Happy Sunday! I’ve got a two-part recent eats post for you. This post is focused on breakfast and lunch ideas. Lots of dinners coming for you next!
BREAKFAST
Everything bagel toasted with salted butter and cream cheese, eggs scrambled with Good Culture cottage cheese, berries and black coffee. Strawberries have been so hit or miss this season. Sometimes they’re sweet and tasty and sometimes they’re blah and tasteless. Blueberries and raspberries have been good!
Same bagel and cottage cheese scrambled egg combo and a sumo mandarin for the fruit. I am LOVING these lately. They are a splurge but 100% worth it!
Most mornings I just have a big protein smoothie for breakfast. It’s just what I wake up craving – I’ve always been more of a sweet than savory breakfast person. If I do savory, I always have to have lots of sweet fruit on the side.
Here’s my current smoothie mix:
- Bulletproof Vanilla or Unflavored Collagen Protein
- Bulletproof Interfuel Prebiotic
- A medjool date
- Chia or flax seeds
- Almond milk
- Full-fat greek plain yogurt
- Frozen fruit and veggies
- Peanut or almond butter
- Raw grass-fed whey protein powder (this one or this one)
LUNCH
Spinach and arugula topped with a 7-grain blend (one of those microwavable pouches), deli chicken, hardboiled egg, avocado, blueberries, nuts (almonds, pecans and pistachios), dried cranberries, strawberries, feta and poppyseed vinaigrette.
Mixed greens, feta, deli turkey, avocado, chickpeas, carrots, hearts of palm, apples, tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette.
Everything bagel with butter, cream cheese and avocado, hardboiled eggs and apple slices.
Pressed wrap with mayo, avocado, muenster cheese, deli chicken, thinly sliced apples and spinach/arugula. I pressed in a skillet to toast and warm it and served with honey mustard dipping sauce (just a mix of plain greek yogurt, mayo, dijon, honey and a squeeze of lemon juice).
Here’s a look before wrapping it up. I added a little smear of apple butter on this one and used pepper jack instead of muenster. I posted a perfect pressed wrap tutorial back in 2015 – check out the post!
Car lunch between training 5 clients in the morning and an afternoon hair appointment. I swung into Reid’s and grabbed this chicken salad and pimento cheese tray.
Still can’t go wrong with a PBJ! 🙂
Mixed greens, radishes, carrots, feta, turkey, apples, pickled beets, pepitas, dried cranberries, avocado and sesame dressing (from Trader Joe’s).
Avocado toast on sourdough, hardboiled eggs, pickle and apples.
Can of Amy’s Organic French Country Vegetable soup and a sumo mandarin. The Amy’s soups with beans and lentils are really filling and have a lot of veggies!
Mixed greens, romaine, deli turkey, strawberries, toasted pecans, feta, dried cranberries, chickpeas, avocado and apples with a mix of balsamic vinaigrette and sesame dressing .
My favorite toasty turkey sandwich with mayo, spicy mustard, avocado, bread and butter pickles and colby jack cheese. A pickle and strawberries and mangos on the side.
Dinner will be served in the next post! 🙂
QUESTIONS
Do you like fruit on your salads?
Any other daily smoothie drinkers? What time of day do you have yours?
Favorite smoothie add-ins?
I switch to a salad with baby greens for summer lunch, and add lots of strawberries. I generally eat the same thing every day – that’s what is easiest for me, and helps to keep me on track nutrition-wise. I’ve mentioned I’ve been following you for yrs, and it was your posts about what you were eating that really inspired me to be more healthy. I’m very grateful for that. Thanks for sharing your meals!
