    What I Ate Wednesday

    Aug 30, 2017 • What I Ate

     

    Good morning! 

    How’s your week going?! Happy What I Ate Wednesday! We have lots of yumminess happening today, including these tasty little Sejoyia Coco-Roons  🙂


    HYDRATION:

    My morning hydration was a cup of water with liquid iodine – a new addition to my routine that I’m trying. Read more about that here! I won’t go without drinking tons of water first thing in the morning. It’s habit to me now, but I used to need friendly reminders to get my water in before diving into breakfast, which is why I share it here with you guys! After that I made iced passion fruit green tea from Pique Tea Crystals (pictured above). So refreshing and a nice little pick-me-up.

     

    BREAKFAST: 

    I start to crave more carbs in my luteal phase, and for good reason –  our bodies need the extra energy! So I opted for avocado toast using the Angelic Bakehouse sprouted bread (which I love). Then I also made a protein smoothie to tide me over until lunch.

    Creamy Cauliflower Protein Smoothie:

    • 2 handfuls spinach
    • 1/2 frozen banana
    • 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower
    • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
    • 1 tablespoon sunflower seed butter
    • 1/2 scoop vanilla Vega Sport vanila protein
    • 1.5 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    • 1/4 cup filtered water

    What I Ate Wednesday

    LUNCH: 

    Lunch was the yummiest soup and salad! I picked up the Carrot Ginger soup from Trader Joe’s and heated it up in a cup, paired with Mary’s Gone crackers. My salad had spring mix, cucumber, chickpeas, cabbage, coconut and crushed almonds, along with my Spicy Magic Green Sauce for dressing – it can be used for anything!

    What I Ate Wednesday

     

    SNACKS:

    Let’s talk a little about snacks. What does your work day snack look like? Mine usually consists of an apple with almond butter, but when I want something more exciting, I can’t get enough of the Sejoyia Coco-Roons! I picked them up at Walmart as they’re new to the gluten-free aisle. I will say, it’s hard to abstain from eating the whole bag! Coco-Roons are a healthier, clean-eating, non-GMO treat. Think superfood cookie meets lots of cashews and coconut, sweetened with pure, organic maple syrup (aka no refined sugar!). Coco-Roons satisfy my sweet tooth cravings in a guilt-free manner with healthier ingredients that are the yummiest!

    These superfood cookies are organic, gluten-free, paleo-friendly, vegan, and kosher. My favorite flavors are Brownie and Lemon Pie! Lemon is light and refreshing, similar to airy lemon cake and brownie is made with organic cocoa and has a deep, rich, chocolate-y flavor! Take advantage of the $0.75 off ibotta offer when you purchase 1 Sejoyia Coco-Roons at Walmart, while supplies last! Also, get an additional $.50 for redeeming the rebate on 3 different shopping trips.

    Pack them as a snack on-the-go.

    What I Ate Wednesday
    Make them into a cookie sandwich with almond butter in the middle!

    Or eat them plain when you have a cookie craving 🙂

    DINNER:

    I made a big batch of red lentil pasta with broccoli, zucchini, artichoke, tomatoes and green peas!

    What I Ate Wednesday

     

    Plus my nightly cup of Calming Magnesium Beauty Sleep Tea before bed! 

    ?

    Hope you enjoyed this What I Ate Wednesday! 

    Did you make anything yummy this week?! Leave me a comment!

    Also, if you?re ever wanting to look at past ?What I Ate? posts, they?re archived under the ?What I Ate? category.


    XOXO,
    Shannon

    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 🙏🏼
