[breakfast] LG Raisin Almond Granola and Greek Yogurt + Black Coffee [pre-gym snack] Habanero Cheddar + Triscuits w/ water [lunch] Falafel Pitas w/ Arugula, Hummus, and Tatziki + Mango Un-sweet Green Tea [snack] Sweet Potato Puffs [dinner] Brinner! Egg + Cheese Pressed Sandwich + water
One of my [Go Green!] goals this month is to drink more antioxidant-packed green tea. I think I average about a cup a day [whoo!] but I want to work my way up to 2-3 cups. I think this will be easy when the heat wave starts to kick in because I can drink unsweet mango iced tea like it's going out of style. Because they go hand in hand, [and because tea is a diuretic] I'll also have to up my water intake! So this month i'll be focusing on more green tea... more water... and more green fruits and veggies! What about you?
Your turn! Show us what you've been scarfing lately and share some green goodness with us!
Damn... that reminds me I'm out of green tea at work. I was supposed to get more today. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteLOVE the green theme!!!!! xoxoxoxoxo
More green tea is a great idea! I'm in!
ReplyDeleteLove your Quinoa recipe. How could I forget about green tea?! It's GREEN and I have it every single morning!
ReplyDeleteThat Quinoa looks so good! I don't think I had quite enough green food...I'll have to try harder next week!
ReplyDeleteI love you quinoa - quinoa is one of my favourite carbs so I'm always looking for new ways to eat it!
ReplyDeleteAll but one of the things I ate for WIAW was green, haha, I do tend to get a bit carried away with themes, but it's a good thing when it means I eat lots of extra veg! Thanks for organising it! :)
falafel balls. enough said.
ReplyDeleteyum.
Maybe you mentioned and I missed it but what is that photo next to the Falafel balls? It looks like a pasta salad?
ReplyDeleteI've got to get on that quinoa like (white on) rice. [Heehee..get it? Maybe? To me that was funny...at 4:30 in the morning. ;)]
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, I love using quinoa with spaghetti sauce instead of pasta...so why not use it with ASIAN sauce? [And the more vinegar the better...]
I'm with you on the tea (and veggies). I just started experimenting with loose tea, my new obsession. I have my own bags, a tea strainer. Fun. Still have to make that quinoa, I'm thinking Thursday. WIAT ha ha.
ReplyDeletehow to add backlink to post WIAW?

More green tea is a great idea. I had a recipe for green tea from the Carb lovers diet. I'll have to find that again, make some and post it. It's supposed to help you lose weight. Hmmm...what did I do with that?!?
ReplyDeleteI was a major failure in the greens department yesterday, but I'll make up for it next week. :)
ReplyDeleteI posted a pic of quinoa stir fry that I had. Completely delicious and so much better than with rice.
ReplyDeleteAs for green tea consumption I am with you, and I love the stuff. I got some green tea's from Yogi and have been drinking about 3 cups a day due to how good it tastes.
I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!
I should really keep green tea in my desk at work. I stick to the vanilla comoro though. Any tea is good tea! :) YUM! You had a good week of eats! I need to make sure I consume more greens this week :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pressed sandwich. I really need to get more creative with sandwiches- I feel I"m in a rut yet again!
ReplyDeleteI love falafel... did you make them?
ReplyDeleteI've never made them at home, but I would like to try bc at a restaurant they are deep fried and I would love a healthified recipe for them!
I LOVE cheese & Triscuits. especially with a thinly sliced green apple. But I really jealous of your habanero cheddar! Need to find me some of that! thx.
ReplyDeleteI love the green theme. I try to get Green Tea in my days, too. Doesn't always happen, but it's so soothing. Thanks for hosting, I'm glad I finally got my act together and linked up. Happy WIAW!
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to try drinking some green tea too ... what kind are you getting? LOVE the quinoa fried race re-mix. All your food looks so yummy! Can't wait to see you soon!

Love the theme and I think it's perfect for St. Pattys day too! Have you ever tried Green tea lattes? I think I may switch out my skinny vanillas for one of those!
ReplyDeleteOoh I haven't! I haven't even moved over to iced yet -- still drinking it hot hot hot! <3
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so yummy, I drink green tea at work. Trying to drop the coffee for green tea. It is still a work in progress. Hope to be back and post a WIAW next week.
ReplyDeleteWhoohoo!! My first WIAW is up! :)
ReplyDeleteGirl, do you realize you have almost 200 bloggers (and it's not even the end of the day!) posting their eats on your page? That's pretty darn cool. ;) You rock!
ReplyDeleteP.S. You'd be proud of me ... I actually included something green and healthy in my post this week haha! ;)
Looks like a delicious day! Thanks for sharing that recipe!
ReplyDeleteI'm a newbie to your blog, but this idea is great! I follow a few blogs that participate in this and was thinking of joining? :o Haha, but all of your food looks great (love your photography!!)
ReplyDeleteGood call on the green tea! I think I'll have some right now. This makes me miss the summer days of snacking on peas and carrots in the garden all summer. aaaahhhh almost there!
ReplyDeleteArugula pesto sounds peppery good... if that makes any sense. I don't think it's weird at all. If you don't mind sharing the recipe it would be greatly appreciate by me :)
