What I Ate Wednesday

Back again for another What I Ate Wednesday! These are fun. :D

First up, a simple smoothie – spinach, Amazing Grass Lemon Lime, almond milk and banana.

After my morning weights workout, I could barely lift my (heavy!) pan to make an egg. Somehow I did it:

Two fried eggs over salad greens. The runny yolk was the dressing!

Lunch was a cheese sandwich – tofutti cream cheese, Tillamook Colby Jack, ketchup – melted in a skillet.

Afternoon snack was Black Cherry Chobani and 5 tablespoons hemp hearts. One of my favorite snacks!

Jason is making dinner tonight, and until then, one of these is holding me over:

Mmm, it’s my new favorite brownie! Check out what’s in them!

Runny yolk dressing? Genius! I’ve done this as the “sauce” on savory oats, but never thought about it with salad greens. Definitely trying this out soon.

Fried eggs on salad!? I’m definitely gonna do that. I love getting veggies in the morning. But when I make this, husband will surely roll his eyes and claim that I’m being too healthy. Whatevs.

I have yet to find the Black Cherry Chobani. It looks devine. What a deliciously healthy day! What did Jason make for din din?

Chobani sent it to me… although I heard it was the one flavor out of the three new ones (+ mango + lemon) that is actually available somewhere in Oregon… if I find it I’ll let you know!

That smoothie such a vibrant green! And I love the idea of yolk as dressing.

Eggs on salad greens!! Smart you! I would not have thought of that, but seeing the photo makes me want to do that myself. Seriously, it looks great! And the cheese sandwich too.

How do you make your smoothies look so green? The only green thing with me here is my envy. ;) I want one! :D

Once again, BEAUTIFUL photos of your food! Seriously! Love the color of the smoothie- you know it’s got some vitamins and minerals in there. ;)

Mmmm… melty cheese…. and yummy brownies! Do I spy some fig (seeds) in there??

YES – figs! you guessed correctly! …see my next post if you want to know more… :D

At first I thought you juiced a banana and was going to ask how the heck you managed that-but it’s a smoothie, makes much more sense!

Reply

26 spabettie March 23, 2011 at 10:25 pm

ha! I had a conversation just tonight about juicing a banana – I’ve never tried, but I know there are people who have! I can’t imagine it would produce anything? :)

Came across your blog via Peas & Crayons. That smoothie is a gorgeous green and I bet it was delicious! :) Also: the salad and fried egg concept is GENIUS. I definitely need to try this one. I have a feeling you are going to be an awesome food inspiration for me!

hey Jennifer!! first off… I LOVE the name… I think I am guilty of fabulous over-use. ;) thanks for coming by and thanks for saying hello! I hope the inspiration continues…
