No Meat Athlete Marathon Road Map Meals, Days 3-4

I'm back with another recap of my meals on week one of the No Meat Athlete Marathon Roadmap 3.0 meal plan. It's a two-week plan, and I'm doing week one now (and saving week two for after I get back from vacation week after next). I figure focusing on whole foods before my vacation will make me feel great about pigging out while I'm lounging on the beach!

Wednesday morning (day 3) started with another Greens Fruit Flax Smoothie with apple, banana, spinach, and flax. Morning snack was Steamed Broccoli with Pine Nut Hummus and a side of fresh berries.


Lunch was leftover Lentil Potato Curry from the night before (pictured in my last post). And afternoon snack was another salad (I have a salad every afternoon on this plan) — this time with roasted brussels, lemon-thyme dressing, bell pepper, carrot, and romaine.


I had a cocktail and a glass of wine at Art Bar at Crosstown Arts (where I work) before heading home since we had a going-away party for a co-worker/friend.

Dinner was a yummy and filling bowl of Whole Wheat Pasta with Squash & Tomatoes. This is a simple dish with sauteed yellow squash, cherry tomato, a smidge of olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.


Breakfast this morning was another Mango Jalapeno Smoothie (the smoothies alternate every day for a week, and then I'll get two different smoothie recipes for week two). Morning snack was Trail Mix with cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and dried cherries. I bought all the stuff individually from the bulk bins at Sprouts and mixed together!


Lunch was beautiful! I decided to eat lunch in the cafe at Crosstown Arts instead of having leftover bowtie pasta because I wanted to try the Daily Veggie Plate special with a Mushroom-Eggplant Stuffed Zucchini Boat with Braised Cabbage, Vegan Ranch, & Sizzled Kale (like kale chips but deep-fried). Soooooo good.


Another salad (the same as yesterday's) for my snack! And then dinner was Quinoa Stir-fry with Cashews and Orange. Love this dish! It's made with frozen stir-fry veggies, mandarin orange slices, cashews, and quinoa. Simple and delicious.


After dinner, I had a little Ben & Jerry's vegan chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream because I had a craving. So not on the plan! But I've been eating so well this week that I'm sure I deserved it. :-)

That bowtie pasta looks gorgeous! I love the food you're eating on this plan!
The daily veggie plate special looks almost too beautiful to eat!

Oooh yum! Everything looks so fresh and delicious! The pasta looks like it would be a perfect summer meal, I'll definitely have to make something like that during the summer. The zucchini boat looks incredible too! Yay for cookie dough ice cream! I really want to try the chocolate caramel cluster (or whatever it is called) flavor. That sounds AMAZING.
