So Much Pesto!

Today I tried to put a dent in the pesto leftover from last night. (There's still half of it left)

So here's what I ate.

Pre-workout Breakfast: Banana with honey and walnut again. It was just so good the first time.

Ran 5 min warm-up and 4 sprints up a long hill in my neighborhood

Post-workout breakfast: I added some pesto to my scrambled eggs which was surprisingly delicious. I paired this with some bacon, and halfway through eating I realized that I'd just made green eggs and ham. Except the bacon wasn't green. Nor was it ham..it was turkey. But I was pretty darn close.

Lunch:

-Leftover rosemary chicken which was possibly even better after a night soaking in its broth.

-Leftover potatoes shaken with pesto.

-Honey flavored greek yogurt. I've been getting into greek yogurt recently. (Hence not giving up dairy) So I've been trying out a lot of new brands. Today's was Fage's 2% Honey yogurt. Its got a really nifty container that lets you pour however much honey you want into the plain yogurt. -The honey was extremely sweet (mmm) so I only added about half of it. I wish there was a way to save the rest! It's probably for the best though since a comparison of plain yogurt to the yogurt with honey shows that the honey adds about 21g carbs and 40 calories.

-Lots of pomegranate flavored green tea.

Dinner:

-Pesto Shrimp and Tomato- yep more pesto! just tossed some garlic, shrimp, quartered tomatoes and pesto in a pan and yumminess ensued. Got the idea from here

-Green omelette- I enjoyed the green eggs in the morning so I decided to kick it up a notch and made eggs with pesto, green peppers, broccolli, spinach, and green onion. So much green! such a happy tummy.

Dessert: took some frozen berries, heated them up with a little butter, added some walnuts and consumed
