Happy Wednesday Foodie-Friends!
We get a break from the heat today in Germany and it feels great to wake up after a night of good, restful sleep and breathe fresh air first thing in the morning. I am even a bit cold sitting in my office, only wearing a t-shirt. But I know that I have to savour this moment since after the summer storm promised for today it will be hot again for the rest of the week. Due to the resolutions I made earlier this week, I started a more regular blogging schedule: Saturday, Sunday, Monday and an early Wednesday post – doing good so far! Thus you get to see what I actualy eat in one day and not a compilation of some of my weekly meals. I didn’t take pictures of each and everything – blame the heat, it’s all the heats fault – still, I thought some of you would probably be interested in what I eat in a day… I know that my little foodie heart really likes to see such food diaries on other people blogs. We food bloggers are a strange breed. So let’s celebrate!
Breakfast: Greek yogurt with oats, a peach and honey
Snack: two handfuls of cherries, coconut bounce ball
No food, but at least I wanted to show you my new office (I work part-time in the sales/marketing department of an university and write my master thesis in another company at the moment.), where I spent halfof yesterday truly enjoying the comfort of AC.
Lunch: raw tabouli and an egg
I made the raw tabouli an Monday, as you may have read, and the portion was huge, since I used 1 1/4 bunches of parsley and half a head of cauliflower. Thus there were more than enough left overs for lunch on Tuesday and I still have some more for a side dish.
Snack: a quarter of a watermelon and a coconut bounce ball
Does somebody else eat watermelon like I do? The most refreshing thing ever! Absolutely necessary when it’s hot like that outside.
Dinner: big bowl of brown rice with vegetable stir fry
This was satisfying. I especially enjoyed the combination of coconut oil (which I used to fry the vegetables), fresh coriander sprinkled on top and a lot of sriracha, which I added later – of course.
Dessert: Coconut ice cream with some chocolate chips
And since most of us are also quite fitness interested, I just cannot deny you this amazing online workout I discovered yesterday, thanks to a post on PBJenny: It is a mix of Yoga, Booty Shaking and Plyometrics and you won’t believe how sweaty this makes you. I seriously needed to swipe the floor after this workout (my kitty ripped my Yoga Mat appart, that’s why I work out on the floor – I have to get a sturdier one soon): Buti Yoga. I did there sample Buti Tone Workout and plan on doing the Buti Sculp and another Buti Tone tomorrow – you’ll finde a few more free workouts on youtube – before thinking about purchasing a one month membership.
A few food pictures somehow didn’t make it in my recent posts, but I still like to share them with you, to make up for those unpictured meals mentioned above.
What else I enjoyed to eat recently:
Sweet omelet – who would have guessed it, though I am a bit lazy when it comes to breakfast time recently, I still managed to have one of those thingies the other day.
Ever heard of peanut butter banana lettuce wraps? No? Try them! They are the bomb – the perfect sweet snack for hot weather (and cold). Soooo delicious!
And one perfect breakfast. It just cannot get better than this: a glas of cold brewed ice coffee, a runny egg with my last slice of perfect bread and half a grapefruit with cinnamon and honey.
Oh and I really enjoyed the BBB (blogs 2. birthday buckwheat) Porridge the other day. Everything tastes better with a birthday candle in it!
Do you like to see what other people eat in a day? (no judgement, that’s a totaly natural curiosity, I’m sure…) Does your office have an AC? How do you eat your watermelon?

We have been eating watermelon just like that! We spoon it out for fruit salad but have been digging into the half of leftover melon that sits in the fridge. So much fun 🙂
