wasn’t going to be enough so I dug into my lunch early. I really enjoyed the green curry. It tasted good, was vegan and gluten free, and didn’t have any scary ingredients. I’ll definitely buy it again!

{3:00 p.m.} Snack
I don’t know if I was actually hungry or just really craving veggies but I ran out to the grocery store near my office and picked up a bag of carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower and some cucumber, dill, & feta dip made with greek yogurt. It was the perfect afternoon snack. I left the leftovers in my fridge at work, hopefully a veggie snack will become a habit.

{6:00 p.m.} Dinner
I kept the veggie theme going with dinner and threw together a salad with mixed greens, edamame, chopped beets, goat cheese, and sesame ginger dressing.

I also had a mini corn tortilla with hummus and cheese. I felt like I needed some carb-age.

(7:30 p.m.} Dessert
After dinner I baked a loaf of peanut butter bread for easy breakfasts this week. I sampled a small slice for dessert with a few spoonfuls of hemp ice cream.

The rest of my Tuesday night was spent doing laundry (one of my least favorite “chores”) and watching Mad Men. Ian and I also walked to Dairy Queen but they were out of Cake Batter Blizzards :( . Ian had a cookie dough blizzard and I had a bite or two but it just wasn’t working for me, I need to try the cake batter one!

Have you tried the cake batter blizzard? If not, what is your favorite type of ice cream snack?
