A pattern of eating well makes life so much easier—you know what I mean? You’re in a routine, there are less choices to make throughout the day, and you feel more confident. That being said, healthy eating can get so monotonous. That’s one of the reasons I change up what I’m eating by season. It helps keep food a little more fun by way of exploration!
You guys love when I share my meals on Instagram (see the “Healthy Eats” highlight), so here’s what I eat in a day—fall edition.
What I Eat in a Day this Fall
6:00AM Coffee
Vanilla or hazelnut nespresso with cream
9:00AM Breakfast
I have a smoothie EVERY day. 1/2 frozen banana, 1 cup cashew milk, 1 scoop protein. Lately I’ve been adding peppermint extract & it tastes like a mint chocolate chip milkshake—I’m not exaggerating. Here’s the blender I use.
12:00pm Lunch
Homemade salad with kale, butter lettuce, red onion, scallions, rotisserie chicken breast, jalapeño, shredded carrots, goat cheese, and cilantro. I add salt and pepper to taste. Mix 1 tbsp of balsamic + 1 tbsp of dijon mustard as dressing.
4:00/5:00pm Snack
Usually I’ll have one of the following:
– Veggies and Roots hummus
– Apple with cinnamon
– Siggi’s yogurt with Fiber One cereal
– No Cow bar (PB chocolate chip)
– Lime & Salt Popcorn
7:00pm Dinner
Varies! Favorites have been:
– Spaghetti squash with rotisserie chicken and steamed green beans
– Quesadilla: sprouted grain wrap, chicken, salsa, peppers, light cheese, greek yogurt as sour cream
– Teriyaki salmon with roasted vegetables and brown rice
– Lean pre-portioned steak (from Trader Joe’s) marinated in Soy Vey with sweet potatoes and a veggie
– Chicken noodle soup (Whole Foods’ is incredible) and salad with fennel & pomegranate seeds
9:30pm Dessert/Late Night Snack
I try to have a healthy version of what I crave and save the good stuff for the weekend:
– Cookie Dough Yasso bar
– Dark chocolate
– Siggi’s yogurt with Lily’s chocolate chips mixed in
