Weekday Meals
How is it already Wednesday?! I feel like the days have been flying by. I’m surprised I actually remembered to snap a few photos of what I ate yesterday! Let’s just jump right into the food!
I woke up early yesterday to go on a run with my friend Carin so once I got home, I was starving.
It wasn’t anything fancy, but this banana smoothie tasted refreshing after a run! I had it with a giant scoop of almond butter on the side. Maybe it’s weird, but I like having my nut butter on the side vs. inside the smoothie. Then I just scoop a little out with each bite. Does anyone else do this or am I a total weirdo?
Work has been really busy lately so the morning flew by. Once my stomach started growling, I went to the fridge to grab my lunch. I packed some of this vegetarian taco soup that I made earlier in the week.
It didn’t look quite as beautiful in my Pyrex but you get the idea. I also had a little side salad with it.
The afternoon was filled with meetings but I packed an apple with me to snack on since I knew dinner would be a little later. I munched on this while I wrapped up work for the day.
After work, I went to the Flying Squirrels game with a few friends. Richmond has a AA baseball team and the games are pretty fun to watch. It was hot but we had a good time cheering on the squirrels! (And by cheering on the squirrels I mean we really only paid attention when a fly ball was coming our way.)
Once I got home, I had dinner with Alex. We stopped at Ellwood Thompsons and picked up a few things so I threw together a simple salad.
It wasn’t anything fancy but it was actually really satisfying. I also had a few bites of cheese and then had a little Halo Top while we watched an episode of Seinfeld.
I love the Birthday Cake flavor but the new Wegmans grocery store has the mocha chip flavor which is pretty incredible, too. I need to restock my Halo Top inventory this week! (I’m kind of obsessed. You can read my whole Halo Top review here!)
Do you usually pack your lunch?
I’m linking up with Arman for What I Ate Wednesday!
I feel like I’m the only blogger in the world who still hasn’t tried Halo top! I saw that my local store has it, but I haven’t tried it yet!
AHH I need more Halo Top in my life!! I haven’t had it in so long – mainly because it’s only sold at Whole Foods near me and I haven’t had a Whole Foods run in ages. And the last time they had literally ONE pint left (of the strawberry) in their usually full assortment.
All of your food looks so so so good! Great photos, and now I want nut butter and your breakfast.
Your breakfast looks so good! 🙂
I can feel ya on the nut butter thing. There’s something so much more satisfying with getting some in every bite then all blended up!
I am the complete opposite of you lately. I feel like “ugh, it’s only Wednesday”. It sounds like you’re having a great week!
I’ve never tried the nut butter on the side with a smoothie–but it sounds delicious! I do sometimes have peanut butter toast for breakfast with a simple green smoothie on the side.
I almost always pack my lunch 🙂 Trying to get food on campus anywhere near lunchtime is craziness.
I think you’re on to something with the nut-butter-on-the-side thing. I like to put mine in cereal, but I get annoyed when I don’t have a little bit in each bite.
I packed a lunch today, but I was bad earlier this week. Nothing sounded good other than take-out!
I love anything birthday cake; Halo Top sounds really good to this girl, and it’s kind of one the list of ‘to try.’ Simple salads are some of the best dinners. 🙂
Gahhhhh I NEED to find that birthday cake Halo Top!! But I dont know if its gluten-free. Is it? I adore Halo Top so I just kind of figured that flavor would easily become my favorite. Though the lemon is pretty amazing! And I totally agree with the smoothie / nut butter thing.I like adding mine on top so I can scoop some out with each bite!
Yum! Yes, I pretty much always pack a lunch! I like to pack leftovers of the dinner i made the night before.
