Eats Lately 2

It’s been a month since I’ve shared my eats lately. I’m finally getting interested in trying new recipes again. Yay! For awhile nothing sounded good. I ate but nothing was OMG! This is good! 

Here’s some of my favorite breakfasts, snacks and dinners. I didn’t include any lunches since they’re usually leftovers from the night before.

Breakfast

Breakfast Eats Lately June - happyfitmama.com

  • Cocoa Almond Butter Yogurt Smoothie Bowl with Nutty Nuggets – my new fav!
  • Cascadian Farms Multi-grain Squares with almond milk and fresh strawberries and blueberries. I can’t get enough berries right now!
  • Homemade apricot granola bars. So filling and delicious! This was the first time I combined dried apricots and coconut. Mmmm!
  • Blueberry Banana Pancakes – experimenting with a vegan option.
  • Chocolate Zucchini Bread Pancakes with fresh strawberries and banana. OMG! Good!
  • Cell-nique Smoothies
  • Father’s Day breakfast – homemade waffles, plain yogurt, fresh berries, banana and Chia seeds
  • Green smoothie bowl. Frozen kale makes the best thick smoothies.
  • Eggs! This has been my breakfast, lunch or dinner at least once or more times a week. I can’t get enough of a runny egg and salsa.

Random snacks and drinks

  • I’ve been brewing a big pitcher of Tazo green or passion tea with a splash of lemonade.
  • Pink lady apples with almond butter
  • Snack plate of cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, spicy hummus and watermelon
  • Green PB dip and apples
  • Love Edible Arrangements! Makes me smile to see fruit made into flowers!
  • Chocolate Banana Soft Serve with peanuts – Super easy when you want ice cream but don’t have any in the house. Plus, much better for you nutrition wise!
  • Picky Bars! How come no one told me how freakin’ awesome these are?

Dinner

  •  Spinach Burger with roasted sweet potato rounds. REALLY good recipe that a friend shared with me that I will post soon. I’m just tweaking it a tad first.
  • My once every two years “I really want a beef burger” meal. I usually don’t eat red meat but a craving for a grilled burger comes on every so often. It hit the spot so I’m good for another couple of years I guess. :)
  • Pumpkin Kale Bean Quesadilla
  • Green salad with everything but the kitchen sink (my favorite kind).
  • Fish Tacos, corn on the cob and steamed broccoli
  • Father’s day @Flatbread Company – Sweet potato puree, goat cheese, mushrooms, carmelized onions with balsamic reduction – YUM!
  • Black Bean Quinoa Burger fail! They didn’t hold together at all so I turned it into a salad topping. Still delicious!
  • Sweet potato bean bowl – another kitchen sink creation.
  • Ron’s homemade veggie pizza and greens.
  • Roasted salmon and asparagus.
  • Strawberry spinach salad with avocado and feta
  • Grilled chicken, salad and roasted potato wedges
  • Roasted Corn Black Bean Soup
  • Chicken Taco Salad
  • Spaghetti squash pad thai
  • Mexican pizza

Cell-nique Detox Drinks

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cell-nique. All thoughts are my own.

At home juicing has become all the rage lately. I love to eat my veggies but I wonder if getting a little extra kick from juicing would help my health at all. The one thing that’s holding me back? The price tag of an at home juicer. Ouch! Of course, an alternative to making my own is to buy it from my local health food store freshly made or from a bottle.

Recently I was asked to sample Cell-nique Super Green. It’s a USDA organic drink that “energizes, detoxifies and nourishes your body” with the equivalent of 8 servings of fruits and vegetables in every bottle.

https://mail-attachment.googleusercontent.com/attachment/?ui=2&ik=3f7b82ace2&view=att&th=13f34b9f1a52f772&attid=0.1&disp=inline&realattid=f_hhth49dg0&safe=1&zw&saduie=AG9B_P_gWvrF6wTCR24mvboXn7Xf&sadet=1371340417096&sads=t2N13wI4hxkyg952lEz1qBjB1tk&sadssc=1

Cell-nique is vegan, gluten-free, and low-calorie (each bottle is less than 100 calories). All flavors of Cell-nique Super Green contain the same 31 organic super foods.  Most of the sugar count comes from the naturally occurring sugars in the fruits and vegetables, with a small amount of stevia and organic blue agave.

I was sent five flavors to try: Lemon Ginger, Citrus Vanilla, Pomegranate, Apple and Tropical Fruit. After reading the ingredient list on each, I knew that these were serious superfood drinks made with chlorella, blue-green algae, spirulina. They weren’t going to taste sweet and there would probably be a fishy smell. The taste of each flavor varied. Some of the flavors were good by themselves. The Citrus Vanilla was my favorite with a mild citrus flavor and subtle vanilla. It was hard to drink a whole bottle of any flavor at one time. I preferred sipping on it throughout the day. I also experimented a bit by making my usual morning smoothie with Cell-nique instead of coconut water.  I blended half a frozen banana and a little chocolate protein powder. The “green” smell was diminished and was really, really good!

Cell-nique Super Green - happyfitmama.comCell-nique is a great way to get your daily dose of superfoods and then some in one bottle. It’s a convenient way to get your green drink on-the-go when you may not have access to your home juicer.
