Oh Whole Foods, I Adore You

Hey all! Today went by so fast! I can’t believe it’s 10:00 already. I just got back from a fun night out with my friends,  Dara and Jessica. We went to the Cheesecake Factory and Whole Foods. More on that in a bit. First I’ll recap today’s eats.

Breakfast was this

Kashi Creamy Vanilla Hot Cereal with 1/2 a banana, peaches, and almond butter :-)

This cereal had 7 grams of fiber and kept me full until 12!! It was so good!

Lunch was pretty pathetic

Cantaloupe/Peaches and  Turkey on an Arnold Select multi-grain sandwich thin with spinach and cucumbers

I managed to escape the office for a few and grabbed some Starbucks

Grande Sugar Free Vanilla Iced Coffee with Skim Milk

My afternoon snack consisted of Guiltless Gourmet Blue Corn Chips and this

This hummus looked interesting and it tasted good. The only thing that will prevent me from getting it again is that it contains high fructose corn syrup. I noticed this after I bought it because I was in a rush at the store. I almost wanted to return it. I only had a tablespoon. I’ll definitely leave it for my parents to eat because I’d rather not have that additive in my food, thanks. The chips were amazing though!! I definitely recommend them!

After work, I headed to meet my friends Dara and Jessica at the Cheesecake Factory. I am truly turned off by the majority of their menu selections because many of them contain over 1000 calories. I managed to do pretty well. I ordered the Weight Management Grilled Chicken

The portion was still humongous. The whole meal contains 590 calories. I packed half to take home. Here is the description from the menu:

Lightly Pounded Chicken Breast Charbroiled and Topped with a Tomato and Arugula Salad. Garnished with Steamed White Rice and Asparagus

This was actually really good and light. This is what I ended up taking home

Now you know what I’ll be having for lunch tomorrow.

After dinner, we wandered into Whole Foods Market where I stared at everything and bought a yummy dessert

This is a Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookie. It was amazing!! I also bought a Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookie, A Jumble Cookie, Luna Bars, Z Bars, and Oikos. I love Whole Foods!! I wish there was one in Albany.

What is your favorite treat to buy at Whole Foods/your grocery store?

Have a great night!!
