food what i ate: thursday

9.30am - breakfast

Juice and muesli-tahini bar (yes I finally made them!)














  • Medium fresh orange juice from Crussh on the way to work (it was free! Crussh are giving away a free medium solo juice when you bring in your London newspaper for recycling this week - so not only was I getting something for free, I'm doing my bit for the planet too! Win win!)
  • 1 piece muesli-tahini bar

1.00pm - cup of tea and a plum























3.00pm - lunch

Takeaway: mixed salad from Alara Wholefoods













There is a wholefoods shop near my work which does an amazing vegetarian and vegan buffet every lunchtime, where everything is sold by weight. They have all kinds of salads, gluten-free breads, and a range of hot dishes from lasagna to stirfries. Everything from there is always so good! Today, seeing I got there so late, there was just salad left - but that was fine with me because that was what I felt like!

My portion included:

Beetroot salad
Carrot and spinach salad
Carrot and puy lentil salad
1 felafel
Vegan hommous
Cucumber salad
Tortilla bread left in my work munchbox

NB: I picked out all the onions!!


9.40pm - dinner (don't ask!)

Homemade pizza and salad














My portion included:

  • Pizza made with 1 small supermarket naan bread, tomato and vegetable pasta sauce, courgette (zuchinni), red pepper, mushrooms, 8 or 9 kalamata olives, brocolli, 1 Tofutti dairy free cheese slice, 30g grated grana padano and dried herbs
  • Salad made with salad leaves, cucumber, avocado, sugar snap peas and a few cashew nuts for crunch, dressed with fresh orange juice and balsamic vinegar
  • 1 can organic lemonade

Thoughts:

Breakfast was great and kept me full until about 2ish, but I didn't get lunch until 3. Dinner was delayed quite significantly this evening - in the end I wasn't all that hungry but cooked and ate it anyway!

Looking forward to another fresh orange juice in the morning! Or will I get carrot....

  1. Hey Phil - So happy to see you are blogging again *hugs*. Have to tell you your muesli-tahini bar rocks!! A girl at work has made it and I have eaten it and it is divine - and so filling. I also had the muesli as breakfast this morning. I shall be hunting out the recipe and making my own soon.. As always - you are a star..

  2. It is incredibly filling! Ideal for taking to work if you don't have time for breakfast before you leave home. :)

  3. That pizza looks amazing! Love it that pizza always feels like a treat, yet can (in this case!) be super healthy - I'm going to make one of these tonight, yum, yum.

  4. 1ucy - homemade pizza is the best, and it is so healthy and delicious, you never feel like you're missing out! I prefer it to my "Il Crapporino" takeaway down the road (that's not it's real name, just my name for them! Shite wasn't the word! Enjoy :)
