Just want to start off by saying that if you’re reading this;
I hope you & your loved ones are safe right now!
My thoughts & prayers are with anyone dealing with this storm.
School was cancelled today, so no teaching for me.
I am staying safe inside with mamacakes & being productive with my to do list!
Also want to say thank you for the congrats on yesterdays post
about owning my own business- POWERCAKES LLC!
Along with Jill Hanner’s #plantPOWER POWERCAKES.
Things are really moving in a great direction & I can’t wait to share.
I also want to shout-out to my FitFluential family who is beyond supportive!
Today’s theme for #plantPOWER is Favorite POWERMEAL!
We all know that I LOVE my POWERMEALS!
Definition of a powermeal = a balanced meal with a clean carb, healthy fat,
and a protein source that gives you POWER throughout your day!
They usually look HUGE because they are loaded with a ton of veggies!
Then I add in a protein source & a healthy fat!
I post most of my daily powermeals through Instagram!
Yesterday I posted my
“This is what a #plantPOWERED PE Teacher eats for lunch!”
*Collard wraps stuffed with organic black beans, avocado, & sautéed veggies
with a side of the extra avocado (I never let this go to waste) & some raw tomatoes!
I blanched the collard leaves in hot water on the stove for 1 minute
& then immediately put them into cold water!
Stored them in a plastic baggie over night,
then stuffed & wrapped up in foil for lunch!
Before my #plantPOWER lunch;
I started my day with quick 5am lift sesh (chest & triceps),
then off to teach, zumba with my students,
& then a little more cardio after school
(for no reason other than I had so much energy!)
truly plantPOWERED 
After my on-the-go day; this POWERMEAL was EPIC!!
*channeling my inner Heather with some Roasted KALE CHIPS
(chopped kale sprayed with coconut oil spray
with sprinkle of nutritional yeast & Himalayan Pink Salt
into the oven for about 15 minutes at 350)
Topped with red onion, kalamata olives, roasted brussels,
roasted kabocha squash, sundried tomatoes,
& protein packed Kale Hemp Pesto!
Oh. em. gee.
this combo was amazinggggg.

i love those tomatoes!! My favorite powermeal is oatmeal or protein ice cream!
I have to comment to give Muir Glen a shout out for making fantastic no salt added tomato paste. It allowed me to make the competition prep-legal BBQ sauce I posted on Monday. Life saver.
My favorite powermeal is a tempeh and veggie stir fry
my favorite powermeal is what I’m having today for lunch (basically a ton of awesome stuff just thrown together haha): quinoa, teriyaki tempeh, cucumber, tomatoes, broccoli cole slaw, celery, and hummus!
I make quinoa with mushrooms cherry tomatos celery and whatever else left in my fridge
My favorite power meal has to be some sort of roasted squash with tofu!
I tweeted

And my favorite powermeal would have to be a giant salad with just about everything in it – some squash, avocado, beans, veggies, you name it!
i love fire roasted tomatoes! i always add them to “powerbowls!” i love doing a mock burrito bowl and add tomatoes as my “salsa” sometimes! so good!!
My favorite powermeal is a HUGE salad loaded with nuts, seeds, veggies & protein! mmmmm! I could never get sick of a good old POWERbowl!!
i don’t have a set favorite powermeal — i’m like you, to me a powermeal is throwing a bunch of healthy veggies and protein in a bowl and mixing it up, experimenting with different flavor combos!
today i’m having a powermeal/powerbowl for lunch — plan to post on instagram later: romaine and cabbage, chick peas, vegan “salami” slices, hot pickled cherry peppers, hearts of palm and artichoke hearts, red onion, cucumber, tomato, olive oil and lemon juice! kind of italian antipasto-type flavors, but in a vegan salad — fantastic!
i LOVE muir glen tomatoes (use the diced ones with chilies all the time in my veggie chili recipe!) and would be thrilled to win this… you guys are really outdoing yourselves with these amazing giveaways! rock on
My powermeal is Kale salad with olive oil and lemon dressing with tuna and avocado.
My favorite powermeal is a pizza made with cauliflower crust and loaded with veggies and a side salad loaded with more veggies.
I enjoy starting the day with a hearty bowl of oatmeal with a sliced banana, cranberries and raisins and add a shake of cinnamon on top too! Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite powermeal is quinoa, lentils, peppers, spinach, cucumbers and green onions mixed together greek style with lemon juice, oregano and olive oil!
My favorite powermeal has got to be my huge salad I eat everyday. It’s always different, but today it’s Mixed greens, tomato, hard boiled eggs, kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, bell peppers, mushrooms and pepitas!
Mmmm powermeal: Spinach salad w/sauteed tofu and roasted butternut squash and apples (dressed with a drizzle of olive oil). My dog loves it, too! (Really.)
My favorite powermeal is a Mexican fiesta bowl: black beans, tomatoes, corn, cilantro, peppers and avocado!
My favorite powermeal this week is my spinach and kale salad w/ tons of veggies & your creamy tahini nooch sauce!
I tweeted! https://twitter.com/BarrAndTable/status/263370116073414658
Super easy power meal, with the right prep … brown rice, brown beans topped with Muir Glen Fire Roasted tomatoes!
My powermeal healthy chili, with chickpeas and avocado
I’m a big fan of pretty much any powermeal. I especially love any combo that includes kale, quinoa, green peas, and cashews. And carrots. And brussels sprouts. And… pretty much everything
My power meal would have to be a bowl bowl filled with roasted bussel sprouts, kabocha squash, zucchini, red bell peppers, spinach, topped with fried eggs, avocado, a good sprinkle of nooch all covered in olive oil!
Love making raw zucchini noodles with a homemade tomato marinara sauce!
My favorite powermeal is a massive salad with plenty of plant protein toppings!
Mmmmmmmmm! You’ve already given me some great ideas. Right now, my favorite power meal is sauteed (in olive oil) onion, fresh garlic, zucchini, yellow summer squash, red bell pepper and one Smoked Apple Sage Field Roast (vegan) sausage link diced. I add a little bit of Goya Recaito (cilantro based seasoning) towards the end, along with a little salt and freshly ground pepper. Then I spoon it onto a small bed of brown and wild rice that I cook up in advance for the week. The Field Roast has 26 grams of protein per link and only 240 calories – and none of it is soy protein. I like to chow down on this an hour or two before I work out with my Hubby because it keeps me going.
BTW, have you tried Muir Glen’s split pea soup. It’s to die for! I eat a couple cans each week. Makes a great quickie lunch.
My favorite power meal is a veggie burger with an avocado and fresh tomatoes and spinach on top! Yum!
Tweeted too! Thank you so much! https://twitter.com/Serene_streams/status/263444292759060481
Oat bran w chia seeds and pb flour!
My favorite powermeal is a huge plate of mixed greens with lots of veggies, some protein and cooked cold chunks of squash, drizzled with EVOO and balsamic vinegar and chopped fresh herbs.
And I tweeted!
Chocolate, banana, cinnamon, and nutella smoothie after a workout! It’s the only thing that tames my hunger.
My go-to power meal is a big hot pot of veggie chili – perfect for those cold winter nights! Loaded with tomatoes of course!
Muir Glen is the only tomato product I buy! I love their stuff! I have different favorite powermeals for ever season. of course in the fall it is a wonderful batch of homemade soup filled with veggies, quinoa, protein, and topped with avocado!
I tweeted!
my favourite powermeal would be a biiiig salad with a lotof things thrown in it: carrots, kale, mushrooms, soy, tofu and cucumber is my favourite mix!
my favorite power meal would have to be squash stuffed with quinoa-even my husband likes it!
