WONDERFUL burger

Spinning was FUN, Lunch was FUN, work was......stressful, but let's look past that!

I woke up a little late this morning and kept breakfast light because I knew an early lunch was in store, seeing as I had to be at work by 11:30.

PUFFINS + Multigrain Cherrios = AWESOME COMBO! :D Then came lunch!! YAY! Remember this post?! Well, my little surprise turned out BETTER than expected. I decided to purchase a bag of lentils while I was at WalMart the other day. I got to thinking....less than $1 for this whole bag? Why have I been being lazy and buying much less in cans for so long? Well that's over. Anyways, I wasn't sure what to do with them, but I bought them and decided to have some fun! And FUN it was! Afterwards, I was heading towards the frozen foods and passed by veggie burgers..... ***LiGhTBuLb***

N 'n D Veggie Burger

no preservatives, all natural, customizable ;)
And it was SOOOOO easy...here's the components:

• 1/3cup Black Beans
• 1/2 cup cooked lentils
• ~1/3c chopped onion (or really any veggies!)
• 1/4c Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs
• 1 egg
• 2T Chia Seeds
• Seasonings of your choice (I used Garlic Powder (I was out of the real stuff) and Mrs. Dash Table Blend)

MASH the first two ingredients

Mix in the remaining ingredients

Divide into 4 Burgers. (could it be any easier?!) I froze the other 3, wrapped in foil.

Oh ya....I cooked them on Medium heat in a frying pan sprayed with PAM for 10 minutes, flipping half way through.

Paired with Laughing Cow & Juicy Tomatoes.....and a Gala Apple on the side!

HOW could you resist trying this?

No really, HOW?!

After a long day at work, I rushed home and fixed some Tuna Salad Lettuce Boats. I mixed one can of tuna with Honey Mustard, split it between four romaine leaves and topped it off with chopped carrots. It was delicious, but I only ate 2 of the 4 because I knew that I needed some carbs to make it through my INTENSE spinning class that was full speed ahead!

So I toasted a Kashi Heart to Heart Waffle and topped it off with some all natural Crunchy PB!But before driving to the gym, I discovered this little guy! The lovely people at POM Wonderful asked if I would like to try their product and I enthusiastically said YES! I have not tried it yet, but I've got a full review ahead! :D

I can't wait to try it out!!

After a great Spin Class and a refreshing shower, I made a little snack.....

• 4 small strawberries, sliced {all that was left! :( }
• A Small Banana, sliced
• The rest of my Vanilla FF Yogurt (about 1/4 cup)

I only ended up eating ~1/3 of that GNU bar! I absolutely LOVED the texture, but orange in any other form than the fruit doesn't exactly agree with my tastebuds. I can't wait to try the chocolate one though! I gave the remainder of the bar to my mom, who thought it was very good!

Thanks again to Danica, who sent them to me!

**********

I made up for the lack of carb-age by ending the night with a 100 Calorie Popcorn and....a Cone of Fat Free FroYo (I am an addict!..Then again, I did stop at two small cones, so that shows some retraint! haha).

It's time to win yourself some chocolate....with benefits! :)
