Rolling in the (Avoca)Dough.

Let's begin with a little green...
Wednesday's Green Monster had...
-pineapple
-kiwi
-Amazing Grass' Berry Green Superfood
-baby spinach
-water
It was a little tart but I liked it. It woke me up and got me energized for the day.
Of course I had to have some Avocado Toast with it! Do you not know me at all?! ;)

On the way to work, I munched on this Amazing Grass bar. Again, it was okay...not my favorite, but I ate it anyway for some energy.

Lunch was so yummy. I made Sunburger Wraps with romaine lettuce, sunburger crumbles(recipe in Ani's Raw Food Kitchen), and chopped carrots. I left me full and my belly happy.

I also made sure to pack a snack for the way home from work. I get off at five and like to snack on something before I get home to make dinner. This time I had fresh watermelon with Gena's Cashew Cream. Simple but scrumptious.

After letting the watermelon digest, I made myself a truly decadent bowl of Carrot Cake Oats. Let me see if I can remember all that when in this one...

-1/2 cup oats + 1/2 cup water + 1/4 cup coconut milk

-1 shredded carrot

-cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice

-flax

-Artisana Cacao Bliss

-Coconut Abu (equal parts coconut milk and AB)

-2 dried apricots

Wow, this bowl was fantastic! All the flavors and textures were just what I was craving. The coconut Abu was to-die-for and perfect as a topping to oatmeal.

After a terrific night's sleep I woke up later than usual to enjoy this Raspberry-Chococonut Bowl. It was sweet, tangy, rich, and filling. I was satisfied all morning until I left for work.

I like to eat in the car before I get to work so I can keep up my energy until lunch. Today, I made Avocado Toast but on this Hemp Bread instead of the usual TJ's Sprouted Grain. I really liked the flavor of this bread. Nutty and crunchy from the pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. It was pretty expensive so I won't buy it often, but it was a nice little treat. Oh and did I mention it has 13 grams of protein per serving?! Amazing.

Wraps are such a great lunch to pack when traveling. I keep mine in small tupperware so they don't move around and then pack them in a cooler to keep in the office. Today I made Cucumber Wraps. I filled 3 of them with carrots, yellow squash, and avocado. You would think that this tiny meal wouldn't be enough for anyone to be full but I was full after just 2 of them! I managed to get the 3rd down (just because I don't have another break and would get too hungry during work) but it wasn't hard. They were delicious.

By 5pm I wasn't too hungry but could use something refreshing to perk me up. I had this Watermelon Oat Smoothie packed away to drink on the way home. It had

-1 cup frozen watermelon

-1/2 cup almond milk

-1/4 cup coconut milk + 1/4 cup water

-1/4 cup oatmeal

I had never thought to put watermelon in a smoothie before but I am so glad I tried it. It had a mellow, sweet taste to it that was complemented by the nutty oats and dollop of Cashew Cream on top.

When I got home I made a Salad, with a Key Lime Larabar and some Dark Chocolate. Now I have a happy, full belly and I'm ready to shower, get ready for bed, and sleep! I'm hitting up the Field Museum tomorrow so that should be fun. Full re-cap for sure!
