Happy Wednesday! Welcome back to another What I ate Wednesday! Hosted by Jenn over at Peas and Crayons. This month is about loving our veggies so what a great excuse to get in more vegetables. Here are some of my favorite meals from the past week!
Recipe will be up soon!
Whey protein and chocolate Zico.
Lately I’ve been on a salad kick with lots of fruit in them for lunches.
Baby spinach, strawberries, oranges, quinoa, and almonds.
Spinach, grapefruit, and chicken. Sweet potato fries on the side.
Kind Bar for Snacks.
Quinoa, tomatoes, spinach, and turkey.
And gluten free beef stew to warm me up!
In other news we’re still facing piles of snow in Boston and I’m not thrilled about it!
At least one of us is ready for the cold!
Happy Wednesday! What’s the best veggie packed meal you’ve eaten this week???

Oh these muffins and the sweet potato fries look so good! And I am jealous on Sophie’s happiness about the snow. I can not stand it anymore – how many days until summer again – or at least spring?
Me neither Lucie! I am going crazy with this cold weather! I want the sunshine!
Aww, Sophie always makes me smile to my ears!
And of all your foods I’d pick the beef stew! I’m freezing lately here.
I’m a fan of all vegetables. Anything works for me. Just love that crunch. However anything with avocado is the best combination. So here I picked – avocado salads!
I’ve been freezing too so I’m trying to go for warm and filling foods!
I made a monster salad the other night that combined raw and roasted veggies . . . it was so good! The two textures/temperatures of the food made it really satisfying.
I love adding cooked veggies in my salads! Something about it makes it more satisfying to me!
I was just thinking last night that I need to make more salads. Not boring salads though. I was thinking of massaged kale and mandarine oranges… Something like that. What do you think of the chocolate Zico?
Sounds amazing! I love adding fruit in my salads! I love the chocolate zico. I don’t have it all the time cause of the sugar but every once in a while I’ll get it! It reminds me of chocolate milk lol!
I can’t wait to try those muffins! Fruit makes in salad better, in my opinion and Kind bars are awesome! Happy WIAW, Danielle!
I totally agree! I always put fruit in my salads!
hehe sophie’s so cute! itz funny cuz since zoey is black she sticks out like a sore thumb in the snow and sophie blends in!
That’s so perfect! Sophie definitely blends in a bit!
Way to tease us with those muffins… no cool, Ha Ha
My dinner last night was pretty awesome, and full of vegetables.
Hahaha sorry girl! Recipe will be up soon!
I am excited for the protein muffin recipe. That sounds like a perfect quick and easy breakfast or snack recipe!
My most veggie-ful meal this week was spaghetti squash “pasta” with sauce, zucchini, broccoli, peppers, and onions, and butternut squash on the side…veggie overload?? Never!
All your quinoa meals look so good. I need to start using quinoa a bit more but I get impatient with how long it takes to cook!
Awww I just adore Sophie, she’s so cute. Our dog loves the snow and just bounds through it like a crazy pooch. I love Sophie’s little jacket as well, bless her.
I always cook a big batch of quinoa on Sunday so that I don’t have to cook it during the week
Every meal is packed with veggie pretty much
I’m doing good!
That’s awesome!
come on summer!!! Apparently we are supposed to get more snow tonight!!
Oh no! That is so sad! Where’s spring?!
i want summer too! I can’t wait! The other day i tried a “Veggie chili” recipe, it was a vegan chili that looked a bit like a soup and it was SO delicious! I’m definitely going to try this again!
That sounds so awesome! Definitely a great meal!
that stew looks like it’d make me feel so warm and cozy
)
It definitely did that for me!
I’ve been doing way better with veggies this week since I’ve been trying to base all of our dinners around greens — “power bowls”!!
Sounds awesome! Great way to get in those greens!
Yum, muffins. Can’t wait for that recipe! I’ve been so obsessed with them lately.
Best veggie packed meal? Hm, it has to be either kabocha (I’m seriously obsessed) or soup!
Me too such a quick and easy breakfast!
the sweater is adorable. I love how your meal prep really shows in that you have such fresh meals daily that look so freaking good
Thanks so much Alex!
Eek! Your delicious looking veggie meals put me to shame – my diet has been seriously lacking in the veggie department lately, but I blame that on winter and the fact that my stomach doesn’t like them. I still try to get in a salad every day, but calling it a salad is being pretty generous because, really, it’s just a bunch of basic veggies thrown together in a bowl
It’s all about finding a balance that works for you! I’m not the biggest veggie fan myself!
=O I haven’t seen Kind Bars with chocolate yet!!!
They’re really good!
I would love a protein egg muffin RIGHT now! LOL!
i love them
Yum to all of your eats! I love adding quinoa to soups and stews, makes it super thick and satisfying! And your pup is super cute
That’s such a great idea! I’ve been on such a big quinoa kick lately!
Happy Wednesday!
Wow, those EATS look SO Good!
Love your lil doggy too-awww.
Thanks so much!
I haven’t tried chocolate coconut water yet! How do you like it?
Your beef stew looks so good – that’s such a comforting winter meal!
The best veggie-packed meal I had this week was pork tenderloin with a beet and carrot wheatberry salad and massaged kale on the side!
The coconut water is great! I love it!
Your food always looks so good! I can’t wait for that muffin recipe!
Thanks so much Brittany!
salads are the best! and sweet potato fries. and I really want to try to Kind bars too!
Definitely try them Alysia! They’re one of my favorites!
Ooh, what are your thoughts about chocolate Zico? I’ve been thinking about buying a carton, but always chicken out because I’m not a huge fan of the plain flavor. I tend to love chocolate everything, though, so I’m guessing I’d probably love it.
The best veggie-packed meal was probably my dinner tonight. I made an egg scramble with mushrooms, spinach, garlic and goat cheese, and enjoyed a baked sweet potato and an arugula/truffle oil salad alongside it. I think I may have packed four servings of vegetables onto my plate!
I don’t love the plain coconut water either but the chocolate is amazing! Definitely give it a try!
