I was craving to get out of the office for a little while this afternoon. I decided to take a little trip to Panera.
The Lose 8 menu suggested a You Pick Two of Thai Chicken Salad & Garden Pesto Salad with an apple as a side. I was feeling really hungry & I don’t eat chicken. The make up for the lost calories I got a large salad with no chicken and no wontons and a large garden pesto salad with an apple side. I wish it was Thursday! I would get the black bean soup. Yum!
This meal contains 380 calories.
To satisfy my banana and nut butter craving I decided to have a Nutty Naner for my afternoon snack.
1 medium banana and 1 tablespoon Almond Butter = Happy Rachel. I prefer Maranatha Nut Butter.
Have you ever tried MaraNatha products? If no, I suggest you do. It is amazing. This is one of my top favorite things on the planet.
After a little jog this afternoon I was in the mood for some carbs! I decided to make the Lose 8 Chicken (Veggie) Sausage & Pasta.
Veggie Sausage & Pasta
Saute 1 clove garlic, 1/2 cup onion, 1 cup chopped kale and 1 veggie sausage in 1 tsp of olive oil. Add 1 cup whole wheat sausage and top with 2 teaspoons parmesan.
After dinner, I was in the mood for something crunchy. I chose 55 whole grain gold fish. 150 calories. =)
My lil’ baby was eying my gold fish too!
