The theme this month is all about fitting in more green veggies and fruits ...which I apparently didn't do too well with on this day. Ah well, there's always next week!
Snack: a Think Thin Creamy PB bar
I ate this before my 9:30am Crossfit class...I definitely need something in my tummy before a tough workout but certainly not a full breakfast. This bar did the trick - I had energy to give it my all, didn't get lightheaded, and wasn't weighed down. #score
Breakfast: A homemade multi-grain waffle topped w/ plain 0% Chobani, diced peaches, & a sprinkle of chia seed granola with egg whites
I often bust out my waffle maker to whip up a big batch of waffles, which I then individually wrap and freeze. Much easier (and faster) than dirtying up the iron for one at a time. Loving the yogurt, fruit, and granola topping lately :)
Lunch: Light chicken parmesan cutlets with a lettuce, tomato, & cuke salad
My boyfriend and I had made this healthier version of chicken parm with whole wheat spaghetti for dinner the day before. But, I knew I was having pasta with dinner so I just ate these plain...still really good haha!
Dinner: Cajun Chicken Pasta!
I had been dying to make this Skinnytaste recipe. Glad that I finally got to try it because it was absolutely delicious. Looking forward to the leftovers for sure!
Dessert: A chocolate protein smoothie
I figured I'd earned a treat so I blended together some chocolate protein powder, a frozen banana, some skim milk, and a squeeze of honey. It was the perfect after dinner snack - decently healthy, thick & creamy, and oh so chocolatey! [Random aside: The funny little face is the logo for New England-based chain, Newbury Comics. Love, love, love that store!]
What do you make for a quick treat when you're trying to keep on the healthier side? Have a super awesome week, guys!
My healthy treats are creamy yogurt with berries, dark chocolate or popcorn! I'm going to try out that Cajun chicken pasta - it looks awesome
ReplyDeleteYou got me craving popcorn now! Heheh and you certainly can't go wrong with dark chocolate :) Definitely give the pasta a try - super yummy!
DeleteI've had my eye on that Skinnytaste recipe too. Good to know it's delicious, I need to make it soon!
ReplyDeleteHer photos were a lot prettier than mine, which is what drew me in lol ;) I hope you try it & enjoy it as much as I did!
DeleteCajun spices sound so good right now...as do waffles. Maybe I need a sweet-AND-savory fix. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it...but I don't know if I would recommend Cajun-seasoned waffles! ;)
DeleteWe love waffles here. Although I need to get a new waffle iron, mine is ancient and doesn't make for poofy waffles :-(
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.
Oh yeah, you gotta have some poof to waffles - otherwise, they're like lead weights! I have a $30 Cuisinart waffle iron and it works great! And no prob - back at ya :)
DeleteWhat a clever waffle topping- healthy but decadent!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely - syrup is great and all, but its nice to switch it up! Thanks for swinging by my WIAW :)
DeleteI love those Think Thin bars!
ReplyDeleteThis is the only flavor I've tried so far - looking forward to trying the others! Thanks for reading :)
DeleteI really like think thin bars... they keep me pretty full for an energy bar! I like your waffle topping as well :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! And I agree - they have a lot of protein & not a ton of sugar so they're a great & filling snack!
DeleteHuge fan of 85% dark chocolate for a quick treat... that's my go-to dessert :)
ReplyDeleteYou're making me crave waffles too
Mmmm yum - love dark chocolate! I bet you could whip up an amazing dark chocolate waffle to solve this dilemma ;)
