I woke up feeling groovy smoothie and decided to make a hybrid bowl of cereal / SIAB.
The "milk" is actually 2 handfuls baby spinach, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 frozen big banana, and 1 scant scoop Vega Vanilla Chai. It was actually TOO sweet!
My "cereal" is a few Kashi Cinnamon Harvests, some Hemp Plus granola, blackberries, strawberries and a drizzle blob of Nutty Butter.
So much volume! But it tastes so good.
I promise there were berries under there!
Double up tea
Have you seen the new design of Google Calendar!? I think I like it. I think I like it a lot!
I’m spending this week in Oncology. Learning a lot. And I’m late!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
I just started using google calendar this week and I LOVE it.
Kate @ Soupasana says
Hey, Kath. I looove the Gcal changes as well. I recently got Milestone as my phone. It has Android operating system, and I LOVE how it just syncs with EVERYTHING – gmail, calendar, contacts!!!! I just had to sign in, and all of my info is on the phone now. I’m definitely an Android convert.
Coco @ Opera Girl Cooks says
Huh! I like your breakfast creation! I’ll bet you can’t even taste the spinach huh? Just like eating cereal with milk but with all that happy spinach-y goodness. And a fun change from a typical green monster. Cool idea!
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
LOVE that breakfast – nothing beats a meal like that!! Green smoothies in a bowl are ALWAYS the best.
Your work this week sounds interesting, I hope you have a good day 🙂
Morgan @ Life After Bagels says
That looks like it could have been breakfast for two!
Erika says
A friend recommended your blog to me and I must say, you have motivated me to eat healthy with some fantastic recipes. I will definitely be a frequent reader of your blog. Thank you for great ideas!

I love your black and white dinnerware pairing! And the green too, of course 🙂
Brittany @ A Healthy Slice of Life says
How do you come up with some of these meal ideas?! Spinach in milk? I’m so impressed, but a little nervous to try it 🙂
PS- I <3 GG! There's no way Chuck dies though, right? I want him and Blair back together.
Have a good day!
Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday says
I don’t use Google Calendar. Maybe I’ll give it a whirl. I use a bunch of other google things already.

I love the berry addition to your smoothie! 😀
I volunteered on the oncology floor last year and really liked it. It’s tough work but very rewarding too at the same time. 😀
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Breakfast looks delicious! Good luck in Oncology that can be rough. I hope it is a good week for you!
Jenny says

Google calender looks really similar to me… it did just remind me of something I have to do, though
Stacy Grows Healthy says
You are so creative sneaking veggies into breakfast. Thanks for the idea!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I’m still playing with Google calendar but so far I like the set up.
carrie says
I posted this post this morning to Ashley’s Edible Perspective giveaway aand thought I would forward to each of you. I’ve declared it blogger appreciation day at my house in Cambridge, MA!
as a perpetual yo-yo dieter, i found food blogs through searching out inspiration to help me get HEALTHY! I now work in schools as a counselor, and unfortunately everyday I talk about body image, and, fortunately eating healthy. Its just so important to me. I want to be an inspiration and motivation to my students and there is nothing more I want to impart to my kids than: its NOT about being thin- its about being the right, healthy size for you and eating good whole foods.
As an oatmeal connoisseur (you know I love my steel cut!) I stumbled on lady Kath’s “tribute” to the good stuff, and felt like I struck gold. I went through dozens of blogs before I found an army of favorites that I check religiously. Every day, I look to four women that inspire me and use cooking philosophies that I am proud to call my own as well. I now visit Kath, Caitlin, Roni and you every day as inspiration and my motivation to continue healthy eating every single day (and of course, my fifth, Deb over at Smitten Kitchen, because everyone needs some SEE RI OUS indulgence… that woman is a goddess). Anyways, thanks for doing what you do.
Kath says
Thanks so much Carrie!
Camille says
I haven’t checked out the google calender changes yet, can’t wait to though!
Erin says
I’ve been making SIAB for dessert–fresh strawberries, ice and vanilla yogurt–and so in love with it as an alternative to ice cream. Plus, I can make it at home so it’s CHEAP. 😀
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
I don’t think I could even mix a cereal and a smoothie but as long as you like it!
Hannah says
Ain’t ya got no rhymes for me? 😛 Have a lovely day at work – and hopefully you keep getting some restful nights sleep this week!
Joanne says
I just learned about the Vega line of products yesterday. Where have I been?! They seem a bit expensive.
The bowl of “morning goodness” is SO green. Not sure if I could eat something so green for breakfast.
Erin (thehealthyapron.com) says
Aww oncology was a tough rotation for me (my mom’s been battling cancer for years) and to see some of those patients was difficult. I literally had a sob fest after I left one patient’s room. Goodluck!!
ps. loving the breakfast choice!
Heather says
Berries are still too expensive for me to buy yet – but I cannot wait for the summer and fresh berries!
I love the idea of using a smoothie almost as milk with cereal – great idea!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Mmmmm… your GM’s are always SO vibrant!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
so pretty and green! i love your google tutorials…if the new calendar is different you should totally do another video (you know, with all your free time :))
Kath says
Ha!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
those blackberries sink like rocks!
Nicci@NiftyEats says
I really need to start using my Google calendar again to navigate through life!
L @ WholewheatOrbust says
Oh my gosh Kath, I am so excited and jealous that you are spending time in oncology! If you can, it would be awesome if you could write a bit about what you learn! I am curious about what cancer patients actually get fed versus what would be an ideal diet for them. I really want to study the relationship between cancer and phytochemicals and antioxidants. Its my suspicion that the diets given in hospitals are not nearly up to par with what would optimally improve the patients health. But perhaps I am wrong! Have fun!
Kath says
L, I attended a talk on oncology nutrition today and the diet recommendations mirror a super healthy diet in general: fruits, veggies (of many colors), low red meat, lots of plants, WHOLE soy (not processed), healthy fats, etc.
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
Those berries look so neat in there! LOVE IT!
Katherine says
your breakfast looks like a planter. I don’t mean this offensively; the green is just very moss-like and the brown could be roots… just think about it. yay nature
loreejo says
MORE COLORS in the Google Calendar! I think I’ve died and gone to (calendar) heaven! 🙂
Annie@stronghealthyfit says
Looks delicious! Oncology, huh? Is that a hard department to be working in? seems like it would be kind of tough, especially if you’ve known someone who has had cancer.
Alycia @ Fit n Fresh says
that cereal looks… interesting…? haha i’m sure it tasted good though!
