Wake-y Wake-y!

Kenya smell it? Yeah, that right there. You know what that is?

No no, it’s not the crisp, cool air of a season changing, a day beginning, a dawn breaking.

It’s the scent you get when you crack open a fresh can of WIAW first thing in the morning.

And maybe coffee. Actually, I’m positive it’s coffee.

Breakfast:

After waking up earlier than my alarm after going to bed LATER than usual, I decided it was the right time to straighten my hair for the first time in probably 4 months. No matter how many times it tries to persuade you, humidity is NOT your friend.

But breakfast…breakfast definitely is your friend. Like BFF-style. Breakfast 4 Lyfe.

Spinach & mushroom frittata topped with guac & green drink [ spinach, green tea, Nutrigreens, chia seeds]

Lunch

Tofu & green bean stir fry leftovers // steamed carrots & guac

Maybe my meals are trying to hint at what I should be for Halloween this year.

Frankenstein.

The Green Goblin.

A Green Smoothie.

I’ve always wanted to be a sexy glass of spirulina and almond milk for Halloween.

Snack

A late afternoon snack was eaten in my car before one of my nutritious classes with the kiddos, and right after I got my first parking ticket. Womp. Womp.

I seriously couldn’t even plan this many green foods in a day if I like really tried. It’s like the universe is telling me all my food is jealous of me.

After enjoying one of the veggie English muffin pizzas we made in class, I wasn’t as arm-gnawing ravenously hungry as usual when I got home, so eventually pulled together something resembling a meal.

A tuna “melt” with guac on cinnamon raisin bread because I’m weird, and unmelted cheese because I hate the texture…and I’m double weird. Alongside some pepper strips and Dijon, well because I needed something green. You can’t go all day on the green gravy train, and not follow through.

Thanks for hosting

Make it a great day!

If you could only eat foods of all one color, which would you choose? Brown because of PB and Coffee!
