Breakfast: First thing this AM I had a cup of coffee before my workout. Then after I had my second cup with my breakfast. Lately I mix in half a scoop of this collagen powder into the coffee. Then, I mix about 3/4 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk with just a splash of Natural Bliss vanilla creamer in a measuring cup. Pop that into the microwave for 1 minute to steam the milk, then froth it with this handheld frother. Pour over coffee! Then breakfast was a protein pancake (recipe below) with blueberries.
Blueberry Protein Pancake:
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder of your choice (I’m using this kind right now)
- 1 mashed banana
- 2 egg whites
- handful blueberries
Mix together, spray pan, cook over medium-low heat, flip when the top starts to bubble.
Snack: New Raspberry Cheesecake BUILT bar!! These are new and they are SOOO GOOOD. Each flavor is a little different in terms of nutrition stats if you care, but per bar they are roughly 140 calories, 17g of protein, & are delicious. You can use code BESS at checkout for 10% off your purchase of BUILT bars. Click here to shop this one and the other flavors! My favorite flavors are Coconut and German Chocolate Cake….and now Raspberry Cheesecake. DROOLING.
Lunch: Mixed Greens w/ Air Fried Chicken Nuggets + Bolthouse Farms Ranch (the protein content from my breakfast & snack had me not super hungry but this salad was perfect)
Snack: Salted Caramel Gelato while we were out!
Snack #2: Lots of veggies & dip
Dinner
Ahi Tuna Poke Bowls
I have never made Ahi Tuna before, or Poke bowls for that matter, but the bowls seem easy enough! The Ahi Tuna is slightly more intimidating but I’m here to tell you that it is not as scary as I thought and truly very easy! The good thing about these bowls is you can put in/take out whatever ingredients you don’t like to make it your own. This has all the yummy stuff I love!
Ingredients:
- ahi tuna steaks
- jasmine rice
- shredded carrots
- cucumber – thinly sliced
- purple cabbage – chopped
- edamame
- avocado
- sesame seeds
- sriracha aioli
- teriyaki
Directions:
- I used steamable edamame and jasmine rice that I cooked in the microwave – I like to make it as easy as possible.
- To cook the ahi tuna, I decided to sear it. I know most poke bowls is raw fish like sushi style, but I wasn’t sure how to go about that at home. Lol. Besides, I love a seared tuna so I wanted to know how to do it! Good news is, it’s easy. I found this post with instructions and I followed those: First I marinated the tuna steaks in a little teriyaki for about 10 minutes as I got the other ingredients prepped. Then I got the pan super hot and I cooked the steaks for 2 minutes on each side.
- Once they are done, slice them up & assemble your bowl!
- Drizzle with teriyaki sauce & srirachi aioli as desired, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
YUM. So good!! This is about to become a staple!

Bess
