Hello guys, so welcome to my What I ate
Wednesday, yes, I know it's not original but I've seen other people do this and
I also wanted to jump on to the bandwagon... So, I’m going to take photos of everything that I consume, people have
requested me to do this for so long! Silly old me kept forgetting but I’m
finally getting there. So, if you like these then please don't forget to leave a
comment down below, maybe I will make these a weekly segment, but we will see ...

Ginger
porridge? Yes, you heard me right! It's become a favourite of mine and I
discovered it by accident. One day I went to sprinkle cinnamon in my porridge
but instead I picked up ginger. Ever since that incident it's been a daily
yummy!
|
I
add half a cup of Flahavan's organic jumbo porridge oats, into a small
saucepan. I then add 1 whole cup of a milk, my choice is either semi-skimmed or
coconut milk. I let it simmer until it becomes a thick and creamy consistency and sprinkle in 2 teaspoons of ground ginger. I then add in a generous
squeeze of honey to the mix and stir it well. Once I’ve spooned the porridge
into the bowl i chop up a banana and drizzle a little more honey onto the top.
Bob's your uncle we have ginger and honey porridge. Please someone tell me I'm not alone on this one, or I have I invented a new thing? No matter which one It's a new found favourite of mine.

Yes,
I am a massive coffee lover, some call me the coffee connoisseur. I just take
my coffee very seriously It must always be strong and taste smooth. Other
coffee lover out there will understand me, I'm sure. Most days I have a coffee
between breakfast and lunch., sometimes with breakfast. It all just depends on
how I'm feeling.
|
Throughout
my day, I always try to guzzle as much water as possible (the more I drink, the
better I feel). It's always important to drink water as it has so many
benefits; keeps you hydrated (nothing worse than having a headache), speeds up
your digestion, kick-starts your metabolism and helps keeps your skin clear.
There are so many more benefits but, they were the few I could think off from
the top of my head. I always find two litres is a good target to strive for.

Sorry
for the photo It seems to have come out quite dark, but it's better than
nothing. It was a really yummy wrap though. It was never intended to be a wrap
but I didn't have enough spinach for a salad bowl. You can't have a salad bowl
without lashings of baby spinach, right? If you haven't guessed by now I LOVE
food!
|
For lunch, instead of a salad I opted for a wrap, I
took a large whole wheat tortilla wrap and added one small can of drained tuna
in brine, I then added the very few baby spinach leaves I had left over and a
dollop of light mayonnaise. Now I know mayonnaise probably isn't the healthiest
option to choose but occasionally, you've just got to walk on the wild side. On
the side of my plate I chopped up half an avocado (my favourite food of all
time) and plopped on 5 organic cherry tomatoes. They were so sweet they tasted
like candy. That was then all washed down with a large glass of water.

| This one was just made at home so it doesn't look as fancy as the last coffee photo but It was still good coffee. I always feel like coffee gives me just enough of a boost, to complete the tasks I have left to do in the day. Sometimes it feels like there is not enough hours in the day so, you must try and cram in what you can. |
After eating lunch, I fell fast asleep for 6 hours (oops), I had been feeling under the weather. Instead of having another
full meal I decided to have a cup of black coffee and a sweet treat of 3
chocolate digestive biscuits. I don't normally do this but today I fancied a
change. It was too late to eat a large meal anyway.
So that’s everything I hope you all
enjoyed this, What I ate Wednesday. Let me know if you would like to see this as a
weekly post on a Wednesday, in the comments below.
