Sticking to healthy on vacation isn’t easy, and it’s especially tricky when you’re really trying to not be “that person” who won’t do anything fun because they’re “watching what they’re eating”.
I’m not going to add up all the calories and stuff, since I’m showing you some random meals from different days. I did try to sneak in healthy food while tasting my way through the city. Please note that fro yo, wine, and macaroni and cheese were all consumed on this trip, but those pictures weren’t anything special!
So this is the What I Ate Wednesday: New York Edition
Favorite Breakfast
I got to meet Meredith from Dare You To (how gorgeous is she?!) and we took a trip to the Chobani store. It was amazing! I had a bowl of greek goodness topped with pistachios, chocolate, orange, and agave. It was super creamy and delicious. It was so much fun chatting with Meredith about blogging, food, and life in general! Why have I never put pistachios in my yogurt? New thing to try.
Favorite Lunch
We stopped by the Smorgasburg festival in Brooklyn and I tried everything. From second row: Soy Hound Soymilk, McClures Spicy Pickles, and some kind of coffee infused chocolate which was amazing. For my actual lunch, I got some of this quinoa falafel, which was absolutely amazing. I have to try making falafel with quinoa…
Favorite Dinner
We went to a little cafe called Once Upon a Tart and it was so adorable. I had a tomato and mozzarella sandwich, served with a lentil and feta salad. I forgot how much I love lentils! And obviously I’m still obsessed with feta. I need to recreate this salad.
And just to prove that I did take pictures of people… here are some favorites from the trip!
Who isn’t obsessed with feta? That stuff is the shiznit.
The best thing I’ve eaten recently… so many choices… probably the breakfast I had in Boston- it was a turkey hash and it was sooooo goood…..
Wow, all your food looks amazing!
The favourite thing I’ve eaten recently was pumpkin cream cheese muffins with a crumbly topping – they were so good!
The Chobani store sounds so fun! As usual, all your meals look amazing:) Happy WIAW!
So jealous you got to go the chobani soho location!
i’ve heard about the chobani store and always wanted to go! that lentil salad also sounds so delicious!
You need to try Mama Pea’s peanut Mmmmmm sauce. It’s so good and kind of simlair to what you made. It’s easy to make – you would love it! I almost want to drink it out of the blender when I make it
The Apple Cinnamon Chobani is really really tasty. I was excited when I saw it at the store. I haven’t tried the others yet, but they’re on my list! 
You look amazing!!

Yum! All of your eats look delicious and are definitely the type of things I’d select from a menu
I must try pistachios in my yogurt too! I put crushed hazelnuts into the mix last week and that was a hit too 
You look great in your pics – I love your hair

Lentil feta salad? Hmm I should try making that!
Best thing I’ve eaten is this awesome vegetarian Risotto at Gravity in Palo Alto. Nom.

Love the idea of quinoa falafel. Not as much as the idea of coffee-infused chocolate, but still ;D Looks like you had so much fun! (And good food.)
Love your blogger meet-ups, Liz! So cute. If you’re ever in Chicago…
The best thing I’ve eaten lately is the kale and multli-vegetable salad recipe you posted! I’ve been making it, like, twice a week now. I’m obsessed!
looks like it was a great trip! Lately I’ve been eating pumpkin everything!!!
What a fun weekend. All the food looks delicious, and I really want to try the chocolate, the pickles, the falafel and pretty much everything. Happy WIAW.
I love NYC! Foodie heaven is what it is!
I had a great salad yesterday – greens, avocado, hard boiled egg, tomato, pecans, and the best vinagrette I’ve tried yet.
I’m jealous of your vacation time! NYC is definitely on my 30-before-30 list.
Definitely do it! I’d been a few times before for work but it was fun going for vacation!
The Smorgasburg festival looks like so much fun
I’m going to NYC over New Years and may have to stop by the Chobani Store!!
Oh my gosh, this all looks amazing! I’m going to New York later in the year so I think I hav to stop at Chobani!
You definitely do! I was inspired just looking at the menu!
So funny- I just tried a quinoa falafel last week! It was delish. Everything looks amazing- NYC is the place to be for travel food.
Here’s a Quinoa Falafel recipe

Chobani store(: !? that is so cool! Is there anything special there?
They had a different types of combinations!! They had sweet and savory! I wanted to try the cucumber and olive oil. Maybe next time!’

Hope you have a great rest of the week. Happy WIAW…
Sounds like you had an awesome time! Your favorite dinner dish sounds amazing!! I really need to get myself some fresh mozzarella cheese!
Mmm! The best thing about vacations is discovering good food and spending time with others. Looks like you accomplished both!!
Looks like so much fun! Glad you had great eats and got to hang out with some great people!
GAH this looks like sooo much fun!! I love that you ate Chobani at the Chobani place!! Pistachios on yogurt is genius!

SO much fun! I want to go to the Chobani place so badly…of course, once Vegan Mo Fo is over. And I can afford to go to NYC.
