All Night Long

July 12, 2010

All night long there were no sugarplums in my head. Only these oats.

Last night:

  • 1/4 cup oats (less because I knew I’d add a lot of granola)
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp chia
  • Sprinkle salt
  • Sprinkle vanilla

This AM:

I think the peanut butter made it. I have missed regular old salty, crunchy PB!

Speaking of alarm clocks, Matt was up and ready for work at 6:30. I stayed up too late playing with my phone (found even MORE awesome features!!!). I’m totally sleep deprived :( Might need a nap today!

Thinking about going to 9:15 vinyasa yoga. Can’t believe I live so close to the studio. Makes it so easy to decide!

See y’all later!

Definetly do the yoga, I vote!! If I lived near a yoga studio, I’d move house and just live AT the yoga studio :D
Have a good day!

I wish I lived close to a yoga studio. I am at least 25 minutes away!

I would LOVE to live that close to a studio!

Now that song is going to be stuck in my head all day…”All night long (all night…all night)…all night long” lol…at least it’s not repetitive. :-)

I wish, I wish, I wish it would cool off this week so I could fire up my oven to make yer granola! Until then, I’m working on inventing a machine that fans me with palm fronds, feeds me iced coconut water and bakes granola.

I dug into some regular PB this weekend too…I love all my crazy flavors, but the classic remains the best!!

Did you get the brand new iPhone?! If so, PB has it too. Did you know there is a REMOTE application where you can use your phone as a remote for any Apple product? We listened to music all afternoon and changed the songs by using the phone. It was incredible!

If it is not an iPhone, please ignore this comment :) I am just getting back into life from my trip!

I am such a little punk. Just saw that DIRECTLY below this post you talked about your phone purchase! WHOOPS and sorry! PB had a tough time deciding between the two phones and went for the iPhone instead of the Google phone. I am curious to see how you like yours over time compared to how he likes his new Apple phone!

Your oatmeal looks delish as usual! I’m going to have to try making granola soon.

PS. Love that mug, it’s gorgeous!

Love crunchy, salted peanut butter! I recently switched back to the crunchy – so good.

Maybe you’ll have time for a nap today :) Hope yoga is fun and relaxing!

Sometimes you just can’t beat the old fashioned peanut butter!

I can’t decided! Oatmeal or smoothie for breakfast today? You’re swaying me to oatmeal, haha.

15 Robyn @ Frugal 'n' Fit! July 12, 2010 at 8:06 am

Peanut butter just MAKES a breakfast bowl. It’s absence was very much noted on my cereal this morning :(

Your overnight oats look delicious! I cannot wait to try your simple but terrific sounding granola. :) Btw have you ever tried Almond Dream brand almond milk? I had a coupon and picked it up yesterday with the intention of trying it out in cherry-vanilla overnight oats. The mix was quite tasty, but I felt that the milk was a little bit chalky. I have enjoyed Blue Diamond Almond Breeze in the past, and I feel it’s a better buy. Oh well. I hope you and Matt both have a great day! Take that nap if you need it. ;)

I haven’t tried that milk, but I”m not a big fan of almond milk. There’s no protein so it’s like water. Good for smoothies when you want to keep it lite, but not much else.

18 Kori July 13, 2010 at 6:12 am

I actually told my sister the same thing about almond milk the other day. However, I do like that for a low amount of calories, and I can bulk up my smoothies, OIAJ, overnight oats, soups, etc. while also adding in some nutrients. To be honest I wanted to use the coupon for a purchase of unsweetened original Soy Dream, but there was none to be found. :/ Oh well. Thanks for your reply, Kath!

New technology is so fun, but so addictive. I still cannot detach myself from my laptop. Have a great day, Kath.

Mm, I love nut butter in my oats. :) Overnight oats are the best.
I am also sleep deprived, but I dunno why. I’m having sleep problems recently :(

I LOVE your coffee mug! Have fun at yoga! You’re so lucky to have a studio so close to you!

I have just finished a jar of crunchy PB and it was amazing – sometimes simple is best! Although I am totally envious of the amount of flavoured nut butters you guys have in the US! Brekfast looks super tasty and nice and cold for this hot weather. Hope you enjoy your yoga sesh!!

30 Liz @ Tip Top Shape July 12, 2010 at 9:43 am

I keep seeing all of these overnight oats and I think I need to make them soon! Yours looked delicious as did your homemade granola. I love that you posted the recipe in your last post becaus I always thought granola would be complicated to make and I was happy to see that it wasn’t :-D

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Living close to the gym or the studio helps in making the decision to go. Especially up here in the winters when it is snowing and the wind is howling.

I hate it when I get so wrapped up in technology that I lose sleep.

I say a nap is totally in order :)

Salted PB is the way to go!!!! If I ever buy unsalted, I always add a touch of salt. Its necessary ;)
