Seriously, what do you REALLY eat?

I get this question a lot.  "Seriously, I know you believe in all that healthy stuff, but what do you really eat on a day by day basis?"  This inspired me to attempt to capture everything my family ate for a week.  The week that I choose I also had another goal - use what I already had in my pantry plus spend $100 during only one trip to the grocery store.  That means, I did not make a lot of fancy new recipes for the week, but tried to stay practical. 

This will be a three part post, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

On to BREAKFAST:

Breakfast is a crazy time, making sure both girls get dressed, have their bags packed, make their lunches, oh and get their breakfast ready.  I wish I could say I planned ahead, made lunches the night before, etc, but I don't.  I just pour a big cup of coffee and get busy.  BTW - breakfast will not include what Chad eats.  He usually has coffee and sometimes a smoothie and nuts.

Monday:
Girls - sliced kiwi, and Trader Joe muffins

Does have added oil

(These muffins are a treat, as they are not vegan or gluten free)
Me: coffee, kiwi and after I ran, I made a smoothie:
1TB flax seed
1 TB Cocoa powder
1/2 cup soy milk
romaine lettuce
carrots
1/2 cup frozen berries
1 frozen banana

Tuesday:
Girls - sliced kiwi, grilled bananas and Udi's GF
bread with chocolate peanut butter
Me - carrots (yes, I really ate carrots for breakfast), oatmeal and an unsweetened soy latte

Wednesday:
Girls: frozen gluten free waffles (Whole Foods) and orange slices
Me: orange slices, TB of walnuts, oatmeal, unsweetened soy latte

Thursday:
Girls: Frozen gluten free waffles, apple slices with peanut butter
Me: apple

Friday:
Girls: slice of Sally's Bakery gluten free, vegan banana bread,
Gluten Free Cereal, see picture
Me: unsweetened soy latte, slice of Sally's banana bread

Salad for breakfast

I don't mind if I do. Always easy when you already have one made in the frig. Dressing was already made, as well. Super creamy avocado, tomatoes and cilantro blended in my Vitamix.

Oatmeal bars

Enjoy hot out of the oven or cold:
2 cups gluten free oatmeal
1/2 cup soy, almond, rice or hemp milk milk
1 cup applesauce
3/4 cup chopped dried fruit. I used dates, cherries, raisins and apricots
2 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
Mix well. Press into 8x8 brownie pan (lightly oiled)
Baked 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes
A great snack, dessert or breakfast - Note - The girls did not like these, I have enjoyed them, as they are an easy snack to carry around when I am in a hurry, better for you than your typical bar!
