What I Ate in a Day #39
I hate summer, but I love stone fruit and berries! Heat makes me cranky. So to lure myself out of bed, I promised myself a produce-heavy breakfast. Here, I have a fruit plate of fresh peach slices, plumcot slices, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, and pitted cherries. With that, I had a grain coffee soy latte, avocado-olive toast, and a veggie sausage.
I know I didn't necessarily plate the sausage and the toast all that well, but it was a great meal. The olives are an olive tapenade, perfectly salty as a foil for the avocado. Does that mean fatty things on fatty things? Maybe. But it was good.
Lunch was a bento of a meal you've already seen in non-bento form: Lemon couscous, falafel, pita wedges, baba ghanoush, and an arugula salad with tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and kalamata olives and a lemony vinaigrette. I already knew I liked this; it was lovely.
Dinner was leftover pizza pasta with non-dairy Parmesan. This is self-explanatory, but I will say I enjoyed it!
For an evening snack, I made some spice tea with soy milk and had a little cup of Unreal peanut gems.
Not pictured, I also had my usual supplements, which seem to be multiplying: A multivitamin, extra Vitamin D, DHA, and turmeric.
My shoulder kept bothering me off and on after my injury before I added in that daily turmeric capsule, but that has been oddly miraculous. I barely ever notice my shoulder anymore. Go figure.
I am so with you on summer heat and also stone fruit and berries! I just got myself some peaches, plums and strawberries to ease the over 100 degree daily pain lol. Your meals look absolutely delicious and I will be using this as inspiration for my own meals! Your plating is so beautiful and that monbento is perfectly packed.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you find some relief for your shoulder!
Ooh, yes, eat those berries and stone fruits! They help! I'm so much more of a berry and stone fruit person than a melon person.
DeleteI love melon but there is no part of me that wants to tackle cutting them up 🤣 the same with pineapple, I just can't be bothered 😂 I just put frozen pineapple in smoothies 🙌🏻
DeleteOh, I'll cut up a pineapple! I adore fresh pineapple.
