So this morning I knew we had plans to go to Panera for breakfast so I decided not to have any coffee at home because I wanted to have a soy mocha at Panera.  I find it so incredibly hard to do this.  It is like my morning is not right until I have some kind of coffee.  It is just comforting and “right.”  But I pushed through and waited til we got to Panera. 🙂  At home I started my morning with my smoothie which consisted of apple, celery, cilantro,ginger,lemon, kale, chia seeds and water.

 

Once we got to Panera I had my soy mocha and I had an egg and spinach on whole grain toast.  It was delicious and hit the spot!

 

For lunch I had leftovers which were fabulous.  I will have to put the recipe for it on the blog in a few days.  It was Mexican Cabbage that I made the night before.  I topped it with a few crumbled sweet potato tortilla chips, cholula and avocado!  I can’t tell you how good this was.  With it I had some Gingerberry Kombucha.  I think Gingerberry might be my favorite flavor so far, although I have loved all the ones I have tried.

 

Later in the afternoon I had two cups of gunpowder “green tea” with mint and half of one of my favorite brownies from Whole Foods.  It’s Gluten and Dairy free which I love!

 

After the pool I made this wonderfully refreshing smoothie. Frozen Mango chunks, an orange, and spinach, then a little water and ice.

For dinner I had 1/2 sweet potato, some beets that I roasted in the oven earlier in the day, steamed broccoli with some ginger chili sauce on it, and Ian’s fish sticks that I originally picked up for my girls but I decided to have some myself.  One of the reasons I bought these are because they are Gluten, Dairy, Soy and Nut Free and they are quite tasty!

 

To finish up my night I had 2 cups of my Turmeric, Ginger and Cinnamon Tea.

and that concludes another WIAW!

This morning I drank my smoothie on the way to take my oldest to tennis camp.  It was pear, celery, lemon, kale, beet greens, chia seeds, cilantro and water.

 

Then we stopped at Panera where I got a soy mocha and a spinach and bacon souffle.  Those little souffle’s are super hard to resist, so I treat myself to one once a week!

 

I had a couple of cups of green tea.

 

 

For lunch I had a spinach salad topped with some roasted beets that I made on Monday, black beans, onions and a carrot ginger dressing.  It was so good!  This was my first time preparing beets and they were so easy to do and delicious.  They really made the salad!

 

In the afternoon I drank about half of this Aloe Gloe.  I love this stuff!

 

My pre dinner smoothie was a plum and cucumber (that I purchased from the Farmer’s Market on Saturday), about an inch of ginger, a couple of handfuls of spinach, and about 3/4 cup of water.

 

For dinner I made brown rice pasta, roasted beets, and roasted broccoli and mushrooms. I love the flavor of roasted veggies.

 

Later in the evening I had a couple of couple of cups of Turmeric and Ginger Tea.

and for a snack I had a bowl of half naked popcorn that I sprinkled with a little cinnamon and celtic sea salt.

 

and that concludes WIAW!

Had my morning coffee in my new Anthropologie mug which made me smile. 🙂

 

For breakfast I made a smoothie with pear, celery, parsley, dandelion greens, flax, lemon, and kale. I love these smoothies, so refreshing and a great way to start the day!

 

Right before lunch I made a cup of green ginger tea.

 

For lunch I made a chipotle black bean burger using millet bread. If you have never used millet bread I highly recommend giving it a try. It is a healthier gluten free alternative to wheat bread. I topped the burger with tomatoes, spinach, onions, ketchup and mustard.  Had a half a sweet potato and dill pickle on the side.

 

For an afternoon snack I had some Kombucha and a Luna Smores bar.

 

Instead of making a pre dinner smoothie like I usually do I decided I wanted a juice from Earthfare. It was sooooo good!

 

Dinner was some cilantro chicken wontons from Trader Joes, these little things are delicious.  I like to dip mine in a little sweet ginger chili sauce made by The Ginger People. I also ate the other half of my sweet potato with it.

 

For something sweet I had a little piece of this chocolate bar that I also picked up from Earthfare.

 

I usually always make my own Ginger and Turmeric tea but I recently discovered Rishi’s Ginger and Turmeric Tea and it is delicious.  I had 2 cups of it before going to bed.

 

and that concludes WIAW!
