Sometimes it’s fun to see what others eat daily so I thought I’d kick it old school EBF style and share a full day of typical eats…
I took photos of everything, but forgot the apple, almond and peanuts I ate for a mid-afternoon snack, the La Croix I drank at some point during the afternoon and the mug of coconut chai tea I had after dinner.
Here’s the line up:

Upon waking, I had a cold brewed iced coffee with frothed almond milk. I had kind of forgotten about my mini frother so it was fun to pull it out yesterday and make fancy coffee.
For breakfast I had a protein pancake. This time I used 1/2 banana instead of the figs and topped it with blueberries and almond butter.

I’m loving the roasted almond butter with flax seeds from Trader Joe’s. It’s so crunchy!
Lunch was a “throw everything that’s in the fridge on greens and make a salad” kind of day. I had a big bowl of spinach with lots of left over grilled veggies (squash, onion and eggplant), corn from the cob, orange bell pepper, broccoli slaw with peanut sauce and garbanzo beans.

I love these types of salads – they’re so flavorful, you don’t even need any dressing!
To soothe my craving for something sweet after lunch I busted out the Power Snacks I was sent to review from Navitas Naturals.

I had three of Cacao Gogi bites and liked them. They weren’t too sweet, but definitely took away my sweet tooth. I haven’t tried the Citrus Chia flavor yet, but once I do I will certainly post a full review.
And last but not least, for dinner I had Isaac grill some bbq tempeh when he was grilling burgers for he and his dad.

While he was grilling I prepped some veggies.
Butternut squash fries are back! <– This is so exciting to me as I love butternut squash and it’s a true sign that fall is drawing near. Bring on the pumpkin and squash!

All together I had the tempeh, quinoa, b-nut squash fries and collard greens.

Everything was delish, but the fries were the highlight of the meal for me. The squash was actually from Isaac’s parents garden and it was amazingly sweet! Since I had something sweet with dinner, I ended up being able to resist my normal after dinner snack. This was a big achievement for me because I’m the queen of after dinner snacking. A current goal of mine is to kick the habit of eating snacks because I’m bored or just wanting something sweet. So far so good!
So there you have it friends, what I ate yesterday! Now it’s time to focus on today because it just so happens to be Friday and I have a three day weekend to look forward to!
Do you have any plans for the holiday weekend? We have a wedding to attend and I’m hoping to host or go to a cook-out. Gotta enjoy the warm weather while it’s still around. It will be fall before we know it!
