A Healthy Way To Wrap

So I may have put too much on...

Breakfast: Healthy Breakfast Wrap

Ingredients: 1 x Bakers Life Wholegrain Wrap (Aldi)

10 grams Berg Sliced Leg Ham (Adli)

30 grams Cherry Tomatoes (Coles)

1 x Extra Large Egg (Coles)

30 grams Baby Spinach (Aldi)

*This breakfast cost: $1.45 and would last approximately 4 serves due to the amount of Spinach.

Love Eggs for breakfast so I thought I'd do a breakfast wrap. I wanted to use up some of the baby Spinach, so I thought it was a good way to incorporate it.  30 grams is a lot for a wrap so you may not want to load as much on and my wrap did fall apart, it was still good though :)  

You could even toast the wraps if you have a sandwich press.

Wrap it up and wrap you lips abound it ;)

Morning Snack: Cavendish Banana (Aldi)

 *This Banana cost: $0.25

Tasting Plate

Lunch: Healthy Tasting Plate

 20 grams Coles Simply Less Hommus Dip (Coles)

20 grams Coles Simply Less Roast Pumpkin and Harissa Hommus Dip (Coles)

20 grams El Tora Medium Chunky Salsa Dip (Aldi)

1 x Carrot (Coles)

1 x Bakers Life Wholegrain Wrap (Aldi)

65 grams Green Seedless Grapes (Aldi) 

*This lunch cost: $1.31 and would last approximately 8 serves due to the wraps. 

Hommus anyone?

I wasn't sure if this was going to be filling enough but it was.  I made the Tortilla Wrap chips the same way as yesterday's post (here) but cut them into strips.  You could bulk it up with more veggies, fruit or crackers.

Bowl of deliciousness

Afternoon Snack: Loaded Cereal Bowl

 50 grams Weet-Bix Wild Berry Bites (Woolworths)

1 x Cavendish Banana (Aldi)

30 grams Wholefoods Oh So Natural Nut & Fruit Mix (Aldi)

70 ml Paul's Smarter White Milk (Woolworths)

*This snack cost: $1.10 and would last approximately 10 serves due to the amount of cereal.

I wasn't expecting to burn so many calories exercising today so afterwards I was staaaaaarving!   I know it may seem strange to some to have cereal in the afternoon but it was a quick snack that is easy to prepare.  I didn't realise that this combination of the Cereal, Banana and Nuts would be so delicious! It was so good! This would make a great breakfast too.

Finally something decent

Dinner: Vegetable Cannelloni (Lean Cuisine)

 *This meal cost: $6.29

You should know my feelings on Lean Cuisine meals by now, if you don't they aren't positive, but I really enjoyed this one.  I'm pretty sure I've had it before, but it just has so much more substance than the other meals I've had.  I would have this again and recommend it.

*Total cost for today's portions: $10.40
*These prices are calculated by current costs and specials and calculated per gram or item.
Keep in mind that I'm also consuming about 1500 calories on average.

Glasses of water: 8

I wasn't even going to exercise today!

Exercise: Dancing and Cleaning

I danced around for about an hour today and then continued dancing around while cleaning and this (above photo) was the result.  I was shocked when I saw just how much I had burned off!  Can I just say, funnest way to exercise and clean ever. ;)
