What I Ate: Fruits & Veggies
We spent the past weekend at the Heritage Harvest Festival which meant that our weekend was filled with lots of food and drinks. Once Sunday rolled around, I was ready to get back into some fruits and veggies. We rolled out of bed, I started a pot of coffee and skimmed through the paper until my appetite woke up. After a little coffee, (“little” coffee = 3 cups) I made a big bowl of banana protein ice cream.
This was a handful of ice, a splash of almond milk, a frozen banana, a scoop of peanut flour, and a dash of stevia- blended up to creamy perfection and topped with Trader Joe’s peanut butter. I love how drippy their peanut butter is. This bowl seriously tastes like ice cream! I also had a few bites of potatoes, since Alex fried up some leftover red potatoes. They were salty and delicious but I forgot to snap a photo of those!
After a bit of cleaning, I headed to Gym Quest for gymnastics. I hadn’t been to their new building so I was excited to check it out! The new gym is gorgeous. Gymnastics is always a fun way to switch up my workout! The adult class is Sundays at noon so if you’re local and you want to join, let me know! I hit Whole Foods on my way home and grabbed a few things. (Well, a few things turned into a basket of things because obviously but I mostly stuck to my list.) I was starving by this point so I had some pretzels in the car.
Have you tried these high protein pretzels from Newman’s Own? They’re made with pea flour so they have more protein than regular pretzels, but they taste exactly the same. I love these!
Once I got home, I grabbed the lone zucchini from the crisper drawer and spiralized it. I’ve started to perfect my zucchini noodle technique so I feel like these just keep getting better and better. I topped mine with Rao’s tomato basil sauce which is seriously the best sauce in all the land. I could just eat it with a spoon.
Alex and I headed to church and once we got back I started brainstorming dinner ideas. I ended up basically putting all of my favorite ingredients into one dish and it turned out to be pretty delicious. I’ll share this flatbread recipe with you soon!
As you can see, I haven’t completely killed my dill plant yet, so I was glad to have some fresh dill for this! I think I’m going to get a cilantro plant next. Then maybe basil? I’m trying to get myself in the habit of taking care of this dill plant first. One thing at a time. I’ve killed a lot of plants this year. Oops.
Alex and I took a long walk after dinner because it was beautiful out and once we got home I had these grapes for dessert.
I feel like people either love or hate frozen grapes. I’m obviously in the love camp. I swear they taste sweeter in the freezer or something. I think I could eat these all day.
Frozen grapes: delicious or gross?
I’m linking up to What I Ate Wednesday!
that flatbread looks delicious..and im pro frozen grapes.
I just froze some of the cotton candy grapes that everyone is raving about and they are amazing! Like a cotton candy popsicle!
Ohhh man! I saw those at whole foods but I haven’t tried them yet!
topping the banana ‘nice’cream with nut butter?! brilliant idea! I need to do that next time 🙂 I am a fan of frozen grapes but only sometimes. they usually are a bit too cold for my poor teeth!
Haha yeah if I recently did a round of whitestrips then no frozen grapes for me 😉
Banana ice cream and spiralized zucchini sounds like an amazing food day!! I’ve been trying to perfect my spiralizing skills as well; what a great invention! Also frozen grapes are the best, especially on the beach.
I’ve never tried frozen grapes! I need to, though! They look so crisp and refreshing!
They’re such a yummy treat!
Yes I have tried those pretzels and they’re delicious! I love them.
Can’t wait to see that delicious flatbread recipe too!
Frozen grapes actually sound really good to me. But I’ve never had them. If I see grapes on sale, I will go for them!
Nothing better than zoodles and frozen grapes!
I am not on the frozen grape train but let’s back up to the real star of the show, that banana “ice cream”. YES! For sure gonna try this out!
I just hopped on the banana ice cream train a few weeks ago and I’m obsessed! I need to try it with the peanut powder next time. I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever had frozen grapes before. Now I guess I have to try them!
