WIAW # 5: Ready in 5. Or less.

I thought I’d take a slight break from Bordeaux [see previous days 1, 2, 3 here] and join in on some WIAW fun today :)

Peas and Crayons

[Thanks Jenn for hosting!! :) ]

Everything I ate today was basically ready in under 5 minutes. And not on purpose.

This morning I started with half a banana before heading off to my Wednesday cardio strength class, which ended up being AWESOME.

After class I chugged a pb + banana+ chocolate protein smoothie.

I used the remainder of my banana from earlier this morning, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 packet chocolate true vitality, 5 ice cubes, and 1/2 tablespoon peanut flour.

My official BREAKFAST was a waffle a la kodiak cakes.

Drizzled with manuka honey.

I don’t think I’ll ever tire of waffles. They’re just that good.

Then it was time for some school-ing…

and munching…

I may have had a few too many of these dark chocolate dipped rice cakes.
My excuse: they were mini

Then it was time for LUNCH. YAY :P

On the menu:
tuna
refried beans
corn cakes
hummus
tomatoes
avocado 

That can only mean one thing:

BUILD YOUR OWN CORN CAKES! 

Yes, i see that my lunch came out of cans, but it’s alright every once in a while. Plus the convenience is just too awesome.

I bought these corn cakes in France and love how perfectly thin they are. Perfect for piling on the toppings.

I mixed the tuna with some hummus and piled it on top of the corn cakes with some avocado and tomato slices.

Dessert was just as fantastic.

I sliced up part of an apple and banana

Added some sunbutter+almond milk

Mixed it all in and stuck it in the microwave for 20 seconds (x’s 2)

and Voila!

Okay okay, so it tastes a whole lot better than it looks. I promise!
And it’s guaranteed to satisfy that sweet tooth.

But of course I still had a couple chocolate cat cookies a little later on ;)

I ate a bazillion of these. Seriously, I don’t think I can buy them anymore.
I can’t stop eating them!

Sweet > Savory
always :)

Then DINNER!

Roasted up a diced sweet potato sprinkled with paprika, cayenne, and a touch of cinnamon in the oven
[okay this may have taken slightly more than 5 minutes - but I don't count the roasting time]

Mixed it with leftover tuna from lunch, squirted on some ketchup and mustard and it was ready.

Again, tastes a lot better than it looks!

Dessert was something that I’ve become slightly obsessed with over the past couple days.

Baked Microwaved Apples

I diced up an apple, sprinkled it with cinnamon, ginger, and a touch of paprika

Then put it in the micovwave for 30 seconds (x’s2)
Sprinkled on some almond meal.

Perfectly warm and delicious. AND tastes like fall :)

Speaking of fall…

We’re only two days away from the first day of Autumn!

So…enjoy these last couple days of summer!!

  1. wow I can’t get enough of these eats! Everything looks so tasty. I love sweet potatoes, I roasted some last night for fries. I’m going to have to try the fruit + microwave + sunbutter combo. Looks really really good. the cookie cats are a favourite from TJs. Have you tried the cinnamon ones?

  2. Tuna is my go to meal! Stuck on what to eat? Tuna. Salad looking a little skimpy? Tuna!
    Haven’t ever thought of combining with sweet potato before, yay for a new combo!

    I think waffles with manuka honey takes the cake though. Looks delish…
