Today I am sharing what I ate last Thursday. Here’s to new food ideas & living a healthy life without counting calories!

Morning’ ladies! How did you like the first of my new series “WHY Intuitive Eating?” yesterday? Did you see it? Make sure you’re subscribed to posts by email so you never miss a post (sign-up).

Alrighty, let’s jump into Daily Eats from last Thursday!

Breakfast – two over-medium eggs & steamed brussels sprouts with olive oil & sea-salt. This craving hit me out of nowhere! So good though.

Mid-morning snack – multigrain pita crackers with a slices of cheddar cheese & turkey on top. Does this remind you of childhood? It does, me!

Lunch – leftover eggplant parmesan (Dad made it this weekend while in Ventura, and I packed some to-go). It’s amazing!

Throughout the workday I sipped this honey lavender Yogi tea. I love these teas at night & through the day!

Afternoon pick-me-up – smoothie with greek yogurt (plain), banana, blueberries, spinach, whole milk, and flaxseed. Mmm. I’ve been craving yogurt in smoothies lately. So creamy and filling.

Dinner – Chicken, Quinoa, & Black Bean bowl. Below, I’ll list what’s inside.

• 2 cups cooked quinoa
• 2 chicken breasts cut into cubes & cooked in olive oil with chopped, spinach, onion, and mushroom (chopped the veggies in a food processor and added them in with the chicken when it was almost fully cooked)
• 1 can of drained black beans
• 1 bag of steamed broccoli florets
• pico de gallo (fresh, store bought)
• Mix all together in a large bowl once cooked/prepped as listed

{Updated 4/23/15 – I accidentally said tofu bowl! This is chicken 🙂 But, you can do this with tofu, too!}

The Hubby enjoyed Haagen Daaz & Oreo’s for dessert. At times I join him. Knowing that I can join him whenever allows me to pick & choose when it really sounds good. I opted for more tea instead. Plus, I was feeling fulfilled watching rules of engagement & cozying up in my pajamas.

Come back tomorrow for 2/4 of the “WHY Intuitive Eating?” series!
