Health 101 : What I ate on Tuesday

Hey girls, 

Here are pictures of each meal I prepared and ate on Tuesday. I hope you enjoy! :)
*With each meal I drink water, unless otherwise noted*

Breakfast:

I had to work this morning so I knew I needed a breakfast that would fill me up and give me the energy I needed to work hard and be on my feet for a few hours. I knew this oatmeal and smoothie drink would do just that! The Bolthouse Farms drinks are some of my favorite and when I saw these smoothie ones I fell in love! They have real strawberries, whole grains, and creamy yogurt inside one bottle! With 21 vitamins and minerals and 10g of protein this smoothie is the perfect start to my busy day :)

1 serving of Oat Fit with flax seed in Maple Brown Sugar ( 100 calories )

Bolthouse Farms Strawberry Parfait Breakfast Smoothie ( 190 calories )

Total : 290 calories

Lunch:
After work I came home and cleaned up a bit and organized our closet. Then I decided to make something light, yet filling for lunch. I created my own "BLT" pita, minus the bacon of course. I spread a very light layer of cream cheese on one side of the pita then filled it with fresh organic romain and organic tomatos. Then I steamed some yellow and orange carrots, cauliflower, and cranberries and my lunch was complete!

Yum!

I thought these pictures caught the yumminess very well ;)

Pre-workout snack:
I wanted to eat something light, healthy, but energizing before a good cardio workout. I decided to make one of my favorite snacks as a child, "ants on a log." Instead of adding raisins I just used peanut butter and then had an apple on the side. It was tasty and not terribly filling and I had a good boost of energy :)

I just love my fish cutting board from my mom, how cute!?

mmm :)

Organic celery ( 2 calories )

Organic apple ( 50 calories )

Total: 52 calories

Dinner:

After my workout (over an hour of cardio) I came home and showered, went to visit my grandma, did some studying, and then decided to have some dinner. I just love my white square dishes that my mom bought me a couple of years ago. They make platting food so much fun because you can really see the bright colors. I love having a bright plate :) I decided on a small fresh romain salad with sliced strawberries and sliced almonds, a handful of baby carrots, some steamed broccoli, fresh grapes, and a rice cake! It was delicious and not terribly filling but I was fine with it. I wasn't hungry later in the night and I was very satisfied :)

look at that colorful plate! :)
