Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share another “What I ate Wednesday” post! These posts are so fun to read and you should definitely post one yourself if you are a blogger! All you have to do is take a picture of the foods you eat throughout the day and link up here to find out what others are eating (and for others to find you!). I am slowly getting the hang of taking a picture of everything I eat for a day, so let’s get on with the post!
For breakfast, I made this super delicious smoothie, it was more of a juice as I added a little too much water. It has 1 1/2 cups of spinach, 2 apricots, 1 nectarine, strawberries, heaps of blueberries and hemp seeds. Very filling and sweet tasting!
About an hour later I ate 2 pieces of whole wheat toast with raw peanut butter, sliced bananas and cinnamon (no picture). One of my all time favorite snacks!
For lunch I made my delicious oatmeal recipe, which I don’t normally eat for lunch, but I have way too many bags of oats in my house. Simply boil water than let simmer after adding oats, almond milk and cinnamon. I like to add a few banana slices once the oatmeal is almost done. When the water is fully absorbed, remove from heat and this time I added 1/4 cup of organic applesauce and topped it with banana and apple! Super easy and delicious!
I don’t normally add applesauce to oatmeal but I accidentally added way too much cinnamon and I figured the applesauce would tone down the strong cinnamon taste, which it did! I would definitely add a bit of applesauce to my oatmeal again!
For dinner I made my kale/chickpea salad with sweet onion dressing. I love this dressing, it tastes so much like a regular sweet onion dressing but without the high fat content and processed ingredients. I topped this salad with sautéed tempeh for even more nutrients, ooh yeah!!
What is tempeh?// Tempeh is made from the fermentation of soybeans. It has a firm texture and to me tastes very similar to eggs. It’s a great alternative to meat as it is a complete protein (meaning it contains all essential amino acids). Perfect for vegans or vegetarians! It also contains lots of fibre, magnesium and iron.
Making your own salad dressing// Store bought dressing may be convenient but homemade dressing is normally a lot healthy for you and contains less or no preservatives and other chemicals. Simply combining a couple vegetables into a food processor/blender makes a really simple way to make a homemade dressing. I also really enjoy just sprinkling lemon juice over my salad or balsamic vinegar dressing.
And that’s it! Hope you all are having a great day! Don’t forget to leave me a comment below!

I’ve only ever seen tempeh at my favorite sushi restaurant. I have yet to try it – there’s always so many delicious things on the menu. I think I might be braver next time I go though now that I know what it tastes like.
Yeah try it out!! I was kinda hesitant if I would like it or not but I really like it when I cook it myself!
Yum! That salad looks really good. I’ve only tempeh once and I didn’t love it, but I should totally try again!
Thank you so much!! :)
