Sensible Snacking on Fruit

June 19, 2013 By Kim 11 Comments

Hey, guys! How’s it going? The “What I Ate Wednesday” theme this month is sensible snacking. Since I’ve been on the Conscious Cleanse, my snacks of choice have been fruit, baby carrots and Sunflower Hemp Seed Balls. On the cleanse, you are to eat your fruits alone or in smoothies. I take full advantage of snack time by going for the fruit almost every time.

Breakfasts as of late have been green smoothies. These green smoothies are something from the cleanse that I plan to continue on most mornings. There is nothing like getting a fill of veggies first thing in the morning. Yesterday, I made my smoothie with a handful of kale, a handful of spinach, 1 banana, 1 cup frozen mango chunks, 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1 cup water, 1 tbsp raw sunflower seed butter and I added 1 tbsp of Q’ia. It was super delish! Have you heard of Q’ia? This was my first time using it, but I’m planning to do more experimenting with it and I also will have a giveaway coming up, so you can try it for yourself.

After breakfast, I did some blogging and then tried to get some vacation stuff put away. Unpacking is such a chore, especially when sand is involved. Alexis was at summer school and my two younger kids spent the night at Nana’s house, so I enjoyed a quite morning and then took Max for a 3 mile walk; just before it started to get too hot.

When I got back from my walk, I was starving so I made a salad with mixed greens, avocado, mushrooms and coconut oil. Have you every tried melted coconut oil as a salad dressing? It is absolutely wonderful! I also had some roasted cauliflower on the side and added some leftover chopped chicken to my salad.

After lunch, it was time to run some errands. I had to make a stop at the post office, bank and grocery store. I took an apple with me to snack on while I was gone. When I got back from the store, I snacked on these super sweet and highly addicting organic purple grapes and raspberries. Organic grapes are hard to come by in my area, so when I come across them I always grab them up.

Dinner was fantastic and it included a brand new recipe that I’m so excited to share with you. I’ll be sure and have it up on Friday. I massaged a couple of handfuls of kale with avocado and topped it with a cauliflower “rice” salad. I served the salad with chicken tenderloins that I cooked on the stove in a little olive oil. I seasoned my chicken with Trader Joe’s Everyday Seasoning {my favorite} and salt.

A few bites of watermelon for dessert was the perfect way to end the day!

Something to think about….

What are some sensible snacks that you’ve been enjoying?

Ever put coconut oil on a salad?

Ever make “rice” out of cauliflower?

Come on back tomorrow! I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the Conscious Cleanse.
