Another “What I Ate Today” video is up, but this time, I’ve included a Sprouts haul that is really not that exciting or extravagant. Regardless, I wasn’t too busy that day (just volunteering after lunch) and wanted to film for you guys because I felt like putting in extra effort into my food that day, which I think was a Friday I had off, but not sure.

Anyways, I’m actually going to start this post off with the haul and then the recipes because it would take a lot less space and time. I totally forgot to take a picture of everything I purchased but

BREAKFAST: COOKIES & CREAM AND STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE BOWL

I was SO upset that the cookies n’ creme portion of the smoothie bowl was melting waaaaaaaaaay too much and it was overpowering the strawberry part. But otherwise, it was absolutely delicious and I loved the way the PB2 swirled on top in the drizzle! You’ll be surprised as to how well the tart strawberry flavor and the sweet cookies n’ creme flavor complement each other! Anyways, my toppings for this consisted of PB2, blackberries, strawberries, Nature’s Path Q’ia superfood cereal, Love Grown Foods Sea Stars cereal, Evoke Foods Morning Zen muesli, crushed Julian Bakery Paleo coconut flakes, and chunky monkey granola made by Arman!

LUNCH: TOMATO EGGPLANT ZOODLES

I really wish that I could make this a legitimate recipe where I make it from scratch, but this is what I got and I was able to make such a gorgeous lunch out of my leftovers! Plus, leftovers are the BOMB. This classic dish is so fresh, healthy and super easy to put together, and you get to admire so many beautiful colors!

Red Ginger has been our go-to place for Thai foodand whenever I’m craving my light coconut milk curries and eggplant stir-fries! We didn’t end up ordering these in this video but my favorites are the green curry and the pra-ram with steamed tofu. Regardless, the vegan tofu spring rolls, panang curry and chicken pra-ram with cashews tasted amazing. If you are ever in Woodland Hills, visit Red Ginger. Seriously, you will find so many incredible dishes that can be catered towards anyone’s preferences and dietary needs!

Every night for dessert I HAVE to have something with chocolate and nuts. They are so indulgent and decadent but even the smallest portions hit the spot every single time. This mini dark chocolate coconut Zing bar and half an ounce of chunky monkey granola that Arman made for me a while back could not have been more perfect. So as long as you give into your cravings the healthy way, whether eating a healthier version or even having the real thing in a reasonable amount, then you’re doing your body good. 🙂
