WHAT I ATE IN A DAY | JANUARY

Hello everyone! So since around last September time, i finally began to share "what i ate in a day" type of posts again after quite some time. Ever since then i have made the commitment to do an updated version at least once a month (occasionally twice). With that in mind for 2018 i have decided to share one of these posts per month, because some if not most of the time what i am eating on a everyday basis isn't too different (breakfast and lunches) except maybe for dinner times. Also if you aren't too sure on what a "what i ate in a day" post is, it is basically a food diary of every single thing you ate on a particular day.

For breakfast i am still loving granola and yogurt now and again in-between having porridge, just to switch things up. Unlike in my previous what i ate post i am switching up the Rachel's organic yogurt for a dairy free alternative, which i actually prefer and this is a vanilla flavor. Just like last time i am having it with granola which has oats, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, cacao and also some honey. For coffee i had a cappuccino with oat milk in my new Cath Kidston doggy mug, which i got as a gift for Christmas and i love it! 

Lunch time and at the moment in the UK it is absolutely freezing, so i wanted something warming for lunch and something to fill me up for longer. With that in mind i opted for a spinach and chickpea soup, which at first i thought it doesn't look the most appealing thing but it tasted so yummy.

So i always used to have soy milk or almond milk in my coffees/ice coffees, whether i am at home or out and about until recently when i decided to give oat milk a try. Ever since then i am a complete convert, it is just so tasty and i heard they do it at Starbucks as well now. That being said as a mid-afternoon "snack" i just had an iced oat milk latte, to help me get through the rest of the day.

Finally for dinner time i gave something a try that i had never tried before and that is something from the Linda McCartney range, so i was intrigued to give something a go as i have seen so many people having things from the range. I decided to try one of the vegetarian mozzarella burgers which i had with some chilli chutney and pea shoots and i really enjoyed it, i would definitely have it again.

WHAT I ATE IN A DAY

Hello everyone and welcome back to another "what i ate in a day" post! Earlier in the month i finally posted my first post like this of the year, which is crazy seeing as we are nine months into the year. Today's instalment is very much so an at home day, where i actually ate everything at home rather than a breakfast on the go, or lunch out. Also catch up on my last "what i ate in a day" post if you didn't so already here.

As i mentioned in my previous what i ate post i mentioned how i would sooner have something a little later once i have got ready for the day, rather than as soon as i wake up but as soon as i do wake up i always have a coffee. So for breakfast seeing as i am having it at home and not on the go, i decided to opt for some granola with berries, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon and almond milk.

For lunch i was really craving something on toast, so i decided to opt for scrambled egg. The toast i had was ciabatta bread which i grilled and then two free range eggs that i scrambled in a pan with chilli seeds, then to add some further chilli i topped it with more chilli flakes, dried parsley and some sweet chilli sauce - can you tell by now that i love anything chilli?

It was mid-afternoon and i was really craving something sweet for a snack, so i decided to have one of these danone light and free coconut greek style yogurts, another one of the graze cocoa vanilla protein bites that featured in my previous what i ate post and of course a coffee. Also how cute is my Sophie Allport heart mug, click to browse here.

Finally dinner time and shock horror on two different things, yes by chance i am having pasta again just like last times, i promise i don't have that every single day and second of all i am having chilli on something again. This particular pasta dish is super quick as it literally takes about 15 minutes, easy and tasty to make, especially if cooking isn't your strongest point (like me ha ha). I know pesto is a either love or hate thing but i love it, so i made mine with rigatoni pasta, olive oil, basil, garlic, parmesan cheese, pine nuts and topped with chilli flakes.

I hope you enjoyed another what i ate in a day post, i would also love to know what is your favourite type of pasta dish to eat?
