Morning! It was so nice to wake up to a sparking house 🙂 I didn’t get to do yoga last night because I ended up talking to my mom on the phone for an hour. But I am going to hot yoga today with Kelsey!! Long time, no see or do!
I wanted a no-cook breakfast this morning so I made a yogurt mess –
- 1 container of Oikos (couponed!)
- Handful blueberries
- Half banana
- Tbsp flax
- Few tbsp Mix My Granola
- Handful Quaker Oatmeal Squares
- Tbsp malted barley
- Drizzle Almond Haze compliments of VeggieGirl – Liz, it’s delicious!!!!!!
The only way I can get nut butters to drizzle about is with a knife. And it’s still hard to get it off! [That’s what she said.] Any other tips?
Tazo Awake!

Zesty wants to know: Sweet vs. Salty? I say sweet all the way!

Meghann mentioned that Quinn mentioned that Old Navy, Gap + Banana are having 30% of for the next four days with this coupon. I think that’s a reason to shop! Sweet!

I’ve got a meeting with Mary this morning, then I’m going to yoga, then I need to cut the grass before we have the Great Harvest crew over for a party on Saturday night. Tonight we’re meeting up with our long lost friends for drinks! Better soak up all the summertime fun while we can
Foodie (Fab and Delicious Food) says
Have a great day!
Leianna says
To get my nut butter offf my spoon or knife I lick it off because it’s to good to just wash off!
april says
I have issues drizzling nut butters as well! Oh well I like getting big globs of it 😀
Angela (Oh She Glows) says
I would put it in a ziplock baggie and cut one of the corners out and squeeze it through! FUN!! 🙂
Help Meghan Run says
Nothin’ better than a yogurt bowl on a July morning! Enjoy the yoga (I need to get back into it, too…).
Daria (Summer of the CSAs) says
Oh man I do not need extra temptation to shop! 😉 Have fun with yoga and drinks!
Lora says
Oh, I love a good “that’s what she said” early in the morning. Thanks for the coupon.
Have fun at yoga!
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
Have fun at yoga!
p.s. just dropped the book in the mail! 😉
Holly says
love me a hot yogurt mess!
enjoy your day!
greenbean says
thanks for the coupon!
Its a TAX FREE weekend in GA, so this is perfect!
Lara says
I put my portion on a small plate and nuke it for 10-15 seconds in the microwave and it melts it to make it drizzly.
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) says
Hot yoga is the best! I always feel so detoxed afterwards. I’m headed to a pilates class tonight, haven’t been in years – eek! Mmm….melty nut butter!
Jenn (www.j3nn.net) says
It’s so tempting to lick the spoon or knife that you use for nut butters!! hehe

Susan says
Cereal and nut butter is SUCH a good combo! I think all nut butters are different when it comes to drizzling since they all have different textures. In my experience, natural nut butters are more runny than ones with added sugars/oils. Constant stirring helps too! 🙂
Tracy says
Spray your knife with a little bit of cooking spray.
Cynthia (It all changes) says
Yogurt mess looks great! I love just throwing lots of things in with my greek yogurt and eating. So filling and feels like a treat.
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
Sounds like you have a busy day ahead of you. Can’t wait to hear how the hot yoga session goes. It’s always fun to get out and do a group session every once in a while!
VeggieGirl says
WHOO HOO!! I’m so glad and relieved that you like the Almond-Haze; and thanks for the shout-out 😉
Ellen says
if it’s in a glass jar, stick it in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir with your knife, and drizzle away! be sure to lick the knife 🙂
Whitney says
Have a fabulous day! A yogurt mess is a great start!
Allison says
cooking spray helps honey slid right off of a spoon, so it might help with your nut butter dilemma as well.
Cait (Cait's Plate) says
Aw, love that Liz! She’s so awesome! 🙂
That nut butter looks totally amazing and I love the mix of cereals you put together.
Have fun yoga-ing! 🙂
Christie @ Quit Your Diet says
Wow, your schedule is packed today! Have fun!
Deva says
I do what others have suggested – heat it up for a few seconds in the microwave 🙂 My peanut butter is the easiest to drizzle, it’s the Whole Foods 365 Natural 🙂
Runeatrepeat says
Yeah, I am sooo using that coupon!
Andee (Runtolive) says
Thanks for the coupon! There’s always an excuse to go shopping 😉
Kailey (SnackFace) says
That was one of the best “that’s what she saids” in the blogosphere. Thanks for making my morning!
Mandy A says
I got the email for the coupon, too… I’m trying to decide whether I should print it out or not! LOL I don’t want to get in trouble with the hubby 🙂
Jessica says
Have fun with yoga 🙂

Madelin @ What is for breakfast? says
I would say salty not sweet 🙂

Hi Kath and everyone,
Hoping to get your thoughts, and unnoficial advice on something…a co-worker friend of mine went to her regular MD becuase she wanted to lose some weight, and he put her on a pretty restrictive diet along wiht diet pills…she wasn’t necessarily very overweight to begin with, but now she is so thin I can see her bones in her arms and chest…she looks almost skeletal, and I am worried about her health! She says she consumes 1200 calories a day, but I am a little skeptical.
I want to approach her gently with my concerns…but not sure how to go about it without offending her or upsetting her. Her son and her brother have shown concern and she’s not listening…also some people have made comments at work to her, which she shrugs off and seems offended by.
Any ideas??? Please let me know!
HeatherBakes says
We had almost identical breakfasts this morning!
I’m so excited about the coupons- a friend works for Gap corporate and I look forward receiving to those every year. 30% is a great deal!!!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
i say if a knife works, use it!
Natalie (Will Jog for Food) says
I say Sweet & Salty combo! That is the best 🙂
Amanda says
Bahah good TWSS reference!!
Just wanted to tell you that I made an oatmeal pancake this am – I was getting bored of my normal breakfasts!! I Topped it with ABU (half almond butter, half almond milk mixture) and sliced banana and it was AWESOME!!!
Rebecca says
I don’t really know how to get PB to drizzle. It’s something that still baffles me!! Let us know if you figure out a great PB drizzling technique! lol
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
Have fun with hot yoga! 😀
Breakfast looks especially yummy and refreshing this morning! 😀
Katey says
yum- that looks really good. I wish I liked greek yogurt 🙁
Denise (the apple hill adventurer) says
that just might be one of the happiest looking bowls i have seen in a WHILE
i really want to try malter barley, i hope i can find it somewhere! i think i would like it, because i love cereals and bars that use malted barley! i never tried it on its own before … does it taste anything like malt syrup ??
that almond haze looks dreeaammmy
Adventures of Alice says
Great looking breakfast. I’m in the States visiting and I have some Oikos coupons waiting for me–very excited to use them! If you’re ever in the Dallas area, go to a grocery store called Central Market–I went this morning–it’s amazing! Like a Trader Joe’s, Fresh Market, and Whole Foods all in one!
Kath says
Great tips on the cooking spray!
Christin S ,
That’s a tough situation. I’m not sure what I would do since I am not you, but it sounds like her health is at risk.
Amanda ,
YUM! I haven’t made them in ages.
Denise ,
I’ve never had malt syrup so I don’t know! It tastes like Grape Nuts.
Kath
Casey says
Loving the “that’s what she said!”
Blair says
I love Oikos yogurt! Have you ever tried Cultural Revolution yogurt? It is my absolute favorite. It’s very low in sugar which is so nice because sometimes yogurts, even the plain ones, are full of sugar. Anyways you should try it sometime. I get it at Whole Foods!
Kath says
Blair ,
I haven’t tried that kind and we don’t have a whole foods here, but I’ll keep my eye out!
