Lean, Green WIAW Machine

by Tiff

Thanks for checking out my weekly What I Ate Wednesday (WIAW) post. Jen at Peas and Crayons has yet again hosted the WIAW blog-hop party, so be sure to check out all the other WIAW posts.

I’ve been crazy-busy lately, but that’s okay.  Busy > Bored  (When was the last time I was bored???  I can’t believe I used to have those summer days around the age of 13 where I couldn’t find a darn thing to do with my time.  What happened???)  Anyway… onto the eats…

Breakfast: pre-workout rice cake; overnight oats with blueberries, chia, and plain yogurt at the office

wiaw oats

Snack: peach + 10 almonds

 wiaw peachy

Lunch: whole wheat English muffin with half a can of tuna and 3 TBS roast red pepper hummus, sliced cucumber, and a for-one serving of Green Giant’s baby brussels

 wiaw lunch

Snack: plain Greek yogurt + 5 almonds

greek

Dinner: grilled chicken breast with a TBS of natural BBQ on a whole wheat bun with a side of steamed broccoli

dinner

Snack: You’re not surprised to see an after-dinner snack, are you?  I didn’t photograph it, but it’s just a spoon of PB.  Soooo exciting.

The meals aren’t pretty, but at least there’s healthy fat, lean protein, and green on the side.  Not too shabby.

 

  • What’s your favorite afternoon snack?  I’m clearly in need of inspiration!

  1. Tuna + roasted red pepper hummus sounds like a good combo!

    My favourite afternoon snack is Greek yogurt… so I’m not much help! ;) But I also like homemade bars, fruit, cottage cheese + cocoa powder, or an apple chopped up with cottage cheese, cinnamon, and granola.

  2. Yum yum! My favorite afternoon snack is similar to yours, Greek yogurt! But I Also add my homemade granola. Another favorite is string cheese and peanut butter (yes, I eat them together, I know, weird!). I also love wasabi almonds (I bought some at Earthfare and now I’m hooked!)

  3. Right now I am loving carrots or dried fruit dipped in almond butter, tum!

  4. I usually have hummus and veggies or pita chips, yogurt, or protein bars for an afternoon snack! Or fruit with PB2 ;D

  5. I think this week’s looks super healthy! Good job!

  6. I hardly ever plan healthy snacks. I need to work on that.

  7. I think your meals are pretty! I’ve been all about the blueberries lately. They seem particularly sweet this season!

  8. I’ve been snacking on zucchini muffins all week in the pm. I don’t understand how they’re not gone already!

    Usually, I just go to my stash of pretzels or granola bars at work. Pretty standard stuff over in these parts…

  9. Lately I’ve been making juices and bringing them with me to work. They give me that extra pick me up to keep me going through the afternoon and get my toosh into yoga or pilates!

  10. I’m sad not to see the spoonful of PB. :( Those are my favorite!! LOL.

  11. Busy > bored. Hands down. Especially at work!

    Now I want a BBQ chicken sandwich :)

  12. Afternoon snacks for me have been wasabi peas and greek yogurt (not together though!)

  13. Love hummus on a sandwich! So good!

  14. I’ve been having big time afternoon chocolate cravings lately, so my snack of choice the last few days have been Luna Bars…. Choc Peppermint and Choc Coconut. YUM
