Good morning everyone! I’ve been up since 4:30 today because my school band played for the Honor Flight at 5:30, which is a flight for the local veterans to DC where they spend the day! Needless to say, I hope the day goes by quickly because I need a nap. Onto the eats! These are Tuesday’s meals.
Breakfast
The usual overnight oats topped with cottage cheese + sunbutter + bloobs. That melty sunbutter tho ^^^ π
Lunch
PB&J&B made with the last of Kelvin’s homemade bread + an apple + coconut cashews + almonds
and then this happened….
Sandwich down. Oops.
It still got eaten. I’m not one to waste food π
Snack
Hands down the best Larabar flavor. It tastes just like a Reeses! I had this before track which was 1/2 mile warmup, 20 minute easy run, 1 mile of 150m stride x 250m jog, and 1/2 mile cooldown. ~4 miles.
Dinner
I made Robyn’s black bean quinoa mango salad (quinoa, black beans, corn, red pepper, scallions, and mango) and it sure didn’t disappoint! Love that girl. It’s pretty similar to my Mexican quinoa salad, without the spices. I realized after I cleaned up that I forgot to add the avocado… dang. I served it with the last of the sweet potato lentils I made last week!
I wasn’t too hungry for dessert, but I snacked on 1/2 a banana with peanut butter and greek yogurt before bed. And also some milk straight from the carton (sorry Mom) π it was the perfect night time snack!
That’s all for now! Later today I’m going to a pizza party at church. Hallelujah π
i really must try quinoa π where can i buy? amazing post x
I think they have it at most supermarkets!
Let me add to the sandwich on the floor. She took a picture of it, ate the sandwich, then left the mess on the floor. I stepped on it in the dark. That is just wrong!
haha XD
Literally, I had the same night time snack last night! Peanut butter, banana, and milk from the carton! Twins. Haha!
Your meals look delish, as usual. And that sandwich down picture totally made me laugh. Have a great day, girl! <3

I’ve been having it for a few nights in a row now. So yummy!!
Haha thanks girly π you too!
Up since 4.30?? That’s rough but I hope your performance went well! And fuelled by some awesome food from the day before. I’m not a fan of quinoa but in that combination any grain would be right up my alley. Black beans, mango, corn and lots of spices – perfect!
My usual night time snacks are Greek yogurt with coconut flour, vanilla and sweetener mixed in, chocolate and fruit.

Yes, it’s a perfect summery salad!
I haven’t tried coconut flour yet! What does it do to the greek yogurt?
You’re missing out! The coconut flour’s absorbing quality makes the yogurt even thicker, creamier and adds a delicious taste. Topped with almond butter and a sprinkling of salt it’s the best.

Ooooh that sounds like heaven! Now I just need to get some coconut flour π
My nighttime snack always involves peanut butter. And some chocolate. And an apple. My favorite lol.

That is also a good one π I notice that when I eat apples at night I am STARVING in the mornings!
Feed me everything. EVERYTHING I TELL YOU!
And the sandwich incident – I would totally do the same thing. 5 second rule reigns supreme. Hehe.
Love ya and have an awesome day!

5 second rule. Always π hope you had a lovely day also!
Mmmmm that quinoa salad! Love Larabars. My favorite is cashew cookie π
Ashley recently posted…what I ate on Motherβs Day
I haven’t tried that flavor yet! It sounds so yummy!!
I think I had a lemony flavored Larabar that I thought was really good! I laughed about you eating the sandwich you dropped! I’ve yet to make a quinoa salad…thanks for the inspiration!
Janelle @ Run With No Regrets recently posted…Black Bloggers Connect: My First Blogging Conference!
Hmm, I don’t think I’d be a fan of the lemon larabar. I’m not really much for anything lemon flavored! And let me know if you make any quinoa salad!!
I need to come to northern Michigan so you can cook for me, okay? π

Just let me know when and I’ll be ready π
Late night snack? Hmm. Tea and Arctic Zero/Dessert haha
I LOVE YOUR PHOTOS
Liz @ Carpe Diem and Run recently posted…Monday Miles #15
Two things that I NEVER have haha! Thanks girl π
3 second rule :] Haha! I love the sound of the mango quinoa salad. I bet it’d be great for summer months & probably even better chilled. Have you tried it that way or no?
Fav bedtime snack – Quest Bars
Jessie recently posted…Kiss Me Organics + Vanilla Matcha Protein Smoothie
Yep! I’ve been taking it to lunch cold and it’s wonderful! I’ve only tried about 2 quest bars..maybe I need to give them another try?!
I love all your food recap posts because it makes me realize I’m not the only person who consumes massive amounts of peanut butter on a daily basis! I’m an addict! It just makes everything so tasty!
lex recently posted…WIAW Oatmeal for Days
Hahaha never be ashamed of your peanut butter consumption π healthy fats!! I used to go through a big jar a week but I’ve cut back a little from that π
Eeep, I would have totally cried if my sandwich went down!..then I would have eaten it of course – amid sobs π . Oh how I long to have Larabars in my end of the world; I always pine away at the sight of awesome flavors (like Peanut butter cup!) on blogs.
Pssst! Hear this: I caved in and a bought a jar of Sunflower Seed butter. It was terrible. Seriously. Like “I can’t even stand the smell bad!”
At least I don’t need to fight away my curiosity when I pass it in the store now hey ;)!? I’m planning to give my thorough analysis on why I assume the taste does not appeal to me, soon..but I couldn’t keep it to myself -clearly- hahaa.
Ms.J recently posted…WIAW specific cravings
What?! Oh no! To be honest with you, the first time I tried it I left in in my fridge for a few months because it tasty pretty gross to me. But then I tried it on my oatmeal and I really liked it! So maybe you should try it on something else?! I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it!
i dont really have a late night snack and if i do its always a piece of fruit π
Fruit is a good choice!
I love Larabars but they are a little too pricey so I’ve been experimenting with making my own! Right now my favorite combo is raisins, peanut butter, almond slices and cocoa powder blended in a food processor and rolled into bite size balls. Super good! Your quinoa bowl looks delish, I may have to try making it next week!
Emilie recently posted…Confessions
Oooh those homemade bars sound amazing! Now I just need to get a food processor.. π
Oooo that quinoa salad looks amazing!! As always, overnight oats look on point. π
And I’ve never tried Larabars yet, but their flavors sound so good. The price of them always seems to make me hesitate thoughβ¦.
Favorite pre-bed snack is dried figs with Greek yogurt. Surprise surprise π
Alison @ Daily Moves and Grooves recently posted…Behind the Scenes #21: Current Banes of Existence
You know what? I’ve never tried a fig. Or a date, for that matter!!
Pancakes!! I always make protein pancakes at like midnight haha. and 5 minutes rule, right π
Sunnie@ModernGirlNutrition recently posted…Randomness
Can’t say I’ve ever done that haha! Always π
