Halfway through the week already. Looking forward to the long weekend, as its Canadian Thanksgiving on Sunday!
Getting back into my eating routine. Hit the gym today with a friend and did a great workout. I don’t know about you, but I find that being active gives me more of an appetite for healthier food.
Breakfast
It was the usual…some scrambled eggs (1 egg, 3-4 whites) and toast with a bit of peanut butter and honey on it…
Pre-Workout
Shortly after breakfast, it was time to get my little one off to school, and take the other to the gym. Drank my pre-workout on the way (Vega Energizer)…
Lunch
After my workout, I came home and was hungry for some lunch. Settled on some leftover chicken strips with a side of sweet chili sauce and some carrots & snap peas with this ranch dip. I talked about how I make the chicken strips in this Facebook post…
Snack
Couple hours after lunch…yep, hungry again. Had another one of the Pumpkin Spice Protein Bars. Really good, and they’ll be the next new recipe on the site!
Snack #2
After school pickup, we headed to the mall to meet some friends. Its a tradition to get frozen yogurt as a treat (she thinks its ice cream…hehe). Its a self-serve place, and I LOVE how they have some sugar-free options. 1 serving is under 100 cals, and only 3 g sugar. Nice little treat! I had a tropical orange flavored one.
Dinner
I had been craving the Dilly Lemon & Maple Chicken since I first made it. So I was happy to make it again tonight. I thawed out the chicken in the morning, and in the afternoon, I tossed it in the marinade, then baked it when we got home. Sorry this picture is a bit blurry…
Thanks for all the awesome responses, I’ll definitely be looking at this thread again! I decided on roasted broccoli with lots of garlic, some olive oil, salt & pepper, chili flakes and the juice and zest of 1 lemon. I baked it at 400 degrees for about 35 minutes. When it was still hot, I put some shaved Parmesan on top. It was so good!
Evening Snack
I haven’t had my greek yogurt for a few days, so I’ll definitely be having that with some granola on top, and maybe a few coconut chips…yum!
Enjoy your night, and I’ll see you soon with that new protein bar recipe!
