A PB&J Day

How’s your Tuesday?

I woke up pretty hungry this morning but I was determined to get to yoga before breakfast. I may have been planning this breakfast during shavasana. I’ve actually noticed that my mind is a lot harder to calm in the morning than later in the day. Maybe that’s a sign that I’m meant to be a morning person. 😀

I’ve been trying to eat more clean recently. It’s a lot easier when your parents load you up with lots of veggies to take home!

This is one of my new favorite salads. (How often do I say that?) I used spinach, mixed lettuce greens, and broccoli slaw as the base. I then added black beans sprinkled with garlic salt, heart of palm, a little salsa, and tomatoes and peppers on the outskirts. I topped the fiesta with my Mom’s homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette (so good!) and roasted Brussels sprouts. This salad, with a handful of peanuts before dinner on the side, really held my appetite. I don’t know who started the rumor that salads aren’t filling but I beg to differ.

Speaking of peanuts, happy Peanut Butter and Jelly Day! I just perused this Buzzfeed article and am officially craving PB&J desserts, sandwiches, smoothies everything. Chocolate PB&J cups? Sign me up!

What’s your favorite way to eat peanut butter and jelly?
