Mornin’. I woke up at 8 this morning with a slight headache and lots of stiffness. I of course turned to my remedies: yoga + oatmeal. I did 45 minutes Yoga For Runners, which I like a lot. My stiffness is gone, headache pending.
By the time I was finished with yoga it was 9:00. Since I’ve got lunch and a movie with my girlfriends today, I knew time would be tight. I asked the husband if he’d rather make breakfast or go for a short run. He chose breakfast. The run can wait 🙂 I’m planning to bike to the movie and walk to the grocery store, so I might just skip a run to avoid taking a second shower.
The topping spotlight today was on this Cocoa Pistachio ProBar. I like these more and more with each new flavor I tried. I love how they are like a bunch of seeds compressed together – they crumble easily and have lots of fun little pieces to chew.
The mix:
- 1/3 cup oats, vanilla soy milk, water, 1/2 small banana, 2 tbsp wheatberries, pinch salt, splash vanilla, 1.5-ish tbsp raisins
- ~1/4 ProBar
- 1/2 tbsp flax
- A few butterscotch chips
- Spoonful EF PB
We shared a French press, so I had about 3/4 a cup of cafe –
Off to shower, walk to HT, bike to movie and Dean & Deluca. Have a super Sunday 😎

What kind of butterscotch chips do you use? I checked some out at my grocery store and they all had trans fat (partially hydrogenated oil) in them…

Enjoy your movie!

Your oatmeal bowls are always a source of inspiration for me! I never thought to stick a flower in the middle though… should try it next time 😉
Have a great Sunday!
Sarah (lovINmytummy) says
Love pistachios!!! Hope your movie doesn’t suck. I HATE that!
Betsy in Pittsburgh says
Interesting ProBar flavor… I’ve tried a few but not that one. I haven’t been too crazy about them, but I can see how they’d be good in small doses as a topper.
Miche says
Kath, why do you add salt to your oatmeal? Can anyone tell me the effect of salt, and if we can skip it.
Briana says
Hope you feel better, and I love your bowl and place-mat.
brandi says
Oh, I’m so jealous of Dean &Deluca! I’ve never been.

Anna says
I love the idea of butterscotch chips on oatmeal- they’re so flavorful that I bet a couple morsels really goes a long way!
Speaking of oatmeal..I gave you an oatmeal shout-out in my post today- check it out! 🙂
Meg says
Enjoy your day and the movie! Love the oats!
Courtney (The Hungry Yogini) says
Yum-o! Hope you enjoyed your girl’s day!
Kath says
Katie ,
Unfortunately my butterscotch chips have partially hydrogenated.. in them too. I didn’t realize this until I had opened them! I’ll finish the bag, but not sure I’ll buy them again.
Miche ,
You can definitely skip the salt. It’s more to bring out the flavor, as salt is known as a flavor enhancer. I don’t really taste it, but I notice my oats are blander when it’s missing.
