Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
sure looks like a boatload of deliciousness!! just got some morning o’s the other day… looking forward to trying them out!
Allie@LiveLaughEat says
I hope your boat didn’t tip over! (too soon?)
Khushboo says
I wouldn’t mind sailing away with a breakfast like that 😉
Laura (Blogging Over Thyme) says
Yum! That breakfast looks great. And I love that bowl!
Veronica (My Eats and Treats) says
It’s beautiful!!! I always try to make my breakfasts as colorful as possible – such a happy way to start off a day! Have a good weekend, Kath!
Karen says
Ahhh..the appearance of your mosaic table and your glass ‘boat’ scream spring! Have a wonderful Saturday, Kath!
Jana @ Newly Wife Healthy Life says
I always love your pictures Kath! So simple and colorful! Looks like breakfast is a beautiful bowl of nutrition!
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
delicious as always! happy weekend, kath!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Wow, that looks incredibly wholesome Kath! What a great start to the day. I hope you have a fantastic weekend! 🙂
Kristen @ Change of Pace says
I love all the mix ins! Question though… How do you stay in control of calories when you mix all the ingredients? Do you measure each one out? I’d get carried away with a little of this and a little of that.
KathEats says
I guess I think of my breakfasts in parts:
the dairy (yogurt, milk)
the base (oats, cereal)
the fruit (bananas, berries)
the garnish (granola, jam)
the fat (most often 1 tbsp of nut butter)
I know from experience that this comes out to about 500 calories, which is less than 1/3 of my daily needs. Sometimes I have more base, less topping. Sometimes it’s the other way around. But most of my breakfasts include some ratio of the above.
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
My parents have a mosaic table just like that. very springy 🙂
Kelly @ Vegolosophy says
Looks Fantastic! So many colors and yummy things to choose from! I always love your bright photos!
Emily says
gosh kath. this is PROBABLY the most amazing-looking breakfast i have ever seen. seriously. as i was eating my eggs with spinach and bread this morning, i of course came to KERF to see what you had for breakfast this morning. and i was immediately jealous.
Leah says
Me too!! Yummy yum yum! 🙂
Lizzie says
What is soo good about chia seeds??
How may Calories?
Flavor?
I’m curious!!
KathEats says
Both texture (crunchy on top, gelled when cooked inside) and nutrition (omega-3s, protein, fiber). They are just like flax seeds, but actually have less flavor. They are pretty flavorless.
here’s more info! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvia_hispanica

~Christy @ wonderofallthings says
Love it 🙂 Such happy colors and delicious passengers to keep you company on the morning journey. Hope it’s a great one 🙂
Lexi @ Cura Personalis Foodie says
When cereal and boatload are involved in the same phrase, you know you can’t go wrong 🙂
Fran@ Broken Cookies Don't Count says
Looks like a really filling breakfast!
Lauren says
Looks great! I love the bowl 🙂
Tiffany says
Hey Kath,
When you make your oatmeal…when do you add in the chia seeds? (right at the beginning or when it starts to thicken up?) I’ve noticed when I add it right at the start my oatmeal is gummier but when its added when it starts to thicken its a nicer consistency.
Thanks! Have a great weekend! 🙂
KathEats says
In the beginning. That helps them gel the most. It is a bit gelled in texture, but I like it that way to get the maximum volume.
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
your breakfasts always look insanely delicious! That’s making me want some cereal and sliced bananas! Such a classic combo.
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
Beautiful combo of ingredients today…love seeing the layers…matches the pretty colours in your mosaic table.
Maria @ Sinfully Nutritious says
That is one big delicious looking bowl of, well, everything!

Fabulous breakfast, Kath! It looks so filling I bet it kept you afloat all morning!
(I was going to add another boat pun, but I couldn’t think of anymore.) 😉
KathEats says

Carrie says
Once I new what was in there it sounds AMAZING! But at first I thought you were eating stuffing for breakfast?! I was totally confused 🙂
Sarah says
You are gonna be the queen of getting your kids to eat healthy breakfasts…telling them there breakfast is a ship setting sail and they won’t be able to resist eating every healthy bite.
Angel7 says
Looks like you covered all grounds with your breakfast (i.e., protein, fruit, dairy, etc) 🙂
