What I Ate Monday
After an indulgent birthday weekend, my body was craving slightly healthier meals on Monday! I was hungry as soon as I woke up, so I enjoyed some Greek yogurt with berries.
So simple but so delicious! Normally I have a snack in the morning but this really kept me full and I was busy with work so I didn’t have time to even think about it!
For lunch, I hit the salad bar. I loaded it up with veggies and topped it with hummus, chickpeas, feta, and balsamic vinegar. This really hit the spot. I love feta + chickpeas.
The afternoon went by pretty quickly and I snacked on a mini Larabar just before leaving work.
I love these little bite sized ones! It’s a perfect little snack. I had the peanut butter chocolate chip kind and it tastes like cookie dough.
After work, I met up with Megan and Niki to talk about some blog collaboration ideas. Stay tuned! We’ve got a fun idea coming up!
While we chatted at Cafe Caturra, I had a some crostini that was so good. Fresh tomatoes in the summer can’t be beat, especially with mozzarella.
After happy hour, I headed to a friends house for some more girl time!
My friend Carin had a whole delicious spread of veggies, hummus, cheese and crackers! I felt so spoiled! It was fun getting to catch up while watching a little bit of the Olympics. Is anyone else enjoying the games?? I’ve been kind of obsessed with the women’s gymnastics. (Obviously. How can you not be?!)
This was such a good way to start the week! I need to make a habit of planning fun things on Monday. It was a really nice having so much to look forward to when starting the week!
Have you been watching the Olympics?
I’m linking up with Laura for What I Ate Wednesday!
Happy belated birthday! It was my birthday last weekend, too. Small world. 🙂
I love chickpeas and feta too. Such a delicious and healthy combo
I love watching the gymnastics and volleyball. But have pretty much been keeping them on TV anytime I’m home. And aren’t those bite sized Larabar’s the best? I rarely ever really need a full sized bar, so these are so perfect!
I love watching gymnastics too!!! I can’t get enough! And those little larabars are so perfect 🙂

I love salad bars!! Yum and your creation looks free good. I love to watch swimming and track and field events.
That crostini, though. I love a good salad bar – your creation looks on point!
Oh a blogger collaboration? That sounds fun! I have not been watching the Olympics. This is the only time every four years I wish I had TV!
Women’s gymnastics is absolutely incredible! They seem almost to be super human. :o) And I love hearing about blogger collaborations! I can’t wait to watch running at the Olympics.
Yes!!! All the athletes are so amazing!
Watching all the gymnastics! Can’t get over just how dominant the USA women are this year.
Mmm that crostini looks amazing! I’m also having a major salad craving right now. Pile on all the veggies!
