Devilish eats

Today was quite the spicy day!

I was planning on a smoothie for breakfast, but when I woke up I really wanted oat bran so that's what I made!
1/2 cup oat bran, 1 cup nonfat soy milk, 1 sliced banana, 1 tsp ghee and some cinnamon.

Yum!

For lunch I packed this wonderful spicy creation:

With some grapes!

Soo good! Tasted just like it would if I had packed Indian leftovers, TJ's strikes again- another great new find!

I worked for 4 hours straight this afternoon!! Busy, busy let me tell you!
For snacks I packed a light string cheese I had mid-morning, and then a honey chobani I found (awesome!!) with 2 tbsp chopped pecans for an afternoon snack.

Late afternoon as I was waiting for my ride I had half of this baby:

Definitely my new obsession!! So sweet, choc full of all-natural antioxidants! 1 full bottle has 80 calories, so my portion was a mere 40. Not bad for a sweet drink!

My snack and drink held me until dinner, which was fantastic! I made an Italian favorite- Shrimp Fra Diavolo, which means shrimp of the devil because of it's spiciness!!

I made my own version, complete with zucchini and a side of quinoa, which I got Nick to try, and to my pleasure he liked it! Yay!! My shrimp recipe is following =)

Today was a long day, which is why the post is so short!! I still have a bunch of work to do before I get to relax! A longer post is to come tomorrow, I promise!

Have a nice night, all!
