Welcome to yet another WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday) served with an extra cup of veggies!
I started off my morning at 6:00 am making some of my new Irish Breakfast tea from
adagio teas. Making tea is my absolute favorite way to start the day.
After sipping my tea and a quick Biology study sesh, I wrapped up some of
Allen Lim’s rice cakes that I made the night before…and ate one as a pre-swim snack while I was at it.
Then I went for a relaxing and meditative 2000 m endurance swim as the sun was coming up. I was feeling pretty sore from a massage I got during my rest day on Monday, so an easy, low key, medium paced swim was just what my body ordered.
Post-swim I had some yummy tapioca crepes!

Filled and topped with fresh strawberries and cream cheese/protein fluff made with 1 tablespoon cream cheese, 1 tablespoon almond butter, 1 tablespoon brown rice protein powder, and 2 tablespoons of almond milk; microwaved for 20 seconds and stirred to combine.
I also made these other two variations earlier this week:
(Top) Cream cheese and cherry stuffed, topped with sunflower seed butter and unsweetened coconut flakes.
(Bottom) Cream cheese and strawberry stuffed, topped with Justin’s vanilla almond butter.
Mid-morning I found a little motivation to study in the bottom of a gingerberry kombucha bottle.
And for lunch before heading to class I had some open faced turkey sandwiches made on scrumptious sandwich bread from the
Gluten Free Almond Flour Cookbook with hummus, dijon mustard, lettuce and peppered turkey. With a snacked on carrot on the side.
Before my evening class I had some balsamic roasted vegetables and quinoa inspired by
Veggie Belly. Instead of grilling the vegetables I roasted them at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes, stirring every 10. I added asparagus to the mix and jazzed it up with some Frank’s and parmesan cheese. Definitely got an extra cup of veggies in there!
After my class I was rather hungry, so I had some yogurt, cherries, and granola. I was so hungry in fact, I didn’t worry about cleaning up my dish before taking a photo.
And I ate like 5 more mouthfuls of granola before putting it away! Granola is one of those things where I just.cant.stop.eating.it until like 20 minutes later when I’m like…whoa…I’m full. I love it.
What is motivating you to get through the week?

Beautiful photos and eats as always! My favorite is actually your evening snack…I need to add cherries back into my regular eating. I just haven’t seen the frozen bag at Costco these days.
Happy Hump Day!
Thanks!! We have been buying two bags of cherries every time we go out of fear that next time they won’t be there! They are such an incredible deal.
all of your eats look amazing! definitely things that i would eat
starting out the morning with a swim sounds like the best way to start a day
Thanks! Agreed on the morning swim!
