What I Ate Wednesday 39

Hi friends! It’s been a few weeks since I’ve jumped right into the good ol’ What I Ate Wednesday eats, but I hope you liked the break I took last week to share some delicious food allergy friendly finds. You mayyy see some of those babies make an appearance in my next few weeks of EATS...or even today…

I’m actually at a taping for The Chew right now, so be sure you’re following me on Instagram ((← click here to follow)) and Snapchat (username: chelseyamer) to get a behind the scenes look!

These eats are from last Tuesday…

I wake up around 7am on Tuesdays nowadays so that I can get a couple of hours of work in before I take my leisurely, #Iworkfromhome, workout class at a ripe 9:30am. I need a little something in me before I dance it out for an hour, but I try to keep it light… and caffeinated (see above + coffee).

This mornin’ I had a corn thin topped with sunflower seed butter, banana slices and some homemade granola I’ve been testing for a super exciting project!

After my class, I had a few errands to run, which included grabbing a new booch flavor to try…

Full disclosure — I’m 100% NEW (and soooo behind the trends) on the whole kombucha (fermented tea) thing, but I’ve been trying to reset my gut after being on a bunch of antibiotics and well, enter kombucha (#nutritionnerdtip: fermented foods contain PROBIOTICS, which are GREAT for your gut health…full post coming soon!). I digress, but I think all the ‘booch is hurting my belly (and I was only drinking about 1/4 cup daily!), so I’ve tried to lay off of it, but last week I was fully ON the ‘booch train.

I came home, showered, and was ready for an early lunch around 11:30am…

I made a great big salad with tuna, leftover roasted veggies and a couple more corn thins for the crunch factor. And I hydrated big time with H2O!

I had a bunch of work to get done, so it was mostly a lame-o desk day…womp womp. On Tuesdays I have my Research Applications class in the late afternoon/evening, so I obviously go packed with snacks…

I had 2 of these bites that I picked up at the GFAF Expo the other week with an entire water bottle (750ml). The blueberry flavor is SO delish and legit tastes like a blueberry muffin!

I got home from class around 7pm and cooked dinner for S and myself…

A quick take on my Shrimp Primavera with zoodles and a side of roasted brussels sprouts. If you haven’t tried this recipe it’s a MUST TRY! It’s SO easy to make and DELICIOUS! Plus, full of lean protein.

After dinner, S and I lounged on the couch and split this individual packet of nut free chocolate chips…

And that’s a wrap on my day’s eats!

I can’t wait to share my experience at The Chew…stay tuned!
