Good Morning!
WIAW
(This is actually what I ate on Monday)
Thanks Jenn for hosting!
Breakfast:
I made a new version of the Microwave English Muffin today. The Microwaveable English Muffin that I used to make like 5 times a week was awesome but I always had extra “bread” and I ended up throwing some of it away half of the time- how wasteful!
So today I just changed up some of the ingredients a little bit. I used less almond flour and egg, but that’s about the only differences!
Paleo English Muffin
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons almond flour
1 egg white (the real thing)
pinch salt
1 tbsp melted butter
1/2 tsp baking powder
Directions:
Mix all ingredients together into a bowl. Pour batter into a separate bowl that is sprayed with non stick cooking spray. Microwave for 90 seconds. Let cool before cutting. Toast if desired!
I also had 1/2 of a grapefruit.
This particular grapefruit is from straight from Florida and it was the best one I’ve ever had. It was SO juicy and wasn’t too tart.
Lunch:
Veggie salad with avocado, topped with a fried egg. Strawberries on the side.
Snacks:
Apple
Berry Protein Loaf with a scoop of almond butter
Cadbury Egg – I couldn’t resist!
Dinner:
I didn’t have all the ingredients so I changed it up a bit:
1 Medium sized squash (cooked)
1 egg white
2 handfuls of spinach
2 oz. feta cheese
spices: basil, oregano, s&p, garlic powder
Bake for 40 Minutes.
Dessert:
A Warm Cinnamon Roll- Well Kind of 🙂
A Quest Protein Bar– Cinnamon Roll flavor- warmed in microwave for 15 seconds 🙂
I hope your WIAW was as tasty as mine!
PS. Don’t forget to enter the Albion Fit Go Long Crew Giveaway! I will pick a winner on Thursday!

Oooo Cadbury Eggs…they get me every time. My favorite Easter candy, though, is the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup eggs. I swear those babies have 3x as much peanut butter as the original ones!

Cadbury cream eggs are the best, especially the commercials, haha, goo, gooooooo! Good call on the egg on top of the salad too, yolk makes the best dressing!

I’ve heard a lot about Quest bars… would you say they’re your favorite protein bar or would you recommend others?

They are one of my favorites. I dont eat a ton of protein bars, but when I do the others I like are Luna Bars (blueberry), Think Thin, and the KIND+protein. I try to eat bars with <10 grams of sugar.

Oh cadbury eggs are the jam! I’ve been trying to resist them since they hit shelves a few weeks ago. It is a losing battle though. lol

LOVE your paleo english muffin – so easy and so satisfying… totally kills my craving for white bread when I have one…. Loving making this in the morning and putting almond butter and a tiny bit of fruit on the top. Even put bacon on it once… SO GOOD 🙂 thanks for the FAST QUICK idea :)))
