Breakfast
This week, I've become obsessed with oat bran...
After reading up on the benefits of it, including more fiber and nutrients, I wanted to start incorporating it into my diet, and these delicious pancakes have been a great way to do that.
Made with just eggs, yogurt, oat bran, vanilla, and cinnamon, these sugar-free cakes have made each morning a little brighter for me. I like to top them with some coconut oil and a sprinkle of sea salt.
Lunch
For lunch, I used my Homemade Spelt Tortillas and a new black bean hummus to make a delicious wrap.
My husband and I were foodgasm-ing over how awesome these were. In addition to the hummus, I added grated carrot, cucumbers, red onion, raw cheddar cheese, and spinach.
Lots of fruit this week, mainly in the form of Pink Lady apples and green pears. I think I ate six apples one day!
Dinner
I had a great run (on the treadmill, but still...) this day and came home craving a good vegan dinner...
Oven-baked eggplant slices (a current favorite!) alongside a quinoa pilaf of sorts. Aside from the quinoa, the pilaf included chopped snow peas, tomatoes, and fresh basil. I dressed it all with a bit of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and lots of fresh black pepper.
Dessert
I made some mini coconut/pumpkin seed treats this week, which were a play off of a sweeter peanut butter version I'd created in the past. Again, in trying to keep my diet really low in sugar, I only added in a bit of raw honey to the base and used a carob/coconut oil/stevia-sweetened topping. They were a great end to the night!
What have you been eating this week?

How to you make your eggplant? Do you have a recipe for your pancakes? I've been eating smoothies lately. And my daily oatmeal and blueberries for breakfast is always a given.

For the eggplant, I just brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle on a bit of S&P, then bake them for about 20-ish minutes until they're browning. I'm hoping to get the pancake recipe up by Friday or next week! 🙂
Beth

This week has been a little different because I'm trying out the 21 day fix! Clean eating in small portions with lots of lean protein. It's going great so far!

What have I been eating this??? Mostly juices and smoothies. It's so hot outside I don't feel like eating solid food much!
