Puff Me UP!

by Cait @ Beyond Bananas on September 28, 2011

Happy Wednesday Dolls :) .  Hope there are smiles on your faces this morning! If not.. SMILE RIGHT NOW!!!  Even if something is brining you down.. theres got to be SOMETHING you can smile about!

 

If you can’t think of ANYTHING to smile about… (seriously… you know there has got to be one thing) .. at least smile for What I Ate Wednesday.  If it weren’t for the ever so lovely Jenn @ Peas and Crayons.. then we wouldn’t have this lovely part of our week.  And that would be something to be sad about!

 


So..onto the eats…

My breakfast was nice and puffy. Yes. That is right. I have finally caved and bought some PUFFINS!!  In my mix is Puffins, Kashi Puffs, almond milk, and a scoop of cottage cheese.

 

 

Lots of puffin’ goin’ on on that bowl.  Cereal can be annoying because it can be expensive… and I also need to eat like 75 servings at a time.  But I found this box for $2.99.  It wasn’t even on sale. I am okay with that price.

 

 

Barbara, thank you for your creation. I will surely be buying some more of your flavors!

 

Typical but DELICIOUS sandwich for lunch.. ezekiel sesame with turkey, sliced apple, and mustard.

 

 

Accompanied by cottage cheese, pineapple, and Fit Frappe Espresso Protein Powder.

 

Dinner was so broccoli pizza. Love, LOVE, love making my own pizza..and having complete control over what goes on it!

 

 

iPhone picture + less day light = crappy photo…

 

Snacks I’ve been digging:

 

 

Cottage Cheese, Almond Butter, and Sliced Bananas. (please note the container… yeah I’m lazy..)

 

 

PopChips.. BBQ! I am not usually a chip person but these were on sale so gave them a shot. They are incredibly delicious!!

 

Totally love trying new foods..something I don’t do too much, but I have been embracing it lately!

 

—-

Popchips… Puffins? Like em.. ever had em?

 

Best thing you’ve eaten all week?

I love puffins but I’m not a fan of popchips. Kettle Brand makes a really delicious baked chips that have great stats but taste like the real thing!!! My favourite.
I love puffed cereal. It’s got such a great texture esp with yogurt or cottage cheese.

I like both puffins (peanut butter) and popchips (original). Both are yummy, like-crack snacks!

I’ve only had the peanut butter puffins.. LOVE THEM! They were gone way too fast ;D
Making my own pizza is one of my favorites too!
The best thing I’ve had was OIAJ or my homemade pita chips.

I love Puffins! I haven’t had them in a while. I go through cereal fazes where I eat it for weeks and then I stop! Now I lean more towards green smoothies or oatmeal for breakfast.

Puffins are soo good! :) I’ve never had Popchips but I’d love to try them sometime!

My favorite eats this week have been pasta, cereal and lots of dark chocolate :)

Puffins are my favorite! I don’t eat cereal too too much because like you, I need a million servings to feel full, but that kind of one of my favorites!

LOVE popchips! i don’t think i could even pick a favorite flavor if i wanted to. maybe the cheddar because they’re the first ones i tried and remind me of my best friend, so they always bring an extra smile to my face. and it’s hard to say what the best thing i’ve eaten all week was. i was pretty pleased this morning with my yogurt mess, and yesterday i had yogurt pretzels for the first time in ages and they were exactly what i was craving, so that was pretty perfect as well

I’m SO addicted to peanut butter puffins, but I definitely eat them more as a snack than a meal. I love to do a baggie of them with Quaker Oatmeal Squares and chocolate chips!

You can’t go wrong with Puffins. They are amazing. I’m just glad they make two kinds that are GF. Also Popchips. Slightly obsessed. Mainly because they are one of the yummiest things that are thankfully gluten free.

PB Puffins + Cinnamon Cheerios = the BEST cereal bowl ever!

My company supplies a bunch of different flavors of Popchips in our kitchens and I’m not sad to say I eat a bag of the BBQ ones with my lunch EVERY SINGLE DAY. I looove them!

I love puffins, but popchips are not on my favorites list. I love baked chips, but I just can’t get on the bandwagon.

I love Puffins-the Peanut Butter Chocolate ones are heaven! I am not a fan of Pop Chips at all! If I am going to eat chips I typically just go for blue corn tortilla chips and salsa! :)
