And once again, it’s Wednesday. Time to show you what I ate on a certain day of the past week.
Last Saturday we went to another horseback riding lesson. It was our first outdoor ride ever, and it was around 20°F! But it wasn’t that bad, actually. I warmed up after a while, and enjoyed a nice lesson with my new buddy Dingo.
Before we left, I needed a substantial breakfast. One of my favorite sandwich toppings at the moment is the combination of hummus, ajvar, tofurky slices, and cucumber slices. Hearty, filling, and refreshing.
When we go riding on Saturdays, we don’t return home before 2 pm. This time I was smart enough to pack a snack that I could enjoy in the car. I’ve seen those BelVita breakfast cookies at our local grocery store for a few months, but always thought they were just a sugar-laden marketing scam. Then I read a very positive review of those cookies on Tina’s blog, and decided to give them a try. And I really liked them! They were crunchy and hearty and thankfully not too sweet. I’ll definitely buy them again. Oh, I also had a banana with the cookies.
Our late lunch was whipped up in a flash, thanks to some leftover tomato sauce. I only had to cook two servings of pasta and reheat the sauce. Done!
My dinner was a direct result of my spontaneous cravings, a big pile of roasted vegetables: sweet potato sticks, tahini-crusted carrots, and broccoli. I topped it with sweet chili sauce and a tangy tahini dressing. After licking my plate clean (don’t tell me you don’t do that, too!) I was very full. But not too full for a piece of dark chocolate.
What’s your favorite on-the-go snack?
See you!
Aren’t they surprisingly good?! And I’m with you that I thought they were a “healthy treat” only as a marketing thing but they certainly have their virtues and work well for a pre/post workout snack with the whole grains and the sugars in them are okay then too. Sounds like a great snack choice for your day. Hope you had a good ride. 🙂
Hi Tina, thanks for your comment! I’m really glad I gave those cookies a fair chance because of your post.
I picked your blog out of the WIAW links because of the BeVita picture! I’ve thought the same thing about them whenever I saw them in the store, so thanks for sharing the review link! I’ll have to check them out!
You’re welcome! I hope you’ll like them, too.
Those cookies are great!
They are! I need to get more!
Oh my heavens, your lunch & dinner just look delicious.
I love that breakfast idea! Like a sweet and savory sandwich… just what I’m craving today!
These ingredients may not lead to weight loss individually, butt they can be quite effectivee when used in combination.
Green tea is an antioxidant and is known as a
good fat burner too. Research states that some supplements are really effective for
weight loss but consulting the doctor iss still the best move prior to taking any supplements.
