Hey all! Today went by so fast! I can’t believe it’s 10:00 already. I just got back from a fun night out with my friends, Dara and Jessica. We went to the Cheesecake Factory and Whole Foods. More on that in a bit. First I’ll recap today’s eats.
Breakfast was this
Kashi Creamy Vanilla Hot Cereal with 1/2 a banana, peaches, and almond butter 
This cereal had 7 grams of fiber and kept me full until 12!! It was so good!
Lunch was pretty pathetic
Cantaloupe/Peaches and Turkey on an Arnold Select multi-grain sandwich thin with spinach and cucumbers
I managed to escape the office for a few and grabbed some Starbucks
Grande Sugar Free Vanilla Iced Coffee with Skim Milk
My afternoon snack consisted of Guiltless Gourmet Blue Corn Chips and this
This hummus looked interesting and it tasted good. The only thing that will prevent me from getting it again is that it contains high fructose corn syrup. I noticed this after I bought it because I was in a rush at the store. I almost wanted to return it. I only had a tablespoon. I’ll definitely leave it for my parents to eat because I’d rather not have that additive in my food, thanks. The chips were amazing though!! I definitely recommend them!
After work, I headed to meet my friends Dara and Jessica at the Cheesecake Factory. I am truly turned off by the majority of their menu selections because many of them contain over 1000 calories. I managed to do pretty well. I ordered the Weight Management Grilled Chicken
The portion was still humongous. The whole meal contains 590 calories. I packed half to take home. Here is the description from the menu:
Lightly Pounded Chicken Breast Charbroiled and Topped with a Tomato and Arugula Salad. Garnished with Steamed White Rice and Asparagus
This was actually really good and light. This is what I ended up taking home
Now you know what I’ll be having for lunch tomorrow.
After dinner, we wandered into Whole Foods Market where I stared at everything and bought a yummy dessert
This is a Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookie. It was amazing!! I also bought a Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookie, A Jumble Cookie, Luna Bars, Z Bars, and Oikos. I love Whole Foods!! I wish there was one in Albany.
What is your favorite treat to buy at Whole Foods/your grocery store?
Have a great night!!
I love to get WF “vegan chocolate mousse” – back when I worked there one summer during grad school, my customers raved about it – even those who werent even vegetarian or vegan! It’s pretty awesome, try it sometime!!!
Also, FYI Rebecca I am having a Holey Donuts giveaway on my blog until next Wednesday if you are interested
Thanks for letting me know!! I entered the contest! I am dying to try them!
Love Whole Foods! I don’t know if they still have these, but I used to love these graham cracker-like cookies that were shaped like pretzels (they came in these clear plastic mini-tubs). They we’re addictive!
My all-time favorite treat is the cinnamon oatmeal cookie gelato! If your Whole Foods has a gelato counter, you have to try it!
I’ve never been to a Whole Foods–I’m actually going to one this weekend so we’ll see what I find! I’m excited!
