You know what it is…
*BOOM* It’s another WIAW with the lovely Jenn @ Peas and Crayons!
Here we go! Ready? Good.
Breakfast:
A delicious green monster (consisting of 1 cup almond milk, 1 banana, 1 packet of stevia and a whoooole lotta spinach.) Plus a giant fuji apple, and some pb2+peanut butter. This kept me full through the morning, and my workout! (Unpictured: The Trader Joe’s Cocoa Coffee I’m loving!)
Lunch
The perfect lunch after an intense workout! Trader Joe’s spiced soybeans! Check out the nutritional facts (and be sure to double it, because seriously, who eats half a package?) Yes, that’s 400 calories, 28 grams of protein and 24 grams of fiber.
*Side story* on Monday, we had a catered lunch with a vendor, but they didn’t have any vegetarian options 🙁 Even the salads had bacon on them! I was a little sad, but my friend gave me her apple. Then my other friend gave me his apple. Then, everyone started giving me their apples and I ended up with 6!! Snacks for the whole week! Haha. I’m know going to be known as the apple girl. Oh well 🙂
Snack (unpictured): One of my free apples!
Dinner
TJ’s chopped veggies (tons of veggies in there!) topped with TJ’s hummus (seriously, I’m on a major Trader Joe’s kick!) This is such a tasty, crunchy, veggie packed dinner. I love love love it. I also had some cheesy cauliflower on the side!
Later on I snacked on some frozen grapes, and…
Yummm I love Kombucha. Although, this flavor isn’t my favorite. I think I’ll stick to the pink one next time, whatever that is.
Thank you all for your comments on my last post! I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels weird about eggs!! I swear, you guys make me feel halfway normal about my eating habits 😉
Now it’s challenge time. Does anyone have any vegan & gluten free picnic ideas?

I’ll explain more later, but I need some recipe ideas! Link link link if you have any recipes!
Happy WIAW!!!!!!!

I love Trader Joe’s…have you tried their edamame hummus? It is to die for!
Your line about being known as the apple girl made me laugh. Growing up we had an unwanted food area where each day kids could leave things they didn’t want to eat so if someone forgot their lunch they would have something. There were always tons of apples and because I was an avid equestrian, I would take one or two apples at the end of lunch each day to give to my horse. Waste not, want not right? 🙂
Haha that’s awesome!! I HAVE tried TJ’s Edamame hummus and I loooove it. So creamy and delicious!
Thai food is the best food on earth! I love, love, love red coconut curry. So delicious, but SPICY!
The first kombucha that I ever tried was that Multi Green…YUCK!! Blahhhhh! I couldn’t even finish it! Luckily, I was determined to like it and kept trying flavors until I found a fave (Strawberry…lurve!)
I’ve never had it and I’m surprised I haven’t. I love Asian cuisine! It just takes me a while to try new things too.
Aww picnic ideas… fun!! I don’t have any vegan ones for you, but I can’t wait to see what picnic you go on! So much fun! 🙂
That’s such a funny side story.
I love picnics! Here are some ideas for you: rice dishes, salads, frittata (eat it cold), potato salad made with vinegar instead of mayo, Angela posted a bunch of delicious salads http://ohsheglows.com/2011/04/13/back-on-track-ii-cilantro-lime-spelt-berry-salad/, and of course some fruits and veggies are always good too.
oh yum!!! Thanks for the recommendation!!! I think I’ll take a look! 🙂
