What I Eat in a Day

If you follow my on Instagram, you’ve probably seen me share ‘what i eat in a day’ on my stories a few times, as well as lots of random meals! I know screenshotted stories get lost in the camera roll, and I can never add as much detail as I want, so I thought I would put a day’s worth of meals into a blog post for easier reading, pinning, etc.! I personally love seeing what other people are eating because it gives me fresh ideas, so hopefully this is helpful!

Always keep in mind that I’m showing you a good day where all of my meals were made at home! Not all days are this ideal, and that’s okay! But, these meals are accurate for things I love to make at home, which is the majority of my meals.

PRE-BREAKFAST

warm lemon water + ginger + cayenne

So, this technically isn’t something I ate, but I wanted to include it because warm lemon water is a daily pre-breakfast staple for me! I like to mix it up and drink it different ways, but lately I’m really enjoying it with some freshly grated ginger and a sprinkle of cayenne. This adds some spiciness, and ginger is a mazing for digestion.

BREAKFAST

I love to start my day with a nutrient packed meal to kick things off on a good note, and I always try to include some protein and healthy fats.

Coconut Yogurt Bowl

Unsweetened coconut yogurt
A few drops of liquid stevia
Organic blueberries
Cacao nibs (antioxidants)
Shredded coconut (adds yummy flavor and texture)
Chia seeds (a great source of fiber)
Hemp seeds (an excellent healthy fat)
Cinnamon

+

2 chicken breakfast sausage links (w/ hot sauce)

LUNCH

This veggie bowl with a couple of eggs on top is one of my very favorite meals! I love it for breakfast, lunch or dinner and between the veggies, healthy fat and protein, I find it to be really filling! It’s also such a delicious way to pack in quite a few veggies. This veggie saute makes two meals for me and when I reheat my veggies for meal two I fry up a couple more eggs!

Veggie Bowl Topped with Two Eggs

Coconut oil
Veggies of your choice!
I usually do an onion, bell pepper, zucchini, carton of mushrooms and a few handfuls of kale. Tomatoes, sweet potatoes and potatoes would all be excellent in there as well.
Seasonings of choice (I like salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes)
Fry, poach or soft boil 1-2 eggs and serve on top of your veggie bowl. A bit of runny egg yolk is delicious on the veggie hash!
I also top with some hot sauce!

SNACK

small handful of raw cashews

On this particular day I didn’t end up being super hungry between meals and was able to cook dinner fairly early, so I just had a tiny snack. Some days I have to cook dinner later in the evening or just have more of an appetite, so I just approach snacking intuitively and listen to what my body needs that day.

DINNER

Since I don’t eat gluten, I love using cauliflower crust to get my pizza fix! I’ve been experimenting with different recipes, and this was my first time making a pesto pizza. It was delicious and I enjoyed experimenting a bit!

Caulipower cauliflower pizza crust
Vegan/dairy free pesto
Diced onion
Sliced mushrooms
Artichoke hearts
Diced tomato
Bacon
Arugula
Topped with red pepper flakes and cracked sea salt + black pepper

If you eat dairy, you can of course use a regular pesto, and also top your pie with some cheese! My vote would be some crumbled feta (which I miss, very much).

DESSERT

Gluten + dairy free banana bread cookies

I don’t have a huge sweet tooth and try to limit sweets as much as possible, but I made a batch of these healthy banana bread cookies, and of course had to have a couple! I love that the ingredients are simple and wholesome, but the cookies are truly such a treat - you must try!
