Zombies have taken over the South.
Well, the idea of zombies has. Seriously – zombies are “cool” now. Clearly I am not cool because I don’t get it. They taped an episode of some zombie TV show outside of my office a few months ago, people are all about zombie movies… and today I saw this while driving:
If they are coming, at least I was behind a Zombie Apocalypse Response Vehicle.
Time for something I DO understand: What I Ate Wednesday. How about a zombie themed WIAW next, Jenn?
Check out my eats below; then click here to hop on to Jenn @ Peas and Crayons to see what everyone else ate Wednesday!
Breakfast:
I had an appointment with a trainer later in the afternoon, so this morning I skipped over my traditional protein smoothie in favor of the last Pumpkin Zucchini Muffin in my freezer.
I topped it with a peanut icing (peanut flour, almond milk, and cinnamon), and enjoyed it with Banana Cream Pie yogurt… which I stirred more peanut flour and cinnamon into. Nom.
Lunch:
Total salad porn. It tasted just as decadent as it looks.
In my salad:
- Spinach
- Cabbage
- Alfalfa sprouts
- Tomato
- Sprouted adzuki beans
- Cashew pieces
- Nutritional yeast
- Local, farm-fresh runny egg
Dinner:
After the first Italian Baked Broccoli Slaw win, I had to try it again.
This one was similar, but I used a few different veggies. I think I like this even better! The red onion was the perfect addition. Other additions:
- 1/2 package broccoli slaw
- Portobello mushroom
- Alfalfa sprouts
- Zucchini
- Radishes
- Red onion
- Nutritional yeast
- Red pepper flakes
- Herbs de Provence
- 1 C roasted garlic marinara sauce
Snacks:
It was a snack-y day. This may not look like much, but check out my lunch and dinner. You better believe I snacked on all those veggies while I was chopping them for each meal.
Clockwise from the top left: Sweet Potato Pie Protein Shake (in a bowl with a cherry on top), watermelon (the first perfect one of the season!), Fitmixer Berry BCAA Powder mixed in water, carrot sticks, and a new late-night muffin creation (recipe to come).
***
Needless to say, I just got carried away stocked up at the Farmer’s Market. You would think I had a family of 5 with all the veggies in my fridge.
Are zombies “in” where you live? Do you get it?
What is the best thing you ate this Wednesday?
I don’t know what’s up with the zombies but they are everywhere from cops shows to the news. Ugh…I don’t get it either. I love all the food you have here but I must admit I am a sucker for a salad with a runny egg on top! So going to try this! Thank you for sharing your eats for this week!
Thank you! I am a suck for runny eggs as well. 🙂
Well least the CDC has Zombie Preparedness and Response. Cool van.
You salad brought me over. Definite food porn. Looks wonderful. And a great way to get your eggs/protein into your diet.
So I have this conspiracy theory – we have crossfit to build strong people to prepare for the end of the world. Those will be the ‘new race’ of people. And zombies will lurk from the devastation and destruction. So the cross fit people will need to build the new world and get rid of the zombies. What do you think?
Hahaha I love the conspiracy theory Christine!
I think you may have uncovered their plot! totally makes sense. And fits with the Paleo diet.
Yuuummm….that salad looks tasty! The combo sounds right up my alley!
Are you serious about those zombies? If it is supposed to be a joke, I’m not sure I get it, but I always take pictures of funny signs. Everyone eats that carb master yogurt and it comes in such good flavours! Has it got nonnutritive sweeteners in it? Where do you buy it?
and yes, everything is delicious slathered in spaghetti sauce. I love broccoli slaw + sauce!
Yup – Americans are zombie-obsessed. 🙂
The yogurt is sweetened with sucralose… I wish it was Stevia but it’s soooo good. Its from a grocery store called Kroger (store brand).
I have to say- I thought I made killer salads but clearly I’ve met my match! Your lunch salad looks to die for! My Wednesday has just started but in terms of eats, it’s off to a great start! Gotta love overnight oats with Vanilla Sunwarrior & peanut butter stirred in :)!
LOL! I just like to see how much stuff I can pile on them.
the spinach and cabbage salad looks good! You ate well, Laura! 🙂
My brother and sister-in-law were talking this weekend about this Run for Your Life ZOMBIE race they participated in. You can either be a Zombie “attacker” or a runner. My brother got “killed” by a Zombie Santa Claus while running through a lot of mud.
It sounded hilarious, but I don’t get the zombie thing either. Why are we not all obsessed with, say…teachers? I’d love to be hip and cool.
Now that I have discovered an unopen package of peanut flour in my moving process, I will have to start covering things in peanut icing….
I keep hearing about those races! I just want to go watch one. But I would also go watch a teacher race. 🙂
Hahah zombies are not “in” here, but someone on FB referred to the guy that ate someone else face (in FL I think?) a zombie…
OMG – my fried was just telling me about that last night. I had nightmares!
I don’t get the zombie thing either. Your salad on the other hand…I get it and it looks yummy!
Haha – I am in the same boat. 🙂
Everything looks great! I have zucchini bread muffins in my freezer back home and I am missing them incredibly 🙁
Is that yogurt called CARBMASTER?!?!
I love your salad porn. And the fact that you called it RUNNY egg and not some other horrible word. 🙂
Fo’ shizzle! It’s delish. They also have Spiced Pear and a Carrot Cake flavors. 🙂
So many veggies! 😀 I haven’t had much to eat yet, but I enjoyed my parfait this morning. I’m looking forward to leftover jerk chicken tonight though!
I tried that yogurt one week because it was on sale, isn’t the banana cream bomb? Try the carrot cake as well, yummmmmm
I have! Soooo good!
Hahahaha that van! So weird. I’m definitely not on the zombie train yet. Did you see that episode of Castle about the zombies?
I don’t watch Castle. Was it good?
Yea, it was! I love that show so I think most of them are good but the Zombie thing they did was surprisingly interesting…
I admit, I don’t “get” the zombie thing either…what a weird van!
I don’t get the zombie thing either…. I mean, vamps are handsome so that makes sense, but zombies are gross! I guess it takes all kinds.
I don’t think I’ve ever put an egg right on my salad before! hmmm… it’s lunchtime!
Agreed! Zombies are just scary.
Did you try the egg at lunch?
Love all of the veggies. That salad looks ammmmmmazing.
Lol I don’t get why they’re so “in” right now either but I did run in a zombie-infested 5K race, which was a blast! But you never know…in the past 2 days, I’ve read a couple different news stories about people biting/attacking other people! Eek =:O
Those stores are so creepy. At least they were on drugs…
salad porn is my favorite kind. wait…
Bwhahahaha! Comment of the day. 🙂
I’ve been reading about a few Zombie 5k’s, that’s about all that I’ve heard of… so far, the zombies haven’t taken off here yet! I love topping salad with an egg. And your pumpkin muffin sounds delish, too!
HILARIOUS that your post today is about Zombies! At lunch today, we had a whole convo re: zombies (given what’s been going on in FL). Happy Wed chica! HUGS!
I know! I cant believe there’s a video of that nastiness floating around. *shudder*
Wow that peanut butter frosting looks too good!
I’m not going to lie, I kind of got into the zombie thing after I watched enough movies/tv shows with my boyfriend. That doesn’t make me cool though 😉
PB icing?! Genius! Looks like a perfect veggie day to me!
Italian baked broccoli slaw looks awesome girl! Thanks!
Mmm lots o’ veggies going on here, yum to say the least! They are so refreshing and flavorful right now, even more enjoyable in warmer weather 🙂
Plus the PB icing, yum
Egg on a salad…new to me unless it’s hardboiled..and looks awesome!!
About the zombie thing…I read an article the other day where a guy was eating another guy’s face. The headline had something to do with zombies…yikes.
It’s really good – it’s a topping and a dressing all in one!
Sweet Potato Pie Protein Shake sounds Yum! Need to make.
It is my all-time favorite… and I make a LOT of smoothies. 🙂
Did you read the article about the naked man in Florida who was eating this other guy’s face?!?! The police had to shoot him like a dozen times to get him off……so yeah….I don’t know how I feel about zombies anymore.
I SWEAR I wrote this before I heard about that. Apparently he was on a drug called bath salt? So nasty.
Haha what a paranoid van – suppose it could happen 😉
Delicious WIAW as always but healthy too – how do you do it!
Cheers

Dude – it’s so easy when you have nothing in your fridge but veggies and you need to used them all in 1 week. I even baked with them! 🙂
Mmm love that brocolli slaw recipe–I’ll have to try it! The zombie stuff is strange–can’t believe you saw a zombie response vehicle!
Happy WIAW! Love your salad. 🙂
Nom nom nom nom. What a yummy day. You actually got me in to protein smoothies. Now, the greener the better. Do you think the zombie popularity is creating the actually zombie behavior spreading across the US right now? Wouldn’t that be a little too creepy.
Really?! That’s like the biggest compliments I could receive. Green smoothies will save the world from zombies! 🙂
that salad! why have i never tried egg on a salad??? this will change very soon. very, very soon.
Duuuuude… you would die. In a good, non-zombie way.
I don’t understand the zombie thing either. But they say those that don’t believe are the first to die, so I guess I should pretend to believe… or something.
Zucchini muffins! I have so much zucchini in my fridge right now! I know what I’m baking tonight. 🙂
I should send you the recipe for the new version I just made… do you have coconut flour over there?
Ooh BCAAs in your smoothie – why haven’t I tried that?! 😉
Haha I’m not sure I GET the whole zombies are coming thing but I do know that watching Walking Dead gave me nightmares after every episode! Too good to stop watching though! 🙂 Hope you have an awesome time on your trip love! Finally in London! (Yayy!) Still no internet though so completely behind on blog reading but I’m sure it must be nearly time for you to jet off!?
