    What I Ate Wednesday

    Jan 11, 2017 • What I Ate

    Hello!! Welcome back to another What I Ate Wednesday!

    Hope you guys are having a great week!


    BREAKFAST:

    First things first is always lemon water, before anything else! I always make sure to drink 24 ounces (3 cups) of filtered water with 1/2 lemon every morning. I use this mason jar all day every day because its huge and lets me measure. Water helps to rehydrate the body after a long night?s rest when we get dehydrated. It starts the day off on a healthy note, and is SO great for our skin too.

    Then I had a cup of coffee (only one this morning!) with my fave non-dairy creamer ? the Silk Almond Vanilla Flavored Creamer (check out my superfood coffee elixir recipe too!). After about an hour of work, I made a Daily Harvest Chocolate + Blueberry Vitality Smoothie, except I added in extra spinach, berries and banana! Topped it with cacao nibs. Love the Daily Harvest smoothies. I also snacked on a blueberry banana power muffin. Lots of bluebs and nanners…

    P.S. Get 3 FREE smoothies off your first Daily Harvest order using code: glowingfridge – order them here!

    SNACK: 

    Fuji apple drizzled with cinnamon (the best!) with a spoonful of runny almond butter.

    LUNCH: 

    Lunch was a not-as-pretty version of my Roasted Sweet Potato Mash Tostadas! Except instead of white beans I used crumbled plain tempeh. Topped them with romaine, avocado and spicy green sauce from Trader Joe’s instead of my Spicy Magic Green Sauce (which I definitely prefer!). YUM.

    SNACK:

    Snacked on a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Larabar.. couldn’t resist!

    DINNER:

    Rotini pasta with arrabbiata sauce and nutritional yeast, plus a bunch of steamed broccoli! 

     

    Hope you enjoyed this What I Ate Wednesday! It sure was a good day of vegan eats!

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

        Hi Lexi! Thanks, you’re the sweetest! I like doing them and so glad you love reading them 🙂 I will do more Glow Down posts but when I did the survey, a lot of readers said they prefer recipes over those types of posts… so I haven’t done one in a while but I’m happy to bring them back!

        xoxo

    yes, being a mama will always be my #1 priority bu yes, being a mama will always be my #1 priority but in that I’ve sort of lost myself.

It’s my own doing too so don’t feel bad for me 😂 because it truly never felt right to leave my girl. We are very attached. Am I crazy? Yes, probably. But I’m okay with that. I realized my baby will be FINE if I go get a professional haircut or a pampering pedicure. Idk what changed but I think it’s the fact that I’m noticing more wrinkles and my hair could use a transformation. It’s greasy, heavy and lacking life. So I’m getting a haircut this week 💇‍♀️ I’m changing to a customized hair care system AND I’m scheduling a hydra facial because my skin desperately needs hydration. My skin, hair and nervous system need some serious self care haha.

Mamas, it may not feel right just yet to prioritize you but the time will come. Just follow your intuition 🖤🖤🖤 you deserve it.

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    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 🤍🤍🤍

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.

- 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 🍪

    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 👑

Want more info? DM me “king” and I’ll send you the deets 🤍🤍🤍
