This morning I was tired and did not make it to the gym. I guess going to bed a little later really takes its toll. My tummy also was not feeling great this morning either(the last 2 days haven’t been great), so I wanted the rest and something light for breakfast.
I decided on a slice of millet toast with cacao bliss and raspberry jam and a new yogurt.
I really love this combo on my toast. It might not be the best for breakfast, but it would be perfect for a dessert or post workout snack.
The yogurt was delicious! It is Chobani Champions Honeynana from their kids line of greek yogurt.
They come in 4 packs and each yogurt contains 4 ounces, perfect for a little treat. The yogurt was sweeter than I expected, but I still really liked the flavor. The honeynana comes with chocolate (which I am dying to try!). They also have mixed berry and straw-bana.
I feel like I ate multiple mini-meals (aka snacks) all afternoon instead of eating one substantial meal. Around 11:00, I started with a yogurt, cereal and banana.
Chobani Raspberry, Uncle Sam Cereal, Banana
All mixed up. I could eat this combination everyday.
Then, around 12:30, I felt hungry again, but not for anything healthy. My tummy was still a little off. I wanted carbs. I wanted a cookie! So, I trekked down to Barnes and Nobles and participated in Tina’s Cookie Friday. Normally, I stay away from all unhealthy treats during the day because I know that I will inevitable crave something sweet after dinner, but today’s I just couldn’t wait.
So, I had some of this.
A pumpkin chocolate chip muffin! I only ate the top, and it hit the spot.
But, that’s not it. Around 2:30, I craved something healthy (does this happen to anyone after eating an unhealthy treat??). Luckily, I brought some celery (for green!), peanut butter and raisins for a snack.
And, I made my favorite healthy snack as a kid (although, I’m pretty sure I didn’t know the difference between junk food and health food back then) – ants on a log!!
Phew! I finally feel full and satisfied.
This is why good, healthy, satisfying meals are a great thing to eat. But, I just wasn’t feeling it today!
