Cycle was HARD this morning! I was sweating buckets!
But it was also fun.I planned out this breakfast as I was spinning away:
The other half of the GH Blackberry Oat Bran Muffin, toasted in the oven and topped with a dab of butter –
Blueberry Chobani with Blueberries and Flax
And that sneaky pear! (Which I devoured in about 30 seconds it was so ripe)
Plus coffee! I dined with the husband, who isn’t due to work until 11. We discussed baking 🙂
Despite being whole parts, I am very full right now! I think the pear put me over the edge. Calorically this breakfast tops my oatmeal ones, so let’s hope the fullness reflects the satiety (I have a feeling it will). I believe we are making ice cream in lab today, so I hope we don’t have to do a lot of taste testing 
.
See you guys after my date with Kelsey!
Philippa says
Looks delicious, as always! Ice cream taste-testing sounds fun, but given it’s winter it shouldn’t be too tempting 🙂
Katelyn says
Pears and blueberries…yum.
Have fun making ice cream today!
Ryane says
Your breakfast looks so different!
But still refreshing – I think “SPRING is close” looking at your choices this morning!
Lara says
That’s my kind of breakfast 🙂 LOVE it when pears are ripe like that. Great workout!
caitlin (see bride run) says

Charlie Hills says

Justy2003 says
Ice cream tasting? Sounds like a good time to me! 🙂 Enjoy your Friday!
Helen Colley says
I love the orange candle. Does it smell of oranges?
WEEKLY BITE says
I Love toasting a muffin in the oven!! Good Call!

Oh She Glows says
I absolutely love that orange candle…everytime I see it I want to buy one. 🙂
Have a great day!
Mara @ What's For Dinner? says
I have GOT to remember to get pears! They’re so good right now and I always forget!
Beadie @ What I Ate Yesterday says
Cycle scares me, I have a friend that keeps asking me to take it with her but I am afraid.
Thanks for the shout out in your last post!
Missy (Missy Maintains) says
Love the breakfast! The muffin looks so amazing!
Meg says
That muffin looks like it is the perfect texture!
Anon says
Haha Kath, aside from one lactose-intolerant friend I have, you are the only person I know of that would dread taste-testing ice cream.
Kailey (SnackFace) says
I love when pears are ripe and juicy (and messy) like that! Ice cream testing sounds like the perfect class 🙂
petunia says
Hi Kath!
Glad to hear you were thinking about food during your cycle class! ;-). Hee.
Okay so I have to say, I have a sweet tooth as well, and I am frequently jealous of the way the husband indulges in the carby goodness from work! I’m sure his metabolism is beyond awesome, and it burns right off him — but still! So jealous! 😉 I love baked goods.
Love sweet potato fries. I needed a little extra something in my lunch today, so I did a sweet potato with salt and pear butter. Happy VDay!
Penny says
Hi–
What is your protein goal (%) in a day? Seems that there are a lot of carbs, from what I have learned. Do you track that?
Thanks–
Penny
Jess. says
I love that plate! I just added pears to tomorrow’s grocery list because your’s looked very yummy!
Lori says
I didn’t know becoming and RD required so much cooking and experimenting!!
HELP!
How much do you guys pay for your gym membership?? I have never joined a gym before and I am afraid I may get ripped off!!
Sharon says
Oh my gosh, juicy pear!!
zestycook says
lovin the muffin pear combo today Kath!
seelee live (for the love of peanut butter) says
I love me some good pears. Was it a Bosc or a D’anjou? Just the sound of it is getting me hungry for my mid-morning snack.
I am loving your mix-it-up breakfasts, I have yet to have yogurt in the morning, but maybe as the months get closer to summer I’ll start incorporating!
Have a wonderful Friday!! Do the DANCE!
Allison K says
yumm..juicy pears are the best!!!!
Courtney (The Hungry Yogini) says
Mmmm yum! Blueberries are so yummy and so good for ya!
sue says
that muffin is still looking delicious! have fun making ice cream!
Danielle says
Ice cream tasting sounds fun!
Love your breakfast definitely looks delicious, hope you have a great friday!
Biz says
I miss my spinning class – my office moved too far away from the gym I used to belong to.
It was always hard, but in a good way! 😀
Happy Friday!
CaSaundra says
Hey Kath! You always mention making things in “lab” in your posts? What are you going to school for?!
Lauren says
Glad to know I’m not the only one who plans meals while exercising 😉
Blueberry Chobani rocks my world!
Bec says
I love how you have candle-lit breakfasts. Have fun in your ice cream lab!
Joanne says
Wow – did that toasted muffin bring back memories. I used to toast a honey bran muffin just about every morning for breakfast when I was in college. It never needed butter and the toastier it was, the tastier! I had myself believing that because it was a bran muffin it was OH SO healthy.
Betsy says
Do you mix the regular flaxseed with golden flaxseed? I do, and it looks similar to yours when ground. I’m not sure what the difference is between regular & golden, but I always mix a bag of them together.
Sara Winter says
How could you NOT want to do a lot of tastings with ice cream?!?! Then again, it’s my favorite food.
Sarah (lovINmytummy) says
Yes, I think its a little early for ice cream…even if it is Friday the 13th!
Leng says
omg, your orange candle is soOo cute! Where’d you get it?
Maggie says
Have fun making ice cream!
Amelia says
Breakfast looks great. Your baked goods always look so delish. Have a nice time at class!
Shelby says
Oh gosh, pears and blueberries are my two favorite fruits!
Have fun making ice cream!!!
K says
Have fun making ice cream 🙂
DaisyMay says
Kath not sure if you are a fan of top chef but they did the episode based on some of the best chefs in the worlds what they would want to eat as their last meal.
so what would your last meal be?
what about everyone else/
Jennifer says
Last meal? Shrimp scampi or ceviche (or hell, both). A huge Whole Foods salad (at least it’ll be the last time for their delish but overpriced food!) My bf’s turkey and lasagna in tomato sauce. Cornbread and biscuits. Chocle (large corn from Central/South America- kicks American corn’s ASS). A brownie, truffles and dark chocolate.
A calorie-fest!
Kath says
Helen Colley ,
It does not smell like oranges – a disappointment!
Penny ,
I do not track protein and never have. Most Americans get more than enough. If I were to track it, I’d aim for about 50 grams per day – not too hard with 15 gram Chobanis, tofu, milk in oats, peanut butter, pasta, etc.
Lori ,
Our YMCA membership is $75 a month for two. It comes with multiple locations and everything one would need (pools, classes, etc.)
CaSaundra ,
Check the Kath page.
Betsy ,
No, my flax is 100% brown. I think the inside is a lighter color. I’m not sure what the difference is either, but I bet they taste slightly different.
Leng ,
My grandmother, and I have no idea where she did.
DaisyMay ,
Oh gosh, tough but great question!! I would want to eat the following, not necessarily in this order:
oats (because I have to say that!), Barney Butter, greek yogurt, sweet potato, kale, Cold Stone’s Cake Batter Ice Cream topped with toffee and whipped cream, chocolate ganache (plain!), buttercream icing (plain), pecan pie, my wedding cake. I’m sure I could fit it all!
