Happy Wednesday, everyone! I hope this week is treating you well. It’s time for another What I Ate Wednesday!
First up, a new smoothie. This one kept me energized all morning – I had a great workout – perhaps I’ll make this every day?
MCA Smoothie
serves one
3-4 handfuls fresh spinach
Maca – 1 tablespoon
Coconut water – 8 ounces
Avocado – 1/2
A bit of a stretch, isn’t it? When you have smoothies and juice every day, sometimes it’s hard to name them. Hmm. I suppose that’s only a blogger thing?
Next you are going to tell me only a blogger would serve a smoothie in a cocktail shaker…
This smoothie was amazing! Maca adds a nutty richness from the peculiar flavor I cannot describe, and the avocado gives it a lush creamy finish. I figured since Adam Yauch is beating his cancer with the help of a vegan diet, this is a proper tribute to him. Still praying for a full and speedy recovery, MCA, and not only because I want to see my Beasties in concert again… :)
Other eats from the week:
This weekend I made my spinach pancakes. I made them with my Ener-G egg replacer, so they were not quite as fluffy, but still great! I made them into a deli sandwich of sorts, with Tofurkey, cheddar Soy Kaas and butter lettuce.
Perfect sandwich to me!
I’ve been eating a grapefruit a day – my favorite!
Bowls for dinner – a take on my Thai Sweet Potato Lettuce Wraps.
I ran out of avocados that night… boo!
I’ve been eating many of my favorite bar flavor…
and maybe we discovered some golden fried asparagus?
It was served with a garlic aioli. Good grief, Charlie Brown, this was GOOD.
In other news, Basil felt his presence was needed here, and wanted to say hello.
All the better to hear you with…

your first dish made me think of the Dr. Seuss book “Green eggs & ham”
You’re such a fun creative eater!
OMG Basil w/ his ears flipped back is SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I just saw fried asparagus in an email and it had me drooling! Now my attention is definitely piqued!
I want your pancake sandwich! Sometimes pancakes or waffles are the perfect solution to wanting something a little different than bread
Basil is so CUTE! Ha!
LOVE your WIAW! I love how you turned the spinach pancake into a sandwich!!
Yummy! Have a great day love! xoxo <3
oh basil, he knows how to pose. Love all things green here!
ok now I am hungry for breakfast from this post…. haha
That green smoothie sounds amazing…it is hard to come up with good green smoothies names, I am not very clever so it hard for me
Your pictures look lovely! That’s so funny about the smoothie because MCA is an acronym we use at work ALL The time (obviously not for a smoothie) haha so I laughed when I saw this! I like your MCA!
What a pancake sandwich!
I’m thinking about eggs and spinach for a late lunch …
Basil’s presence is always needed!
Your spinach pancake sandwich looks delicious! I buy Soy Kaas cheese but I’ve never seen slices, only the big brick of “mozzarella”.
I just love your spinach pancakes. I had oatmeal this morning (big shocker). Not sure what the rest of the day will hold actually. May end up eating lunch out. I think today will be our one shopping day. Though I’m looking at the beach and rethinking that
I so need to try the almond butter food bars. Their peanut butter ones are just too good
Everything looks so yummy!
I’m all about the maca and avocados in smoothies. Sometimes I get in a rut, and I just have to pull out the maca and get a little maca buzz going
So much green! I love the pancakes, definitely straight out of a Dr. Seuss book lol And Basil is adorable!
I’ve been eyeing your green pancakes for awhile now. I might just have to make them before I go away this summer. yum! What a great idea to make them into a sandwich too!! I just cut fresh asparagus from our garden last night and it is a-roastin’ in the oven right now!
what a fun/creative twist on the classic pancake! your sandwich looks great!
i want basil so bad…he is so cute!!
so. flipping. creative.
Oh my goodness you are soo healthy! I would never imagine making these things…but I bet they are delish!!!
I need to take some of your creativity and apply it to my own food 
And Basil is ADORABLE. My dog gets flipped ears all the time…usually when he is being bad
Hehe
Fried asparagus?! That is nuts and sounds delish!
Can’t go wrong with bright green food! Mm, that whole sandwich combo looks so good. I want that asparagus! I had fried avocado the other day and it was amazing enough–this looks even better (plus fried + veggie = neutral health food? I think so).
Love that cute green pancake sandwich
. So creative!
Oh my gawsh, these spinach pancakes are genius! Now they’re on my must-make asap-list.
I’m dying to try maca in a smoothie! I’m chicken poop though =) haha! Buying something new is always hard for me!
Ohhhhhhhhh, fix his poor little ears!!! I can’t stand it! I’m seriously waving my hands in front of my face like, “eeeeeek!” I know it doesn’t hurt them, so why does seeing doggie ears flipped over give me the heebie jeebies?!
I am in love with that spinach pancake sandwich! Gorgeous!
I’ve never thought to use pancakes in a sandwich- that’s a great idea!
The fried asparagus with aioli sounds incredible!
it was
these look phenomenal – love the green! that sandwich sounds fresh and delicious too.
this is lunch today!
hope you are doing well, you are still in my thoughts, C
