Weeee Wednesday! Halfway through the week! Everyone having a good one? I’m loving this summer heat and long days of sunshine. Upper 90’s may seem insufferable but I swear I’m cold blooded. Anywho, a day of What I Ate Wednesday coming right up!

Duh, split a banana before the gym.

Ran out the door with my typical smoothie, extra kale. Me and the neighbor’s cat have gotten into this little morning routine [see her again in the background??]. She watches me with menacing, ready-to-pounce eyes, I snap picks of my grayish, ugly smoothies. It works.

Someone brought in some white peaches, so naturally I swooped one up and munched on it before lunch.

Speaking of lunch, my salad was deeeeelicious today! Chopped cucumbers, kale, and mixed greens with a zesty hummus dressing. Yeah, hummus. dressing. I’d like to share it with you sometime soon! Topped it off with some salt and pepper and hemp seeds, perfection.

I munched on an apple during a meeting. Didn’t figure it was polite to snap a pic.

For dinner, I got hoodwinked into taking John to The Kitchen for Taco Tuesday. I’m sure you can guess I wasn’t the least bit upset about it. One of my tacos had cilantro lime rice and sautéed greens beans and eggplant; the other had a sweet potato, lentil, quinoa cake and some chimichurri. They were delicious but a bit greasy for my normal weeknight fare.

I did some baking this weekend and whipped up a loaf of zucchini banana bread. It’s made with SIX super-duper ripe bananas, is lightly sweet, and makes a perfect breakfast or snack. Slathered it with a little peanut butter and honey for a perfect nightcap. Yum!

Whewww Wednesday! We made it! Today was a looonngg day. Busy bee at work and then lots of fun evening activities, this What I Ate Wednesday is a doozy!

Fueled up for leg day with a banana I split with John, per usual.

Whisked myself out the door with a green smoothie. Frozen mangos, peaches, bananas, kale, zucchini, vanilla protein powder, spirulina, turmeric, and a pinch of black pepper to kick up the anti-inflammatory power. Can you spy my neighbor’s little kitty on the sidewalk??! She’s super cute but always leaves dead birds in our yard. I cry every time.

For lunch scarfed down at my desk, I had leftovers of yesterday’s recipe. Turns out, Deconstructed Tofu Sushi Bowls also make great lunchbox leftovers! Sadly, I was furiously clicking and typing and forgot to snap a pic. You’ll have to settle for one from my shoot this weekend.

I snacked on an apple and two clementines during the afternoon. Again, I was swamped and forgot to snap a pic. Use your imagination.

Dinner was a simple summer plate of veggies. Sautéed patty pan squash, the sweetest yellow cherry tomatoes, and some avocado toast on nutty wheat bread. Sometimes I love just throwing together whatever veggies are in the fridge from the farmers market and making a meal out of it. Easy, satisfying, healthy!

These cute little donut peaches have been calling my name at the store for a few weeks so we snagged one this weekend to try it. It was good! Sweet and juicy and the perfect summer dessert. Munched on a few cherries too.

After dinner, we biked up to a Columbus Clippers game to catch some baseball. I was so excited to ride our bikes there but I sort of forgot that this morning was leg day. About halfway there I thought my legs might honestly fall off. And then we had to ride all the way back again later. Needless to say, I was haaaangry by the time we got home. I satisfied the grumbling beast with some Love Grown Power O’s because they’re made with beans and packed full of protein and fiber! Topped with some fresh figs and natural peanut butter, I slid right into the couch a very happy girl.

Have a kick-butt rest of the week friends! As for me, I’m taking a rest day tomorrow, my poor little leggies have had about all they can take.
