i need green

Sooo, I had to work this Saturday. Working weekends is usually kinda a bummer...but today was slow, so I didn't really mind. I guess the crashing economy affects heart surgery too?

I made my lunch the night before, and I tried something new. We were out of lettuce, and since I hate sandwiches that don't have greens, I had to make do with what we did have. I used the remaining green peppers left over from the quiche and broccoli. Then I put the smart deli turkey on top of that.

The sando was MASSIVE. I definitely got carried away - I couldn't even fit it in my mouth!

The rest of my lunch is shown below (apple, nanner, raisins, yogurt covered raisins). Plus, a venti soy latte (kinda a given).

After work I skipped the gym and got a BIG 'ol iced coffee, to which I poured in a cup of vanilla silk soy milk and some stevia. It was so so. In all honesty, I think the barista at Starbucks kinda messed this one up...he told me (after I had already paid) that the iced coffee wasn't ready yet, and (even more annoying) it would be 15 minutes if I wanted to wait. If I wanted to wait?? What? Ummm...I just paid, do I have a choice? So there I am twiddling my thumbs waiting for my coffee like some kind of caffeine junky - long story short I got a not-yet-ready cup of iced coffee (not so tasty).

Of course this will not affect my starbucks relationship...nothing can, I'm hooked!

Then after that I ran to the store for more vegan goodies. Since I was at my newly discovered (and now fave) health food store, I was scanning the aisles for new products. I FINALLY found something I have been looking for FOREVER! Honest Foods' granola planks! I have seriously been on the hunt for these for a few months now, so I immediately knew just what I wanted for dinner. The down side=every flavor had nuts :( So I chose the one with the fewest kinds (almonds are the most tolerable of the nasty food group when the other choices are walnuts and cashews). I get nautious just THINKING about it.

I went with the maple almond crunch. :) They are like big long granola slabs - that are the perfect combo of crunchiness and chewiness. Not too hard to bite into, but able to hold on to quite the pile up of toppings!

I got a jar of soy nut butter to spread on the planks, too! (so excited to try all these new fun products)

Here's the plank pre and post soynut butter layer

The planks were so good, I couldn't help but eat the entire box (with about half the jar of soynut butter).

Jar of creamy soynut love...

Slathering it on...

Going...

Going...

Gone.

I'm sorry but I didn't get pics of the rest of my dinner...I was scooping soynut butter straight out of the jar!
