WIAW: The Green Monster

Wake-y Wake-y!

Kenya smell it? Yeah, that right there. You know what that is?

No no, it’s not the crisp, cool air of a season changing, a day beginning, a dawn breaking.

It’s the scent you get when you crack open a fresh can of WIAW first thing in the morning.

And maybe coffee. Actually, I’m positive it’s coffee.

Breakfast:

After waking up earlier than my alarm after going to bed LATER than usual, I decided it was the right time to straighten my hair for the first time in probably 4 months. No matter how many times it tries to persuade you, humidity is NOT your friend.

But breakfast…breakfast definitely is your friend. Like BFF-style. Breakfast 4 Lyfe.

Spinach & mushroom frittata topped with guac & green drink [ spinach, green tea, Myprotein Nutrigreens, chia seeds]

Now this isn’t the first time the green machine has taken over WIAW. It all goes back to my motto, “Eat something green at every meal”

….and mint chocolate chip ice cream doesn’t count. 🙂

Lunch

The madness didn’t stop at breakfast though.

Tofu & green bean stir fry leftovers // steamed carrots & guac

Maybe my meals are trying to hint at what I should be for Halloween this year.

Frankenstein.

The Green Goblin.

A Green Smoothie.

I’ve always wanted to be a sexy glass of spirulina and almond milk for Halloween.

 

Snack

A late afternoon snack was eaten in my car before one of my nutritious classes with the kiddos, and right after I got my first parking ticket. Womp. Womp.

I seriously couldn’t even plan this many green foods in a day if I like really tried. It’s like the universe is telling me all my food is jealous of me.

..and if you didn’t catch that Amy Schumer reference, you need to watch this first.

Dinner

After enjoying one of the veggie English muffin pizzas we made in class, I wasn’t as arm-gnawing ravenously hungry as usual when I got home, so eventually pulled together something resembling a meal.

A tuna “melt” with guac on cinnamon raisin bread because I’m weird, and unmelted cheese because I hate the texture…and I’m double weird. Alongside some pepper strips and Dijon, well because I needed something green. You can’t go all day on the green gravy train, and not follow through.

Thanks for hosting Jenn!

If you could only eat foods of all one color, which would you choose? Brown because of PB and Coffee!

What’s one thing you try to eat at every meal?
