Can you believe I went a whole day without eating veggies? I should be ashamed as this month’s What I Ate Wednesday Challenge is after all to add an extra cup of veggies. If you don’t know what WIAW is, check it out on Peas and Crayons.
I thought I’d share my Saturday eats with you anyway because I just thought it was pretty funny. Don’t worry, I made up for it these past few days. Or at least I very well attempted.
Woke up early to head to my 8:30am Anatomy class. I had Van’s Gluten & Wheat Free Blueberry Waffles with cashew butter, blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup. Mmm, mmm good!
For my little snack during class I brought along some raw cashews. When 9:30am hits, I usually start to crash and my lunch break isn’t until 11:20am. I need something to munch on, asap!
Lunch? I wouldn’t call it lunch as it was more of a fruit and cheese platter. I had kettle cooked chips with strawberries and two Babybel cheeses. Simple? Yes. Healthiest? No. Delicious? Absolutely!
While in lab (shh, we aren’t allowed to eat there) I munched on a Clif white chocolate macadamia bar. I seriously can’t get tired of this flavor. Now watch me hate it next week. Just. Watch.
I came home with the only heartburn. [*cough.too.much.acidic.food.cough*] I eased it with raspberry Chobani. Silly me, it has raspberries. More acid in my tummy. Oh Sabrina, you never learn!
Your going to really laugh at this one. I opted for more acid later by having tomato basil soup. What? I was really craving soup and my tummy was feeling better. Yes, a tomato isn’t a veggie, it’s a fruit (hence this all fruit, no veggies title). I also had a basil mozzarella flat bread slice on the side.
Dessert? Oh you know I had to have some chocolate mousse. But this time instead of adding butter, I added the dark chocolate cream cheese spread for a cheesecake like mousse. Result? Now I can eat something cheesecake-y everyday without baking. Okay, I realized that wasn’t even a real answer. It was delicious! Thick dark chocolate “cheesecake” goodness in bowl.
I think I slightly overdid it on the acid foods today. Berries. Tomato. Cheese. Chocolate. Sigh! But it was delicious and I made sure that Sunday was a bit more on the bland side by having bananas, pasta, rice and such.
Question: Have you ever gone a whole day without eating veggies?
Gee, the last time I did that was maybe last year during my I had veggies era, which by the way lasted about 23 years!
