Happy Wednesday! Welcome back to another What I ate Wednesday. Hosted by Jenn over at Peas and Crayons. After a bit of a break last week to share my Christmas with you I am back with some meals from my week. Thanks goodness for Instagram. I’ve been terrible about capturing pictures of my meals lately so this week you are getting my meals from the week courtesy of my Iphone! Check it out…
Breakfasts have been simple. Almond milk yogurt and iced coffee. This almond milk yogurt is surprisingly amazing! I’ve been experimenting with giving up dairy again but have been loving yogurt lately so this was a perfect replacement. Plus it’s not packed with sugar like most other dairy free yogurts. It’s sweetened with fruit!
The only downside is there is only 3 grams of protein in it which I realized after eating my first yogurt and being hungry only an hour or two later. Lesson learned that eggs will always be my favorite breakfast.
Snacks have been simple as of late…
Banana with almond butter
Kind bar
Meals have been an attempt at getting in extra veggies to make up for the holidays…
Rice noodles, veggies, edamame, and hemp seeds
Butternut squash, roasted potatoes, and carrots.
Spaghetti squash, tomatoes, and spinach
Last but not least I have to share that Sophie started off the New Year in style yesterday! We had a great family filled day and I hope everyone else had a great start to their new year as well!
What did you do yesterday to celebrate the new year?? Any great meals you’ve had lately??

Oh my gosh, just look at Sophie! Ah, I love her little sweater. Way to adorable <3 <3
Hahaha thanks Jessie!
Awe, Sophie is the cutest all dressed up!! That spaghetti squash looks delicious! And I am totally with you on eggs for breakfast, my fave too.
Me too and they’re the only thing that ever keeps me full!
I love Sophies sweater! so adorable!
Thanks Danielle!
Sophie’s little sweater is adorable! I really want to give that yogurt a try….too bad it doesn’t have much protein. I’ve been trying to up my veggie intake too.
I know if only it had more protein it would be perfect!
I can’t believe I haven’t had spaghetti squash since last year – I need to change that!
One of my favourite recent meals was homemade pizza last night.
You totally need to change that!!
OMGOSH SOPHIE IS SO SO SO CUTE
and now my seven year old wants a sophie
Im thinking the husband is NOT IN
Hahaha well you’ll just have to convince him
I stayed in bed all day yesterday. Back in the gym this morning felt GREAT!
Awesome! Sometimes we just need some rest time!
So got me craving for butternut squash mash now! And I love edamame beans, they have such a lovely subtle crunch.
Aww I swear every time I see a photo of Sophie I swear she can’t get cuter, and then you upload another!
Aww thanks so much Anna!
OH yes…I enjoyed a burger and fries on NYE and it was tha bomb!
Sounds great Kierston!
I love Sophie’s outfit!! Yesterday we relaxed and saw Silver Linings Playbook, soo good!
Sounds perfect Kaitlin!
OMG Sophie looks so freaking cute in that sweater!
hahaha thanks Chelsa!
I’m dying over Sophie’s little sweater, such a cutie pie. I’m totally intrigued by that almond milk yogurt now! Sounds super interesting. Your meals all sound super good and nutrient packed! Wahoo. I was so lazy yesterday ha, it was awful.
Thanks Lisa! The almond milk yogurt was great. Sometimes you just need a lazy day!
Sophie <3 I spent the first day of the New Year with my family as well. Shopping followed by dinner was a pretty great way to start 2013. Happy New Year, Danielle
Happy New Year to you too! Family time is the best!
What a bummer about the almond milk yogurt. It makes sense though. Love the almond butter in the packet. Why have I never seen those!?
They’re my favorite! Perfect for packing on the go.
Omg the past two days I have had the most delicious foods, omg!! Thank you NYE & NYD for giving me an excuse to eat not just good but DELICIOUSSSSS foods!
Happy New Year Danielle!
So glad you got the excuse
Happy New Year to you too!
Hello~ I was wondering if you had any thoughts or suggestions or could help me figure some things out. I have always done strictly cardio and know have started crossfit too. I can’t quite figure out what is going on with my body, I have been really bloated lately and seem to retain water easily. Can not eating enough calories for the workouts make you retain water. I seem to eat around 1200-1300 calories a day and sometimes, I know this is bad but it may be less on random busy days. I just started reading Whole 30 book about cortisol and such and wondering if this is what is happening.
Thank you,
Heather
Many things could be going on for you Heather! Feel free to send me an email at dprestejohn@gmail.com and we can discuss some coaching options if you’re interested.
That meal with the sweet tater is so simple yet so delicious!! I love all of those foods. Seriously the best meals to me are the easiest to make with just a few simple ingredients!
I couldn’t agree more! Simple meals are the best!
Sophie looks beyond fab! Sophisticated Sophie, that’s her.
I totally drooled over that spaghetti squash pic you put up on IG. I miss spaghetti squash, I had some in Florida with fish and mixed veggies, still dreaming of that meal!
I will need to look for that brand of almond milk yogurt. Been looking for a brand to try that isn’t so high in sugars.
Hahaha aww I like that nickname for Sophie!
your dog is so adorable!
So Delicious makes an almond milk yogurt that has added pea/rice protein…i buy the plain and add a little stevia (though i’ve seen other flavors)…it’s pretty good!
I’ll have to try that one too. Thanks Heather!
That spaghetti squash looks so yummy!! I need to try it!

Thanks AJ!
awww! I love Sophie’s sweater. I tried coconut milk yogurt and almond milk yogurt for breakfast, but it left me starving!! Eggs are my favorite breakfast right now too!
Yes it tasted great but I was so hungry!
I would love to try that yogurt, especially on the days when I follow a vegan diet. It is unfortunate, however, that it does not have much protein
.
I know! If only it had the protein it would be perfect!
OMG! The sweater is adorable! Yummy eats as usual
My day yesterday was filled with cleaning up after my sick boys so my eats were few and far between with no photos. So I skipped this weeks WIAW but enjoyed reading about your healthy eats!
Oh no! Hope your boys feel better soon!
I really want to try spaghetti squash! It always looks so good but i can never seem to get my hands on any
boo hoo.
You’ll have to try it! It’s one of my favorites!
It looks like you did a great job of getting all your veggies in. I love the bowl of veggies with the noodles. The colors are fabulous, and so is your cute little doggie.
Thanks so much Meghan!
