I’m sort of obsessed with the lunch I ate today.
Yesterday, I bought a small spaghetti squash at the farmers’ market, so I cooked-it-up for lunch today. (Check out my post about how to cook spaghetti squash.)
After baking the squash and pulling out the strands with a fork, I added marinated artichokes and store-bought pesto sauce. The flavors and oils from the artichokes and pesto were just the right amount to meld everything together into a yummy dish. I’m so happy that I have leftovers for tonight! 😀
Lunch also included a High Protein Post-Workout Bar from Angela’s Glo Bakery. My lunch needed some protein in it! The bar had 11 grams of protein and tasted delicious! That girl can bake! 😀
The High Protein Post-Workout Bar is made with hemp and chia seeds, which are packed with protein, essential fatty acids, and tons of antioxidants– awesome combination of ingredients!
I rounded out lunch with an apple and some H20.
A little while later, a plate of tempting Cocoa Krispie Treats appeared behind my desk. I considered resisting the splurge, but then I realized I had no chance.
It was totally worth the splurge! The treats were wonderfully gooey, chocolaty, and marshmallow-y!
