Hey everyone! Welcome to another weekly installment of What I Ate Wednesday! If you’ve never heard of it before, check it out on Peas and Crayons! It’s a great way to find new ideas for meals and snacks, and good for finding new blogs to follow!
This week, I’m showing you my meals and snacks from Monday! It was a switched around day for me: only one review session to go to at my school and a workout in the afternoon instead of the morning! It was also a stressful one since I spent over an hour at Best Buy where they eventually told me they accessed my hard drive but the ONE folder I needed was corrupt. Thanks guys.
So anyway, my morning started off with plenty of studying and work and somewhere in there I managed to throw together some breakfast! I was in a serious mood for pumpkin, so I decided to make some Pumpkin Protein Oats!

1/3 cup water
1/3 cup almond milk
1/3 cup oatmeal
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup pumpkin
1 scoop Sunwarrior Vanilla Protein Powder
cinnamon to taste
1/2 T PB to top
cranberries to top
Always so good! I’m not sure I’ll ever get sick of pumpkin… I just hope my local market doesn’t stop stocking the stuff!
A little after breakfast I packed up my stuff and headed to school. After some extra study time and a review session I came back home and made up a snacky kind of lunch. I had some weird cravings and needed to make food I could eat while working, so here’s what I came up with!
Veggie plate with yellow bell peppers, carrots and celery. Spinach hummus on the plate, and plain hummus (un-pictured).
Then I mixed some peanut flour with truvia and water to make “peanut butter” and spread that, with some Trader Joe’s Cranberry Apple butter on a piece of Udi’s bread, and sliced up a banana to go with it!
I didn’t want to have a heavy lunch, since I was working out with my trainer in just two hours!
When I finally got home for dinner (after my visit to Best Buy…) I was really hungry so I threw a sweet potato in the oven and made a quick salad with spinach, green bell pepper, mushrooms and red beans with nutritional yeast and balsamic vinegar. Topped the sweet potato with hummus and more nutritional yeast! Ready to eat in 6 minutes!
Crazy angle on this picture…
For dessert, I made up another sampler plate. I forgot to take a picture of Monday night’s, but it looked just like this one:
I made a Cinnamon Protein Cupcake, then I had about 1/3 cup greek yogurt with PB flour and truvia mixed in, and finally about 1/2 cup canned pumpkin with almond milk, truvia, cinnamon and nutmeg mixed in. Aaaaand some chocolate chips, of course.
LOVE my dessert samplers!
