What I Ate Monday
This week, I’m sharing all the meals I ate on Monday! I hope it gives you some ideas and inspiration for easy vegetarian meals. Let’s dive right into breakfast:
Ice cream for breakfast is a regular occurrence around here… Ok not really. This is just my standard banana smoothie recipe for breakfast, topped with a little extra peanut butter.
Speaking of food-that-looks-like-dessert-but-is-actually-really-healthy… my morning snack involved a couple of these gorgeous treats:
I packed a couple of these mini protein donuts to keep me full through lunch. These are like little cinnamon sugar donuts. So yummy! (If you don’t have a donut pan, that’s no problem! You can make this recipe in a mini muffin pan instead.)
My friend and I walked over to a different cafeteria for lunch (our office has 4 cafeterias!) and the one we went to has a pretty good taco/burrito bar so naturally, I had to get a burrito bowl.
This one had brown rice, black beans, fajita veggies, tomato salsa, corn salsa, onions, cilantro, tomatillo salsa and hot salsa. Clearly, I love salsa. It was delicious.
Around 4:00, I had a few handfuls of these Somersaults.
These are so addicting, you should be impressed that this bag lasted me a whole week. I kept it hidden in my desk drawer so I wouldn’t be staring at it all the time. Otherwise it certainly wouldn’t have lasted that long.
When I got home from work, I went for a quick run with my friend Carin. One I got back, I popped dinner in the oven and hopped in the shower while dinner roasted. I make this red potato, chickpea, & asparagus recipe all the time because it’s one of Alex’s favorites. (Well, if we’re being honest, I love it too.)
It’s so simple but the dill + lemon is delicious.
After dinner I had a piece of dark chocolate from the stash Alex gave me for Valentine’s day. That man knows that I’m basic and predictable. Chocolate wins every time.
Somersaults…love the name and the look but that kind of thing barely lasts a DAY in my office!
It sounds like wherever you work has truly amazing food options… I’m jealous!
Haha they honestly do! I’m spoiled!
I love how you have a combination of healthy, yummy treats. Ice cream for breakfast sounds really refreshing, and protein doughnuts means that you can eat your doughnuts and have your protein too. 🙂
Mm ice cream and donuts! Winning the morning with that combo. The best thing I ate yesterday was a huge chocolate chip cookie from the ABC cookie company. I forget how good a simple cookie can be
MMMM everything looks great! I need to bust out my donut pan. Its been a while since I put it to work! Why is it that we go through phases like that? lol
Um that burrito bowl – mind blowing. And those donuts, going to check out that recipe now. Perfect reason to ask for a donut pan!!
That burrito bowl looks awesome. I had Moes for lunch the other day and got a burrito bowl, but yours looks better. Best thing I ate yesterday was a spinach salad at dinner, but I didn’t get to finish it since we were late for a movie. Now I’m wishing I’d boxed it up!
These mini donuts look so cute! Best things that I ate was morning oatmeal with raspberry jam and lemon 🙂
I wish hiding food made it less desirable at work- I am such a snacker at work. I think it’s because my current job isn’t the most inspiring.
I know you said I don’t need a donut pan- but those little cuties make me want one!
Love the multi taskinf- roasting veggies while showering! Best thing I Ate yesterday was also chocolate from valentine’s day 🙂
