What I Ate Wednesday

Welcome! I just want to preface this by saying this is what I ate on a day that I ran 4 miles, lifted weights for an hour, and spent the afternoon at work. Everyone is different, so eat based on YOUR own needs. Hopefully, this is a helpful example for someone looking to see that it is MORE than possible to be an active vegan runner.

Break-fast

Is it chia pudding? Overnight oats? Zoats? Yogurt bowl? Who knows! It’s sort of a combination of all of the super yummy breakfast foods we all know and love. Oats, chia seeds, shredded zucchini, vanilla bean cashew yogurt, mango, banana, and sunflower seed butter!

Snack

I had a few (3) of these homemade fig newton energy balls. Basically dried figs, oats, and walnut butter. Literally, 3 ingredients and they take 5 minutes to make. Warning: they will not last long!

Lunch

I had work today so I packed a lunch in my Planet Box! First off, I made sprouted brown rice with cilantro and lime, oil-free baked sriracha tofu, black beans, pico de gallo, avocado with lime juice (to prevent browning), and underneath all of that is some steamed broccoli and cauliflower.

Snack

I also packed a snack for work: strawberries and some mango ginger herbal tea. Enough said.

Dinner

Dinner is the usual: the BEST vegan chili ever and a “side” of avocado toast. Is it still a side if it’s half of your meal?! LOL, whoops.

Dessert

Surprise! One mango with breakfast wasn’t enough so I had another one after dinner. Just cherishing mangos while they are in season!
