Peas and Crayons
Breakfast, 8 am:

Cinnamon roll overnight oats: oats, almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla stevia, currants, vanilla protein powder, chia, and flax, all with the last bit of greek yogurt.  Similar to the cookie dough overnight oats with protein powder instead of peanut flour.  Recycled photo from another batch:

Lunch, 12:30 pm:

Pita Pit Black Bean burger salad – guac, chipolte BBQ, sprouts, mushrooms, onions, spinach, green peppers, red peppers, romaine

Dinner, 6 pm:

One pot Mac & Cheese, party style – with mushrooms, red pepper, shallots, and a huge side of broccoli.  4 cheeses in this one!  So delicious.

My day in snacking: Some healthy, some not so healthy.  Did you know they make chocolate twizzlers now?!

I’m happy when my healthy choices outweigh the not-so-healthy – everything in moderation, right?  And of course this was a bedtime snack:

Raisin Almond Crunch, RIP.

    Chocolate twizzlers!? WHAT!? hahaha. That’s crazy!

    I just drool over the sounds of your overnight oats! I think I even like this flavour better than that cookie dough one! I have been trying to switch up my breakfasts lately, so I think tomorrow I shall try this one!?

    That pita pit black bean salad is my favorite! The mac & cheese sounds amazing too – I’d do anything for a warm bowl of that right now!

    Love Grown Foods…AHH I miss that nighttime snack since my bags ran out!

    Cheese balls, omg. My childhood LOVE. I want one NOW.

    I hate twizzlers so I’ve gotta say that choc twizzler sounds gross to me haha. Even if it’s chocolate, I can’t get past that texture!

    That black bean burger looks suuuuper yum.

    Mmm…your one pot mac n’ cheese looks amazing. How could something containing FOUR cheeses not be?! I need to make this. :)

    Do I spy cheese balls too? Those were my favorite snack when I was little!

    I love overnight oats, but I always stick to the same combination. The two that you talked about sound great…I want to mix up my normal routine and try them!

    Cinnamon roll overnight oats?! WOW! I have got to try that.
    I also LOVE TJ’s greek yogurt. It’s my favorite (the 2% is awesome).
