Meatless Monday

Okay, so my whole day was not meatless BUT my lunch was! Ever since joining FXB, I have wanted to try to find some vegetarian meal ideas. I am not a vegetarian, but I do believe that our dependence on meat and our consumption of meat is too high.

Today, I found a yummy option. It is going into my food arsenal labeled, "Triple Threat Meals." These meals are 1. Tasty 2. Nutritious 3. Satisfying

I stumbled upon this meal while tackling the million things on my 'to-do list' for the day. Like most crazy days, I was on the run and had unfortunately not followed my own advice of planning my meals in advance. While picking up a few things for my husband at Cyd's Gourmet Kitchen They have extremely yummy food made from "fresh and wholesome ingredients." If you're in the area, I do give a caution that their counters are lined with amazing, delicious looking desserts. So, send a buddy or inject yourself with an extra shot of WILLPOWER, avert your eyes and get your food to-go.

Anyway, I grabbed one of their "to-go" options called a Mediterranean Healthy Cup. I loved it's variety, portability and great combination of flavors. Plus, it was really cute too! Here's a peek after I took a few bites of deliciousness...and then decided to share my discovery with you!

Since I ate the top layer (some spinach and halved cherry tomatoes) here's a list of its contents (listed from bottom to top):
- Garbonzo Beans
- Kidney Beans
- Pearl Quinoa
- Quartered Artichoke Hearts
- Sprinkle of Feta
- Chopped Fresh Spinach
- Halved Cherry Tomatoes

So, my plan is to make some of my own! I'll let you know how it goes and what I did for measurements, and a few tweaks I have in mind.

More on that later! Let me know if this inspires you to make your own portable healthy cups!

I am doing this and SO CAN YOU! Make it a Level 10 Day!
