This morning I woke up with a hankering for eggs. I haven’t had eggs in a while, and I wasn’t really sure how I wanted to eat them so I started packing my lunch hoping to be hit with an idea. I knew I had tons of veggies so I decided to make a big Fitnessista inspired salad. Speaking of Fitnessista-I just won her raw cacao cookie giveaway. I am so excited! YAY!

After making my lunch I decided to go with an egg white scramble. In my scramble was three egg whites, 1/2 a tomato diced, fresh basil, 1 wedge of Lite Laughing Cow cheese, and pepper.

On the side I had a piece of Arnold Whole Wheat bread, some strawberries, and green tea. The egg scramble did not really come out as I had hoped-a little runny, but it was still eatable!


My Fitnessista inspired salad I packed for lunch had everything but the kitchen sink. I just kept throwin’ in the veggies! This colorful concotion had:

  • organic baby spinach
  • baby portabello mushrooms
  • tomato
  • baby bell peppers
  • purple onion
  • carrots
  • dulse
  • dried cherries
  • toasted almonds

I also packed a little olive oil and balsamic to drizzle over the top.

I’m pretty much obsessed with all the colors and how beautiful this salad looks. I hope it tastes just as good!


Looks yummy right? I can’t wait to dive in.

I also packed a cup of the Organic Creamy Corn and Lemongrass soup with hot pepper flakes that I had last night. I think all the soup needed was a little spice! I love hot pepper flakes because it is all the spice and no salt. They actually have a lot of fiber too!

Of course I had to pack an orange for my mid afternoon snack.

Well I’m off to work. I hope you all have fabulous days, and don’t forget to enter the giveaway. I want to know that you are actually out there reading!
