Breakfast
I’m still on a smoothie kick…
This one was filled with 2 pears, blueberries, zucchini, stevia, and vanilla hemp milk. Simple, but delicious!
Snack
A little while later, I snacked on some cantaloupe.
I like to just cut the fruit in half and scoop the flesh out with a spoon!
Lunch
I tried a different salad on this particular day….
…I shredded some Brussels sprouts and mixed them with some pumpkin seeds, chopped apple, and my Date Dijon dressing. The acidity in the dressing is still a bit off, but I plan on posting it when I get it just right. 😀
Snack
One of my favorite things to eat is this berry bowl. I mix yogurt, milk (sometimes, I just use all milk as I don’t tolerate a lot of dairy very well), frozen blueberries, frozen raspberries, raw honey, and stevia. The frozen berries make the consistency slushy-like, which I love. This has become one of my favorite (healthy) treats!
Dinner
I made my Eggplant Quesadillas for dinner using the black bean option. These are just delicious! The eggplant has a bread-like quality that makes it a great substitute for tortillas.
Dessert
I’ve been working on a new chocolate bar recipe. I don’t especially care for the taste of honey or maple syrup in homemade chocolate, so I’ve been making a syrup from coconut sugar and water and using that instead. It takes a little extra work, but it’s worth it. 😀
What’s the best thing you’ve eaten this week?

I’d love to hear more about the date dijon dressing . . . sounds delicious! Since we found out Bob is gluten intolerant, I’ve been trying to be creative with bread substitutes. I wonder if he’d like the eggplant in place of tortillas (we usually would use flour, since neither of us cares for corn that much). I should give it a try–but it might be a stretch as he doesn’t like eggplant when it’s included in other recipes.

It’s good when paired with the filling, but I doubt he’d like it on its own…Trader Joe’s has a great rice bread that my husband enjoys! I think it’s by Food for Life. 😀

the frozen berry mix sounds great! you could use full fat coconut milk instead of reg. milk and yogurt. i may have to try that today! the other day i threw some fresh blueberries in some whip cream… YUM!
Sloane @ SIF
Those eggplant quesadillas look beyond amazing. I have an eggplant in the refrigerator just begging to be used! Thanks for the idea 🙂
Have a great week!
Anna @ Your Healthy Place
Looks like a delicious day of eats. Love the idea of a coconut sugar-based syrup, that’s very smart!! As for that salad, yum! Do you steam the brussels first or just shred them raw?
Lauren
I just ate them raw, coleslaw-style. 😀

I really like the idea of almost everything you ate in this post. I especially like the idea of the Brussels sprouts salad, and I’ll be interested to see the dressing when you get tweaked right. One of our favorite snacks is frozen mixed berries with Greek yogurt, but I can see where mixing the berries with almond milk (what I would use) would be a nice combo. I’ll probably stay with the Greek yogurt, though, because of the protein content. I’m also interested in the chocolate bar; life without chocolate really isn’t the best.

Im into juice fasting and the smoothie kick looks like a good recipe.
teesha
could we get the recipe to the date dijon dressing please??? 🙂
Lauren
Haha, it still needs a little tweaking, but I’m working on it! 😀
Davida @The Healthy Maven
that salad looks awesome!
Amy @ The Little Honey Bee
Eggplant quesadillas?! What a fabulous idea!
Lori
Cannot wait for you to post your date Dijon dressing – triple D! 😀 It sounds great & different. I eat a lot of salads & haven’t found many dressings I like.
Also intrigued by your chocolate bar recipe – BIG chocolate fan here!
I could totally go for your snack right now!
