Three cheers for sunshine and sprinkles! I really thought today was going to be cold again, but somehow 52 degrees now feels balmy. PLEASE stay nice weather! We’re going to do a lot of walking today, so I’m very excited about that!
Breakfast set the mood for the day –
The Mix
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- Half big ripe banana
- Pinch salt
- Splash vanilla
- Honey roasted peanuts
- Great Harvest jam
- Sunflower butter
- Sprinkles!
- Coconut
So delicious. So much fun!
Have a flippin’ wonderful Saturday!!

Freya (Brit Chick Runs) says
Oh that’s so PRETTY! It looks like a bowl of melted birthday cake or something 🙂
Mega jealous of your weather – it’s cold and rainy here, and practically dark (at 3.20pm :/) grrr.
Elizabeth@The Sweet Life says
Goodness, that looks like an ice cream sundae! Yummo.
Kristen, Sweetly says
That’s genius! I love little bits of celebration on a big bowl of oatmeal. I always loved your crumbled bits of muffins on top. 🙂
Erika @ FoodFitnessFun says
That bowl of oats looks delicious. You should definitely eat this on your birthday! 😉
AJ @ Flowing to Fifty says
I’m not a big oats fan (sorry!), but I think sprinkles and a groovy bowl might make it as appetizing as yours looks.
kristen says
Kath, when you use vanilla, what type of vanilla do you use? Normal baking vanilla extract? Or is there a “real foods” version you recommend? I have heard that vanilla extract (the kind our moms used to make Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies) has some dangerous additives. Can you please, in all your RD glory, talk about this a bit?
THANKS!
KathEats says
I just use pure vanilla extract with water, alcohol and sugar. Maybe you’ve heard negatives about imitation vanilla, which is much cheaper?
Amanda says
beware! crazy game at UVA today, against the one and only amazing hokies!! 🙂

Looks like a lot of fun. Maybe I’m just boring but I like my oats simple- plain with fresh fruit. Then I actually can taste the fact that it’s oatmeal! Guess that wouldn’t make for such fun photo though.
