Upped the Ante

Jul 13th, 2010

Afternoon…Breakfast, in a word, was SPECTACULAR!

I cannot tell a lie, but I am once again addicted to overnight oats. I was on the wagon for only a handful of days, but fell off again yesterday and this time may be even worse than last. Last night I took the same idea I used with yesterday’s oats, but upped the ante a tad. Let me tell you what I did…

Strawberry Banana Overnight Oats

1 banana
5 strawberries
1/2 c vanilla almond milk
1 tbsp ground flaxseed meal
3/4 c old fashioned oats

In the blender I mixed the banana, strawberries and vanilla almond milk then added that mixture to the old fashioned oats and stirred in ground flaxseed meal. It sat in the fridge overnight (duh!) and then this morning I added 1 tbsp of Nuttzo and a palm full of Nature’s Path granola per the norm.

The deli was balls to the wall today, but I managed to eat a healthy and satisfying lunch (after munching on a half of a brownie around 12:30)

Once we closed and could breathe a bit I made myself some lunch. I went with sandwich and salad combo and bumped up the veggies on both.

On my salad I had about 2 tbsp of honey mustard dressing – it’s a must sometimes.

The sandwich was on half of a whole wheat hoagie and had pepper jack cheese (which I learned today is cheese product NOT real cheese ) and a tbsp of avocado spread with all the yummy veggies packed in there.

Thanks to all who purchased a Measure Up Bowl while they were on sale. I know that you’ll love them just as much as I do!! If you missed the 15% off sale don’t fret – you can still buy them in my OpenSky Shop along with tons of other awesome products.

And don’t forget to enter my Snikkidy giveaway. I’ll pick 3 winners at random on Friday!

Gotta get Linsey off to dance and pick Regan up from school. I had a super great 2.7 mile power walk/run that I had to cut short.
