Good morning!
This morning I had some breakfast before we headed out. Whenever I travel I always make sure I have some healthy foods on hand for quick and easy snacks and breakfasts. It saves money and always assures me that I have options on hand. When I go to Paris next month, I am going to bring lots of Glo Bars (as per OSGMOM’s request!) and Amazing Grass. Once I arrive at the destination, I try to pick up fruit to keep in the room too.
Split the mango slices with Eric…
We’ve gone through an entire bag already. I am thinking another trip to TJ’s might be necessary!! They are pure bliss.
I had an apple and then split the Glo Bar with Eric:
Yum!
We walked around for a bit and took more pictures of the city!
Today was the first cloudy day we have had since we’ve been here.
I don’t mind the clouds one bit because it is so much cooler outside for walking. Always a good thing when you are lugging around a SLR and a purse full of foodie purchases. ;)
Eric said I ‘blended’ with the flowers today. :)
Then we were off to Kramer’s Health Food Center. Thanks to @BDskinnyjeans and @cakesnale for the Kramer’s tip. ;)
Kramer’s has a huge health food store and a vegetarian cafe upstairs:
Upstairs…
We were very impressed…lots of fun options!
Eric got a delicious bruschetta sandwich for his breakfast (I had a couple bites and it was lovely!)
Sprouts, onions, tomato, lettuce, and bruschetta spread.
I was quite full from my previous eats so I got a large beet, carrot, and ginger juice. It was awesome and just what I was craving. I also grabbed a banana to throw in my purse.
I drank this juice SO fast and concluded again that I am not hydrating enough on this trip! I think we are walking so much (in the heat too) that I am underestimating how much I need.
A happy glow ensued.
I also bought some all-natural/vegan mints:
Very good! Minty but not overpowering.
More exploring ensued! Eric had yet to go South on Lakeshore so I took him there to show him the great views (I ran that way on Sunday!).
I had the banana for a snack around noon:
It was a fun morning!
I am about to do a shot of Amazing Grass Wheatgrass power right now. :)
Don’t forget if you want to take advantage of the coupon code for Amazing Grass products use the code HLS10 in the checkout for 25% off your order. :) My Glo Bar coupon code will be coming next week so keep your eyes peeled!
After I hit publish on this post we are heading out for lunch and then to the Signature Lounge. Apparently the 96th floor in the WOMEN’s BATHROOM of the Hancock tower has the best view of the city. I will see you later tonight with the recap. :) Have a wonderful Tuesday!
Ohh that shop/cafe sounds incredible! I wish I’d gone there :( and as for the clouds…yeah, I’m jealous. Could have used them on a few runs over the weekend!
Have an awesome day :)
You really do glow, Angela!! So glad you are both enjoying the trip, and thanks for taking us all on a mini-vacay with your photos and recaps!
I love your dress!
Have a fabulous day of exploration!
You are making me crave a vacation with all these recaps!
Oh my gosh your day sounds so fun! And tonight sounds even better!
Not sure if Eric meant it as a compliment, but I think blending in with flowers sounds sweet! :)
You did blend with the flowers! You look so pretty!
I’m supposed to start doing/taking/drinking wheat grass (not sure how to say that). I’m skerrrred!!!
What beautiful pictures! This makes me want to take a little mini trip with J sometime soon.
I always pack snacks/ meals when I travel too — larabars, fruit, and trail mix packs are necessary!
wow – Eric’s sandwich looks AMAZING !! Kramers looks amazing – kinda reminds me of Whole Foods or an awesome store we had here many years ago, Natures. well ahead of their time!!
I think I told you? but if not I wanted to thank you for sharing the Amazing Grass coupon – I didn’t get to attend HLS and this *sorta* makes up for it :) I’ve been using AG for a while, and just got Jason HOOKED on it – they sent me the new vanilla chai and he had more than me!! :) So we placed a HUGE order yesterday and saved a BUNCH w/ your coupon – thanks :)
Those flowers are gorgeous! And that sandwich looks absolutely fabulous.
Awesome health food store!!! I could have a field day in a place like that :D
What an amazing coincidence that you posted a photo of those mints (and THANK YOU), I had been looking for the name of the company during mini breaks at work this morning. They have an amazing coffee flavour that I can sporadically find at Winners, but have been craving.
Gorgeous flowers! And gorgeous couple!
That is such a beautiful dress! :)
Sounds like you’re having fun.
That juice looks absolutely delicious! I think I’ve not been hydrating enough either – so not good!
You guys are so sweet – just like that dried mango :) My purse has been known to have various pieces of fruit, bars, and sometimes condiments. And always a water bottle. I feel like I’m prepping for motherhood. (Which is by the way not for a few more years!)
The women’s room really DOES have the best view! The men’s room, however, not so much (or so I hear…).
the one of y’all kissing is too cute! i love the pictures…and your sandwich looks amazing!
You guys are too cute! I love all of the flowery pictures. :)
The women’s bathroom DOES have the best view ever!!! I tried to take pictures at night, but the reflection wouldn’t let me. The guys were jealous because their view sucks (apparently)! :)
Looks like you two are having a great time!!!
Enjoy!
