More on my repeat offense in a minute. 
This morning started out like many others, with a delicious bowl of vegan overnight oats.
Yummy in my tummy. 
This edition contained oats, chia seeds, chocolate brown rice protein powder, mashed banana, raisins, walnuts, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, almond milk, and a dollop of Peanut Butter and Co.’s Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Peanut Butter. Perfect cold and satisfying breakfast on a hot summer morning.
Another perfect way to start the day? This little girl:
She’s the best!
Once at work, I finished this from yesterday:
And had one of these:
O.N.E. Coconut Water might as well be crack. I’m officially addicted.
It’s baaaaaaack!!!
I just had to! Lunchtime rolled around and all I could think about was this little slice of vegan heaven. This time I skipped the cold bar and headed straight to Cafe Life.
After scanning over the menu for several minutes, I finally decided on the Organic Garden Sandwich.
It contained Everything Seed Bread (sunflower, flax, poppy, sesame, fennel, celery, and dill seeds, garlic powder, sea salt), spread with sun-dried tomato hummus, topped with cucumbers, red onions, alfalfa sprouts. I had them add avocado to the sandwich, and it came with a side salad.
Check out this beaut:
It was absolutely wonderful. I’m pretty sure the “bread” was raw. It was so nutty, soft, and flavorful. Loved it. What am I going to choose for lunch there next week tomorrow?
After work, I ran my planned 6 miles. Mark and I were going to go to a Braves game tonight, but we both have so much to do that we decided it wasn’t the best night. As a result, I ran this afternoon, instead of at 6 A.M. I didn’t feel great the entire run, but I got it done.
The run actually went by really fast, because the whole time I was going over lines for the play in my head. I’m sure many fellow trail runners now think I’m legally insane since it looked like I was talking to myself. Well, I guess I kinda was.
My running goals for the rest of the week? Run 3 easy miles on Friday and 12 miles on Saturday morning. I got this.
When I got home, I whipped up the usual post run recovery beverage: a Green Monsta!
This gorgeous green mix included spinach, unsweetened coconut flakes, wheat germ, frozen banana, ice, almond milk, and honey. Heck yeah!
Mark and I are both so tired, we decided smoothie bowls were mandatory for dinner.
Plus, a little treat I picked up this afternoon from Life Grocery.
This cookie is healthy VEGAN, too! Yay!
It was also delish! The cookie monster also thought so.
I’m off to bed. Marketing meeting at 7:30 A.M. Sweet dreams!!!!
That sandwich looks wonderful!
Nutritious AND delicious. My FAVORITE combo.
The Green Monster looked very interesting so I decided to brave-it-up and try one. Wow, what a great smoothie. I had the one with oatmeal and was surprised at how creamy it was. I am trying to kick the dairy habit so I added some molasses to try to build up my calcium intake. Since I added the molasses, I then had to add vanilla (it was a bit too molassasy). What a drink! Scott thinks it’s weird but he hasn’t even tried it. Anyways, thank. I will be looking for some more yummy recipes so keep them coming girly!
Yay! Glad YOU’RE enjoying G.M.s, even though Scott’s not!
They’re sooooo good!!
That sandwich looks incredible!
Trust me, it was!
