    What I Ate Wednesday

    Apr 26, 2017 • What I Ate

     

    Hiii and happy What I Ate Wednesday! 

    Hope you’re having the best week! I sure am, especially after yesterday’s Unicorn Toast.

    Let’s get into my full day of plant based eats. 


    HYDRATION:

    You guys know how crazy I am about water first thing in the morning. Every single morning, before anything else… I say it every week! Water is imperative for keeping my skin clear and smooth. I use this ginormous mason jar all day every day because I can measure out how much I’m drinking (I aim for 2-3 liters per day) and I’m not wasting plastic water bottles. 

    Sometimes it’s plain water, sometimes it’s lemon water, sometimes its Mermaid Lemonade, (which so many of you have been loving!) but today it was plain filtered water using this filter which is a zillion times better than Brita, but any filtered water is better than tap, so do what you can.

    What I Ate Wednesday. A full day of healthy, plant based vegan meals & snacks. Yummy and always colorful. Veggie burgers, salads, smoothie bowls & more!

    BREAKFAST: 

    Breakfast was a ‘Blue Majik’ Smoothie Bowl with so much goodness! Recipe below 🙂 One new thing I’ve been adding to my daily morning routine is one tablespoon of blackstrap molasses with breakfast. Molasses is a great source of iron, calcium, magnesium and vitamin B6. I’m always trying to incorporate more iron into my days, being a vegan and all! 

    What I Ate Wednesday. A full day of healthy, plant based vegan meals & snacks. Yummy and always colorful. Veggie burgers, salads, smoothie bowls & more!

    Blue Majik Smoothie Bowl:

    1 ripe, frozen banana (read my How To Freeze Bananas post!)
    1.5 cups frozen cauliflower florets
    3/4 cup frozen blueberries
    1 scoop Vega Protein and Greens
    1/2 teaspoon maca powder
    1 capsule of E3Live Blue Majik (could also use spirulina)
    1/2 cup almond coconut milk blend + 1 cup filtered water

    ** Top with bananas (used these super cute shape cut-outs), cacao nibs and a drizzle of dreamy cashew butter

     

    SNACK: 

    A cup of coffee with a splash of fave Silk Almond Vanilla Creamer (used my new frother!). Plus a couple no-bake energy balls, with Vega Protein and Greens (which you guys know I’m obsessed with) instead of powdered peanut butter. I’ve also been loving my lemon coconut energy balls!

    What I Ate Wednesday. A full day of healthy, plant based vegan meals & snacks. Yummy and always colorful. Veggie burgers, salads, smoothie bowls & more!

    LUNCH: 

    Lunch was a easy leafy green salad with quinoa, celery, apple, slices of tempeh, red cabbage shreds, pepita seeds and the Simple Girl Citrus Ginger Dressing (oil-free and so good!).

    What I Ate Wednesday. A full day of healthy, plant based vegan meals & snacks. Yummy and always colorful. Veggie burgers, salads, smoothie bowls & more!

    SNACK:

    Avocado toast on ezekial bread with crushed red pepper flakes and kale sprouts… carb cravings ha.

    What I Ate Wednesday. A full day of healthy, plant based vegan meals & snacks. Yummy and always colorful. Veggie burgers, salads, smoothie bowls & more!

    DINNER:

    I have Spicy Black Bean Burgers coming to the blog soon, but I tried out these Vegan Broccoli Cheeze Chickpea Burgers from Hummusapien and loved them! Terry ate 3 burgers in one sitting…. yep. LOL. Plus a side of quinoa and steamed asparagus. It’s asparagus season, yay!

    I might have snuck a few pieces of this crunchy mint dark chocolate bar that I’ve been buying lately, from Target. Mmmm.

    ?

    Hope you enjoyed this What I Ate Wednesday!

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- breakfast tacos with pastured eggs
- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
