What I Ate Today - Happy Spring!

In the spirit of spring, I tried something new this morning with my pre-run breakfast - I had a smoothie. I know, real ground breaking stuff! However, I am a creature of habit and I do believe it's important to be consistent with pre-run meals especially as my mileage increases. Still, I had an idea to try a Super Food Smoothie and it was super yummy, filled with good stuff and was perfect before a run.  Hey - it's nice to have options!

Lunch was this Chickpea Curry. I love the combination of veggies which can easily be swapped out for what you have on hand. The coconut milk adds a richness and the spices warmed me from inside out. I had this over rice, but I'm sure it would be good over couscous or quinoa.

The recipe I linked to uses sweet potato and here I used a purple potato which changed the color of the dish making it look deep and rich. So don't be surprised when you make this and it looks a little different. 

Dinner was this Quinoa Hummus bowl at a local restaurant.  It is vegan when ordered without feta cheese and I don't miss cheese in this at all. The bowl is fresh, flavorful and satisfying, even though (as you can see in this photo) the quinoa was not cooked very well. Still, I appreciate a restaurant with a vegan friendly option.
