Congrats to Danielle C. for winning my MealEnders giveaway!
Phew! These past few days have been exhausting and I am so looking forward to the weekend. Though, I said that on Sunday, too! Monday was a crazy bit of running around and when I went to pack up a lunch on Sunday, I realized I really didn’t have time to eat anything other than snacks. Luckily, we’re always stocked up on snacks and that was just what I did.
[Breakfast]
The trusty egg white oatmeal breakfast. I knew I’d need something to hold me over and I can always count on my oats.
[Snack #1]
An old picture, but essentially the idea. I mixed some Greek yogurt with a little chocolate peanut butter protein powder and chia seed, then topped it with Honey Power O’s. The honey is quite tasty but I really need to get my hands on some chocolate Power O’s again!
[Snack #2]
They just keep getting better! I’m in love with Quest bars and this was my first time trying the S’mores. I expected it to be similar to the Cookies N Cream bar but the little bits of graham cracker are SO good! And this bar was nice and chunky. MMMMM! I had limited time to get from Athleta to the train and get my butt into the city so this was the perfect treat.
[Snack #3]
Once I got into SF, I had just enough time to stop at Tender Greens and get this delicious bowl of roasted veggies and quinoa. Literally just enough time to get it. And then throw it into my bag because I had no time to eat it until after my appointment. Well worth the wait, though.
[Snack #4]
Somehow I convinced myself to hit the gym after all of my running around. Probably because I knew it was best for my sanity this week! But after the rest of the snacks from earlier, I wasn’t too hungry post-workout so I ended up grabbing the last small chicken thigh and topping it with a little ketchup. I’ll call this one #strangebutgood. I also ended up having a few baby carrots while I was prepping dinner.
[Dinner]
An actual meal! And a really tasty one at that. I used this sticky baked chicken recipe as a guide but made it with pork loin instead. I seared the pork in a skillet and tossed it into the oven, glazed it a few times, and then sliced and served. The side dish was inspired by this roasted cauliflower meuniere recipe but I decided to be lazy and nixed the egg and breadcrumbs. Oh yea, and the butter sauce. Sooo it was really roasted cauliflower with lemon-garlic sauteed kale with shallots. And it was something I’ll definitely make again!
[Snack #5]
My apple was soon followed up with some almond butter scrapings. I left just enough to top my oatmeal yesterday but it was tough to leave that much in the jar!
Life might slow down at some point in the future, but in the meantime, I’m working on getting used to being a little more prepared to be less prepared.

What’s your favorite snack?

Looks like egg white oatmeal is the breakfast meal to have. I feel like I need it for every meal… but I imagine I’d get sick of it way to quick. Plus a girl needs some greens too. Haha!
I love all those snacks! They all look so delicious, especially the roasted veggies and your dinner. Great job staying on track and getting good snacks in during a busy day!
Yum! I think snack might be my favorite meal of the day. My favorite right now are raw cashews or apples. How do you make your egg white oatmeal?
Everything looks really good. When I snack I tend to have a smoothie, maybe some popcorn:)
