Planning a Perfect Day
Hi folks, I was very excited about today’s breakfast this morning. It seems I have been going through plenty of peanut butter recently so I got to make Oats in a Jar again! This time I made up some porridge with scottish oats, water and some frozen summer fruits. When the porridge had cooked the berries had gone all melty and jam like so I decided a teaspoon of actual jam (black cherry) would do no harm!
Devine!
Last night I had been wondering what to take into work today for my mid morning snack and since I have loads of little peaches to use up I decided to try something a little experimental:
Peachy Tofu ‘Yoghurt’
This photo doesn’t do it justice, such a simple recipe, full of great ingredients, protein packed and tasty!
On my lunch break I headed to Lidl again to try and pick up some cheap fruits and veggies, I also popped into Aldi (the town I work in is cheapo supermarket central!) and between the two I ended up with loads of wonderful reasonably priced produce.
Lunch was a proper salad beast, I hadn’t realised just how much veggies I’d put in my lunch box! My salad contained spinach, little gem lettuce, yellow pepper, carrot, cucumber, red onion, tuna, tablespoon of omega seed mix and balsamic dressing.
Good job I like my veggies! I also had an apple.
Before I left work I tried one of the Clif Bars I bought whilst in London. This was Oatmeal, Raisin, Walnut.
I have been dying to try a Clif Bar after seeing them on so many US blogs, and I wasn’t disappointed, it was very tasty! However I’m pretty sure you could make a decent home made version with oats, raisins, peanut butter, walnuts and mixed spice.
I headed home for my run, as the weather was looking a bit dodgy I decided to do my run on the treadmill at the gym. I did 3.1 miles in 30 minutes. I popped to the proper supermarket to get some things that I can’t get from Lidl or Aldi, including these huge jars of peanut butter (think of the Oats in a Jar I can make in those babies!) and then came home and did 20 minutes Yoga for Runners.
Dinner was a stir fry made with Quorn pieces (bought a bag a while ago and though I should use it up), broccoli, yellow pepper, red onion, garden peas and courgette with plenty of ginger and soy sauce.
It was delicious!
For desert I made a protein cake with an egg white, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 2 tablespoons of banana apple puree and a scoop of chocolate peanut butter swirl spiru-tein. I topped the cake with a spoonful of dark chocolate dreams and served it with some strawberries.
The cake was gorgeous – it had a lovely doughy brownie like texture. I also had another apple.
Yesterday I was talking about my Birthday next week and how I have the day off which I plan on spending the majority of on my own. I decided that I wanted to have a really lovely day doing some things that I would really enjoy. So here’s my plan for the day:
What would be on your list if you had a day to do whatever you liked?

Last night I had been wondering what to take into work today for my mid morning snack and since I have loads of little peaches to use up I decided to try something a little experimental:
Peachy Tofu ‘Yoghurt’
- 1 block of mori nu silken tofu
- 2 small chopped peaches
- Agave syrup to taste (I used about 2 tablespoons)

- Get up and go for a relaxed 3 mile run followed by yoga
- Delicious pancakes for breakfast
- Pampering shower using nice products, do my hair and make up and put on a cool outfit
- Head over to Newcastle and potter around vintage shops, high street shops and the market stopping for coffee at a new coffee shop I’ve had my eye on trying for ages.
- Lunch in a deli I’ve always wanted to try out.
- Head home after stocking up on fresh fruit and veggies from the market
- Get changed in to ‘chill out clothes’ and watch a movie
- Get all dressed up and head into Durham to meet up with the hubby for a cocktail
- Evening meal at my favourite restaurant in Durham – The Fat Buddha which serves a range of Asian dishes (my absolute favourite!)
- Home to snuggle up with the hubby in front of the TV with a glass of red wine and some dark chocolate
What would be on your list if you had a day to do whatever you liked?
