Today has been filled with so many of my favorite foods! I love days like this– my mouth and mind have been continuously satisfied and happy! 
Dinner looks like it’s going to be delicious, too!
Afternoon Snack
During my errands this afternoon, which included shopping for some new clothing for work, dropping-off dry cleaning, picking-up a prescription, and purchasing a video game for Mal (I’m such an enabler!), I popped into Whole Foods for a leisurely stroll around the store. I loooovvve visiting WF by myself! I can take as long as I want to peruse the isles, look for new products, and examine nutrition labels. I’m not going to lie, I really look forward to visiting Whole Foods when I have the time to browse!
In addition to a few groceries, I purchased some yogurt-covered almonds to tie me over until dinner.
Lunch
Lunch was a Greek yogurt mish-mash of goodness. I started with a container of vanilla-flavored Chobani, which I poured into a bowl, and then added the following goodies to it:
…a crumbled-up Honest Foods Cran Lemon Zest granola square…
as well as banana slices and wheat berries.
The mushy mess was delightful, zesty, and filling! Loved it! 
With ice water and an Adora disk…
Mal’s Snack
Mr. Mal wanted to share his post-workout snack with all of you. (I think he was especially proud of the smoothie he created with the Vita Mix Blender!)
In the mix:
- YouShake chocolate protein powder (Breakfast Shake)
- Chocolate soy milk
- Frozen mixed berries
- Ice

The shake looks so tasty
Chocolate and berries are one of my favorite combos!
I know exactly what you mean. If I’ve had a long week or an accomplishment, I reward myself with a solo trip to Whole Foods, so that I can peruse and sample for as long as I want!
Going to WFs by yourself is like therapy – it’s sooooo nice! Love your Chobs combo and Mal’s smoothie sounds yummy
DEEEEEEELISH!!
I was at WF too
Tell Mal his smoothie rocks!
yummmyyy!! i love that yogurt concoction, aren’t they the best?
I totally feel ya on the solo WF trips- I feel like whenever I go with other people, they always get annoyed at how long I take, comparing the flavors, prices, and nutritionals on everything haha.
I’m SO glad I have my license because my mom would get so annoyed at me in WF. I would (and still do) take hours just to walk around the store and gawk haha.
I wish my lunch looked like that. I have a certain veggies for lunch rule that needs to be broken!
Bobby and I actually have a WF date later today – we plan on taking lots of time to browse
mmm beautiful mess of yogurt etc! I love visiting wf alone, too — there’s so much to see (and taste!)
i think I want a chobani lunch tomorrow
I am the same way about Whole Foods (& Trader Joe’s) – I hate feeling rushed while grocery shopping.
I have to try a chocolate-berry shake sometime, that sounds delish!
We don’t have a Whole Foods where I am, but I definitely prefer grocery shopping by myself. I make sure I go on afternoons when I can take my time, peruse and read all the labels. I love it!
perusing the isles of WF is the best!! and those yogurt-covered almonds are looking mighty tasty
that lunch mess looks good. I can’t find those honest foods squares anywhere!!!
I absolutely LOVE wandering WF!!!
I love WF’s and would you believe hubby even enjoys browsing but other places he hates? !
I love grocery shopping, period. But put me in Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s and I feel like I’m in heaven. It’s so inspiring and relaxing
Hi Tina
I saw your blender in the shop the other day here in South Africa and almost had a heart attack when I saw the price! $1000! I’m sure you must have paid less, how much do they cost over there? And what makes it better than the others?
@Dee: They’re pretty expensive here in the US, too, but the company sent me one to try for free. It’s an awesome blender! It’s super powerful and can make just about ANYTHING!
