Phew! I’m so glad that I have found some time to myself. It has been really busy at uni with a zillion things going on at once that I’ve had no choice, but to work at lightening speed and eat pretty much whatever fell in to my hands.
Although slightly rushed my eats were still just as tasty of course…
Monday’s breakfast was a yummy bowl of oats made with a mashed banana, 1 tbsp of carob powder, 1/2 cup of oats, 1 cup of oat milk, 2 cups of water, 2 tsps of maple syrup and topped with fresh strawberries and a creamy white chocolate wonderful sauce.
Lunches on both days have been leftovers from dinner the night before. Yesterday I had the leftovers of the mixed vegetable and lentil stew that I made for dinner on Monday night with steamed veggies. This was also the perfect fuel for my usual Monday 1 hour cardio workout.
Last nights dinner and today’s lunch was a mammoth stir fry of mixed veggies that included cauliflower, broccoli, courgettes, aubergine, carrots, peppers, sugar snap peas and mushrooms. I also added some pressed tofu that I had marinated in soy sauce, oyster sauce, ume plum vinegar and some yellow ginger and chilli sauce…so amazingly delicious! 🙂
I was definitely getting into the Wimbledon spirit with more fresh strawberries for dessert. This time I added blueberries and oat milk and a few squares of Green & lack’s Maya Gold that I found at the back of the cupboard at the weekend. As a food blogger it really is amazing what delicious treats you will find at the back of my cupboards. The Maya Gold bar has been the best find yet! 🙂
After this morning’s yoga session, abs and core and upper body workout I refuelled with a yummy yoghurt bowl made from Rachel’s organic yoghurt, Apple and Blackberry Compote, Homemade Mixed Muesli and a few dates.
Tonight’s dinner was a huge plate of salad topped with some Cauldron’s falafels- I love these things!
The salad included mixed salad leaves, edamame beans, half an avocado, sprouted beans, tomatoes, a shredded whole meal wrap and a sweet chillli dressing. This tasted amazing. I really do enjoy a huge plate of fresh ingredients, the fact that the sun finally made an appearance made this taste even better too.
For dessert I needed a hit of cookies and cream protein ice cream with some strawberries, obviously! 🙂 I think I’m obsessed with fresh strawberries at the moment.
What is your current food obsession?
What is the best thing that you have found lurking at the back of your cupboards? Only delectable and tasty delights please- no mould allowed! Ha! 🙂
Do you like tennis? What is your favourite sport?
Mmmm that falafel salad looks SO GOOD. I haven’t had falafel in forever, now I have a craving!!!
I am loving strawberries too at the moment!! I’ve been having them everyday along with persimmons, cantaloupe, apricots and peaches 🙂 yumm! I just made some strawberry and banana muffins actually!
Well..I think you know what my current food obsession is 😛
I don’t think I’ve ever found anything at the back of my cupboards that I didn’t expect..I tend to keep everything quite organised so I know where everything is and what I’ve got!
I’m not really a sports fan is I’m honest – I know, shame on me..I just find it boring to watch. Maybe if I was at the actual event I’d get into it but just on the TV..nahh!
Strawberries are great, I love when they are in season!! My current food obsession is melon, any kind will do! 🙂
I never find anything at the back of cupboards – when I buy something, I usually eat it pretty quickly:)
I have tried tennis, but only twice or something like that, Nice sport, but to pricey here. I love swimming and running – natural movements with no special requirements:)
I’m loving rude health granola lately, can’t seem to keep my hands outta the box 😉
I love playing tennis, but don’t really enjoy watching it!
I never find anything lurking at the back of my cupboards cos I eat everything I buy!haha!
Wow we have been eating very similar meals these last couple of days, I’ve just polished off a bowl of cookies and cream ice cream and had some white choc wonderful sauce on breaky this morning too, great minds think alike! I’ve been eating a lot of strawberries recently too 🙂
Mmmm, EVERYTHING looks SOOOO stinkin’ good 😀 so REFRESHING!!
this week’s obsession… my little cupcakes. made purely from agave, mashed banana, splash of milk and some oatmeal! little moist bombs of loveliness 🙂
yay for wimbledon! any excuse for strawberries… haha!!
Snap with the tennis and strawberry theme! I love watching wimbledon 🙂
And yay for Maya gold- I love that chocolate so much.
And those falafels- yum- I have not had them for ages. 🙂
Have you seen Tesco have started selling a strawberries and cream sandwich?! My nan rang me to tell me about it as if i would run straight out and get one 😉
Personally i think your oats with strawbs and nut butter sounds MUCH tastier 🙂
I think my current food obsession has to be baked beans, i keep making up my own recipes with different beans and sauces…not very seasonal but damn tasty!
I love watching tennis on TV (I’m not any good at playing), but I usually get outvoted when it comes to watching it.
My current food obsession is muesli – it’s a dangerous one!
Ohhh all this food looks absolutely delicious!! I love the falafel on the salad. It sounds perfect!
I love tennis! I played last summer and fell in love with it. Unfortunately there’s nobody here right now to play with me though. Hopefully I’ll be able to pick up again soon, though!
I’m in the same boat so I’ll give you a game!
That stir-fry looks amazing – I’m on a bit of an aubergine phase at the moment, and strawberries (love) 🙂
I always find forgotten things in my cupboards too – it’s so good when you do!
I’m not a huge fan of watching tennis but I love playing it – and wathcing football.
Ohhh yum! I love the looks of your oats. I haven’t had oats in forever!

I’ve got a good thing going with strawberries at the moment. And cantaloupe. And basically every summer fruit lol. But then there are still the static obsessions, like oats, banana, chocolate, and almond butter. Ooo and speaking of chocolate, I found a Dagoba bar in the back of my cupboards last week. Good stuff 😀
annnd now all I want in life are strawberries and falafels! =) ohmygosh btw your photos are FANTASTIC! you were acting so modest earlier =) haha! point and shoot and hope for the best? I beg to differ! <3
That protein ice cream looks amazing! I was just googling recipes for protein ice cream 🙂

Where on earth do you buy your cauliflower — it’s always so WHITE!
Current food obsession is summer berries — any kind! Hope work quietens down soon 🙂
Ummm, wow. That’s all I can say about your awesome looking eats, especially the dessert!
I got some local, organic strawberries from the farmers market on sunday, mmmm (: they didn’t last very long!
I found a bar of raw chocolate in one of my cupboards a few days ago, which was pretty nice!
Hope things are a little calmer for you today x
Your muesli looks AMAZING-definitely stealing that recipe soon! 🙂
Your blog makes me crave veggies like no other!
Current food obsession is wasabi flavoured popcorn. It’s like crack.
Wasabi flavoured poporn? Wow! That sounds delish! 🙂
