Whole Foods = Whole Paycheck

I heard "The Fitnessista" say this about Whole Foods and it's so true. It's nearly impossible to go there and spend under $100.

My lunch at Whole Foods

Their unsweetened, iced tea was very good!

This wrap was a bit of a let down. It tasted like wet soggy vegetables. No flavour at all. I still ate it though :)

I bought so much stuff at Whole Foods. I usually buy most of my baking and cooking ingredients from Noah's Natural Foods, but I thought I would give Whole Foods a chance. When I went there, I realized that Whole Foods is actually cheaper. I don't think the words cheaper and Whole Foods have ever been in a sentence together, but it's true! I bought some sweet brown rice (looked smaller and more round then regular brown rice), macadamia nuts, pine nuts (for 44.00 $/ pound)--> I didn't buy a pound though, and a lot of other stuff! I made sure to buy lots of natural almonds for my home made almond milk today!

I did come across some of their house made guacamole and it was delish! I am not a huge fan of guacamole but I licked the container clean on this one. I cut up some pita, sprinkled it with hot chili oil and baked it in the oven at 350 for about 8 minutes, and served it with the guac! Great afternoon snack!

Almonds soaking in water before they turn into milk!

Pita cut into triangles and getting ready for the oven!

Healthy easy snack!

Not too sure what i'll make for dinner today, but I'm just about to start my 45 minute yoga for buns workout from yogadownload.com!

See you later! :)

P.S. Found some vegan pumpkin mousse at Whole Foods, can't wait! I'm thinking to incorporate it into breakfast tomorrow!

I'm officially a cook!

Ryan says that i'm officially a cook now because I burnt and cut my fingers while cooking today! Even though it was for something stupid (grabbing a hot skillet with my bare hands, and prying open the top of a can) its like a right of passage! Hahah.

But I made a sort of quesadilla tonight and HE LOVED IT! So much so, that he had 3 servings! They were incredibly easy to make too, about 5 minutes in total (including prep and cook time).

Hummus is really great on everything! It's good on fruit, vegetables, bread, everything! Yes, I said fruit!

Incredibly Easy Hummus Quesadillas:

Ingredients:

• 2 Ezekiel tortilla wraps
• 3 tablespoons hummus
• 1/2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
• 3 tablespoons salsa
• 1 tablespoon chives, chopped
• 1/2 cup black beans, drained and washed

Directions:
Spread the hummus, nutritional yeast, salsa, chives and beans onto one tortilla. Add the other tortilla on top and place on frying pan (I used olive oil to fry it) on medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side. Slice up into little triangles and enjoy!!!

Something that I forgot to add which I would have liked to is spinach! So if you make this, add about 1/2 cup of spinach, it will taste oh so yummy!


Breakfast this morning was overnight oats again! I changed it up a little though; I took 1 cup of my homemade granola (which i'm making more of tonight) and then 1.5 cups of almond milk with 1 tablespoon chia seeds and 2 tablespoons Vega Chocolate Protein Powder! It tasted amazing in the morning! Yum yum!

Totally delicious!

This morning I did a 60 min power yoga glow class from yogadownload.com and it was sooo hard! I was sweating quite a bit! But it made me nice and loosened up for my big day at work today!
I hope everyone is having a great  labour day! It seems like everyone is out and about tonight instead of staying at home and cooking their own dinners :)
