Happy Wednesday! Welcome back to another What I ate Wednesday! Hosted by Jenn over at Peas and Crayons!
Breakfast is back to the usual:
Eggs in coconut oil. Excuse the ugly paper plate.
Pre WOD snack of apple slices with cinnamon and apple juice sweetened cranberries.
I’ve been traveling with this bag of chopped organic carrot sticks in my bag. Quick and easy snack.
Lunches and dinners have been veggie packed too…
Lentils, spinach, and organic roasted potatoes.
Sweet potato veggie and black bean soup. Recipe coming soon.
Eggs and kale with organic grass fed butter.
Roasted veggie bowl with chili powder, red pepper flakes, and hemp seeds.
And just because you haven’t seen her in a while here’s Sophie! She’s getting so big!
Happy Wednesday! Looking for tips! What’s your favorite way to eat your leafy greens? No matter what I try I just don’t love them!

Everything looks so good as always! I love spinach in eggs. My favorite! And I love Sophie, she’s SO cute!!
Aww thanks Lucie!
I guess I’m a bit boring with leafy greens….90% of the time I just use them as a salad base. Otherwise, for kale I’ll make a massaged salad (changes the texture a bit and tastes great–there’s a recipe on my blog), or kale chips if I want something crunchy. Every once in a while, I’ll saute kale or Swiss chard directly into a red sauce or Indian type dish, or after sautéing it with a little lemon juice and pepper, top it with some fish.
I do like kale chips! That kale with lemon juice and pepper sounds great too! Thanks for the tips!
I never used hemp seeds before but I have a million sample packs laying around my house! I definitely need to get on that! Sophie is adorable. Her and Hunter would get along so well! They are both white and fluffy! (:
Definitely try them you will love them! I wish we lived closer for a puppy playdate
eggs & coco oil – thats me right now! wooop wooop its seriosuly the best combo ever and i love when they get all burnt fried at the bottom
Me too! Love the combination of the two!
The sweet potato veggie and black bean soup sounds delic- all lot of my favorites in one hearty bowl, yum! I’ve always liked fruits and veggies, strange but true, so a big salad bowl is one of my favorite ways to eat leafy greens… But my hubby doesn’t agree as much so about once a week I’ll make a batch of sauteed spinach + bell peppers + onions + chicken sausage that he has no problem scarfing down
That sauteed spinach and chicken sausage mix sounds great! Spinach is actually my favorite leafy green!
I love topping my leafy greens with nutritional yeast!
I have yet to try that! Thanks for the tip!
Girl, compared to me you’re eating a tonne of veggies
I’m having serious issues getting them in, but they tend to upset my stomach if I eat too many so I blame it on that. And for leafy greens, I usually just use them in a salad, but you can try putting them into a smoothie?
I definitely take advantage of putting greens in my smoothie! Totally hides the taste!
That sweet potato and black bean soup looks so good – that’s one of my favourite flavour pairings!
I like to eat kale as massaged salads! I have a recipe for one massaged with olive oil and balsamic vinegar on my blog. I also like to use it in stir fries and frittatas!
I’ll have to check out your recipe!
I just adore photos of Sophie! She’s such a little cutie pie
Aww thanks Jessie!
Can’t wait for the recipe for that soup. Sounds divine!
Thanks Katie! It will be up next week!
i see lots of veggies! looks like you are doing a great job to me
Thanks Jess!
sophie is getting so big!!! Brady says “how you doing sophie?”
Hahaha aww Sophie says hello!
Sweet Potato soup???? Please do share! I love soups
It will be up next week! It is perfect for this cold weather!
Looks like you’re doing pretty good with getting the veggies in! I need to take me a baggie full of carrot slices to snack. I like to increase my green intake by finely chopping up spinach and adding it to my scrambled or egg omelet in the morning…..or even for dinner.
That’s a great idea! I love spinach and eggs together!
I love roasting them in the oven!!!
Roasted veggies are my favorite!
She is getting so big!! Sophie is the cutest! Your sweet potato and black bean soup looks amazing! I think you’re doing great with the veggies! I’m always roasting mine, since I find they taste magical that way. Especially in some coconut oil d nutritional yeast. Yum!
I love roasted veggies too! I really need to try nutritional yeast though. I keep hearing great things about it!
I love all oyur eggs! I could est them every meal.
My favorite way to get greens… wither in a spicy soup or blended into a smoothie/ice cream creation. You can taste spinach at all!
I love them in a smoothie! In a spicy soup sounds awesome too. I hope you have a recipe for that on your blog. Sounds amazing!
What a sweet pup! Your meals look so balanced. I need to focus more on that
Thanks Kristen! I’m trying to balance them out more. If I had it my way it would be carbs all day long
There are way too many good-looking meals in this post to comment on them all!
But your dinner with lentils, spinach, and roasted potatoes looks to die for! I cannot wait to see your recipe for the sweet potato veggie and black bean soup. As if I need more sweet potatoes in my life… 
Thanks Hannah! Recipe will be up next week!
I want all of your food!!! I stir my spinach into my soups, cook it in eggs, and throw it in smoothies. I rarely eat a salad in the colder months!
I’m not the biggest salad fan either! I’ve been loving veggies in soups lately though!
that roasted veggie bowl looks awesome! I’m gonna try to roast some butternut squash for the first time this weekend, can’t wait (hope i’ll like it)! And awww Sophie is sooo cute!!
Thanks Nadja! You will love the roasted butternut squash!
that sweet potato soup looks INCREDIBLE!!!!!
Thanks so much Anne!
This is going to sound gross and may even turn in you off more but… I LOVE spinach and ketchup lol!!! I just grab a raw bunch of spinach, squirt ketchup (sugar free, of course) on the bunch and shove it in my mouth!!! I eat like a whole one pound bag of spinach in a sitting that way… And I am also getting nutrients through the ketchup too!
Hahaha that’s too funny! Unfortunately I don’t like ketchup otherwise sounds like the perfect way to mask the greens
I love to eat them sauteed with garlic and olive oil! Spinach is my favorite, but I enjoy kale, too!
Spinach is my favorite too!
I’d say you met your veggie quota for the day. It all looks fantastic especially the roasted veggie bowl.
Sophie is adorbale too.
Thanks Meghan!
I love that we both usually start our days with eggs + coconut butter. Great minds think alike?
I think so
Great way to start the day!
