open-faced tuna melt

Posted on August 10, 2010 by Jen

It was hot and humid in Boston again this morning, but tonight it was perfect!!

Sorry that I have been a little MIA lately. I needed a little break, but am hoping to get back into it soon.

This morning, I munched on a small bowl of Puffins, then whipped up a smoothie to bring with me to work. I kept it simple today and it tasted delicious.

In the mix:

1 frozen banana
1/2 cup frozen pineapple
1/2 cup frozen cherries
1/4 cup hemp protein powder
1 tbsp hemp seeds
1 tbsp pepitas
1 cup unsweetened almond milk

It was cool and creamy. Perfect for a toasty morning!

We have not been doing the best with grocery shopping the past few weeks due to being away a lot, so my meals have been very sub-par, hence the lack of blogging. Today, I seemed to make due for lunch, though.

Cherries

Yogurt with Granola

It seemed to fill me up and was just as satisfying.

After work, I snacked on a small portion of oatmeal, then hit the road for a run. It felt so good to run, even though it was HOT! I filled a water bottle with 1/2 water, 1/2 pineapple coconut water to drink on my run.

I ran for about an hour, did 25 minutes of arm weights, then made a super quick dinner because I was famished.

Tuna Melt on Quinoa Bread

I mixed up my tuna fish with a little greek yogurt, mustard, celery seed and sliced pickles. Scooped some on to my bread, sprinkled it with cheddar cheese and toasted my open-faced sandwich until the cheese was melted.
