Breakfast & Coffee #1: First thing I will have a cup of coffee. 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 2 slices of toast with whipped cream cheese.
Lunch: Mixed greens + air-fried chicken nuggets + Bolthouse farms classic ranch
Preworkout Snack: I don’t normally workout in the afternoon because I usually get so sleepy around then, but I really wanted to workout outside in the garage with the door open since it was so nice out this afternoon. So I made this snack – it’s a favorite preworkout snack of mine for over 10 years! 1 mashed banana + 1 spoonful creamy peanut butter….stir it all together! I call it “peanut butter banana pudding”. It looks gross but I promise it is GOOD. Also, 1 cup of coffee for a little caffeine boost!
Post-workout: Coconut BUILT bar. Y’all already know I love these. 130 calories, 17g of protein, tastes like a candy bar. 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!
Afternoon snack: Two good vanilla yogurt w/ half a banana (shared the other half with Emma) and honey.
Dinner: Balsamic Roasted Mushrooms w/ Herby Kale & Sweet Potatoes – For this I used this recipe and instead of doing mashed potatoes, I just subbed in cubed sweet potatoes that I roasted alongside the mushrooms. Takes an easy recipe and makes it even easier! BTW, I love the Budget Bites website. Tons of great recipes if you need to search for one!
Dessert: A few pieces of Bark Thins dark chocolate & coconut!
