Good morning boys and girls.
Today’s menu features a green smoothie in a bowl topped with granola and your choice of toast with sunflower butter or pumpkin oatmeal served with juice, milk or coffee.
And now for your weather forecast: today will be sunny with a high of 47*.
Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance…..
I took the green smoothie off the line. It’s a winner!
- 1 frozen banana
- 2 kale leaves
- 1 big handful spinach
- 1/2 tbsp flax
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 packet Chocolate Amazing Meal
- With Mix My Granola on top
I kept the smoothie lighter (omitting oats + cottage cheese possibilities) and had a slice of High Five Fiber on the side with Cinnamon Vanilla Sunflower butter.
I am so loving this stuff. The sunflower has this realllllly nutty taste, and the cinnamon + vanilla flavors make it like dessert.
SPOOKY GHOST!!! 
Can you BELIEVE today is my last day of foodservice!? So sad. Yet so happy. About to make this hour commute for the last time. Really the commute hasn’t been bad at all. I’ve loved my podcasts and the time to myself. But what really sucks is the TWO whole hours that just disappear from my day. My next rotation doesn’t begin until 9AM!!!!!!!!!! And it’s only 10-15 minutes away. Holy cow. I might go back to morning workouts for those 3 weeks.
Headed out at 6:30 for the final time!
Stacey says
Have a great LAST day! I am so NOT jealous by the way 😉 We are still in Foodservice, but on the plus side..we DID get to make (and eat) red velvet cupcakes yesterday…you know, just for practice 🙂 Woo hoo for no more long drives!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
Have a great last day! 🙂

Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
I’m buying spinach this week, because it’s been too long since I had a green smoothie. Mmm…
I can’t believe you’re already done foodservice! Time flies when you’re having fun.
I’ll bet your excited for the next rotation though. 😀
christie @ honoring health says
Enjoy your last day of Food Service! Time really flew by!
Madeline @ Greens and Jeans says
Yay for the last early morning! The beginning of your post made me giggle. I hope this school has kids reading the announcements, which was definitely the biggest honor ever at my elementary school!
Sarah @ The Foodie Diaries says
ooh, waking up is going to be SO easy from hereon out. i still can’t believe you’ve managed to fit in your decadent breakfasts on such an early schedule. i’d have converted to cereal mananas haha.
Christy says
Wow, I can’t believe the foodservice portion of the internship is already over! I’m glad you shared it all with us — a sneak peak of what I’ll be doing sooner than later!
Emily Eats and Exercises says
That smoothie is such a pretty green color. It’s to cold here for me to want SIAB but I’ll have to try it in the spring. Have fun on your last day. If you keep yourself on the same sleep schedule you’ll have TONS of time in the mornings!
Kristen @ Change of Pace says
Aww I hope you have a good last day! I think I’ll have a SIAB for bfast too 🙂
Angela (The Lady Loves to Eat) says

Amy says
Congrats, Kath!!! Enjoy the upcoming ‘late’ start!
Jenn @ Livewellfit says
Last day at food service, man that was fast.
I am currently obsessed with morning/lunch smoothies. Even though it’s so cold out I can’t get enough of my green, banana, chocolatey items! 🙂
kara says
Congrats on your last day! It will feel like vacation when you don’t have to go in until 9!
Cassie @ A Very Busy Mind says

cinnamon vanilla sunflower butter, that sounds amazing!
Haha I read your smoothie ingredients and my 1st thought was ‘kath the RD has no carbs with breakfast!?’ – relieved to see the toast lol!!
Have an awesome last day – life will seem so easy now 🙂
Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat) says
Wow, I can’t believe this is already the last day. How time flies…
Loving the Naturally Nutty — where I can find some? — but the green breakfast smoothies just don’t do it for me. Snack, yes. Breakfast, no. 😉
Kath says
Open Sky of course! Easy access 🙂

Jackie says
Hi! I’m new to your blog, and food blogs and general, (and I’m LOVING IT). I love to eat healthy and I’m an active college student. I was wondering what is High Five Fiber bread? It looks LOVELY. And if you can buy it, I’d love to know where.. 😛 And if you can make it.. Would love to know how.. 🙂 Have a great day!
Kath says
Welcome!!
it’s from Great Harvest Bread Co. where Matt works as a baker and where we are opening a franchise this fall in Charlottesville, VA!
Nicole says
So I’m thinking about trying that sunflower butter….I am a HUGE PB person and I’m just starting to get into AB but I find it to be a little gritty and a little bit of a transition. What is the texture like on the SB? Also, I like my nut butters a little sweet so I think this would be a good one for me to try. What are your thoughts? Oh…and I LOVE you blog! Keep up the good work!
Kath says
Based on your description, I think you’d LOVE it! The texture is slightly gritty – but more from sugar than from the sunflower, I think. It’s a little sweet and very creamy and nutty!
Sarah R says
Wow! It has gone fast! You’re getting so close to being the real deal!
Eileen says
Hi Kath,
Can you share the nutritional information on that Cinnamon VAnilla sunflower nut butter? I’m wondering about it’s sugar content specifically.
Thank you,
Eileen
Kath says
It’s on NaturallyNutty.com

Ally (Exercise and Pies) says
Congrats on the last day kath!!
I’ll bet you’re glad the driving is done… and does anyone know if that sunflower butter is nut free? That might solve my PB craving cause i’m allergic to PB and blogs make it look sooooo oooo good.
Kath says
I am not sure – I’d check the NN website
Kalli@Fitandfortysomething says
Wow the time has just flown by! Can’t believe you are done already. You think you might considering teaching now? Hee Hee….Join us crazy people!
Hannah says
Is the smoothie noticeable thinner without the oats in it? Or can you not really notice a difference? It looks as delicious 😛
Kath says
Hmmm..I think the thickness depends more on the liquid and banana ratio, but I suppose it was a little thinner.
bridget says
How exciting re: the GH franchise … I didn’t realize … what fun and what a journey it will be – amazing … best wishes!
Misty says
How cute – the ghost even has eyes! I hope you enjoyed your last day.

Yum; that cinnamon vanilla sunflower butter looks delishy!
Katelyn says
Hey! I’m a total newbie at blog-reading, but I am loving it!! Especially yours… right up my alley. This green smoothie looks very interesting and I’d love to try it… how do you make it? Just blend it all together and voila? What else goes in it usually? (You said you left out a few things?)
Thanks and keep up the awesome blogging!
Kath says
Welcome!!
Yep – just put above ingredients in a blender (kale works best with a Vita-mix though) and blend away. You can’t taste the spinach at all!
