WIAW

Happy Wednesday! We’re half way through the week =) It’s actually my Thursday because tomorrow is my Friday! Wahoo!

I’m doing another What I ate Wednesday Post thanks to the lovely Jen – So let’s get to it!

This is actually what I ate YESTERDAY so I could post it today 🙂

Breakfast: 1/4 cup oats, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, handful of raisins, 1 apple chopped (some in the bowl, most on the side)

Lunch: Operation get rid of all of the veggies that are about to go bad: Stir Fry – 4 oz chicken with red peppers, green beans, snow peas, water chestnuts and mushrooms in 1 1/2 tbsp teriyaki sauce

Dinner: Home made Black bean burgers w/ mango & avocado salsa (I had this plus another half)

Snacks: 1/2 Whole Wheat Wrap with 1 tbsp PB, 1/2 banana, a drizzle of agave and a sprinkle of cinnamon – This is my new favorite snack and I’ve been eating it almost every day!!

Snack #2 – Left-over Sesame-Miso Cucumber Salad &  1/6 cup of black beans w/ a square of dark chocolate

Dessert: Scoop or 2 of White Chocolate Wonderful 🙂

Since this is also a fashion AND fitness blog I’m going to share my workout and what I wore today yesterday as well.

Wearing:

• Headband – Charming Charlies
• White Shirt w/ Glitter Pocket – Old Navy
• Necklace – J. Crew
• Pink Skirt – Forever 21

Workout: 30 minutes of cardio after lunch and before snack #2 and 60 minutes of bootcamp before dinner where I basically got my butt kicked

Remind me to never take weeks off from that class ever again!!

My delicious dinner was actually prepared by my aunt so I don’t have step by step pictures but I did want to share the recipes 🙂

Black Bean Burgers

Ingredients

• 30 0z can of black beans, rinsed & drained
• 1/4 cup whole wheat panko
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2  medium jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
• 2 large egg whites
• Olive Oil Cooking Spray

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Place black beans in a medium bowl and mash with fork
• Stir in panko, cumin, oregano, sea salt, jalapeno and egg whites
• Shape bean mixture into 6 1/2 inch thick patties on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, carefully turning once

Mango/Avocado Salsa

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups chopped mango
• 3 tablespoons onion
• 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 avocado peeled and chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced

Directions

• Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and toss gently.

We topped our burgers with the salsa and served it with romaine lettuce instead of a bun. You could always add the lettuce on top of the burger w/ salsa and place on a Whole Wheat bun. These are so good! I’ve been wanting to make black bean burgers FOREVER so I’m glad it finally happened 🙂

Tomorrow I have a post on eating healthy for Cinco De Mayo – If you have a healthy recipe feel free to link it and I can add it to my post! Have a wonderful Wednesday!
