I have to be at work at 9:30, so I got up at 6:30 this AM to get in a workout first. 6:30 turned into a 7:30 departure, so I’m scrambling a bit to get going.
I was hungry when I awoke, so I had this banana + AB combo for 1st breakfast. I want to be like Polly!!
I biked to the gym, and was surprised to find it rather chilly outside!!! Only about 67*. Once there I did 30 mins on the elliptical and was going to do some lifting but I ran out of time, so I headed home.
I couldn’t decide what to have for breakfast. There are too many good options!! I finally decided on oatmeal, since it has been a while.
Remember Probar oats!? I found one in my cabinet.
The mix:
- 1/4 cup oat bran
- 1/4 cup oatmeal
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 banana
- Vanilla + cinnamon
- ~1 tbsp crumbled ProBar
- Spoonful Barney Butter
With ice water to balance the heat

As I sit here hungry… I am wishing I had that bowl of oatmeal! Nice one kath
zest!
Have a great day at work! Those oats should sure keep you going
That bowl of oatmeal looks delicious!! Have a great day!
Perfect pre- and post- workout foods! Bananas and AB are just so darn good together.
Good luck at work today!
Have a nice day!
Oatmeal looks awesome! Still need to get my hands on one of those Pro bars!
Bananas and A/P Butter are delicious! Only tried them with pb though, but I’m sure ab is great
Your oatmeal, as always, looks amazing!
<3 jess
Have a good work day! Your morning scramble today is something I admittedly do almost everyday….
I hear ya on the hectic morning…I barely arrived to work on time today! I love bananas and nut butter….I have a bagel with almond butter, banana, and honey for dinner more often than I’d like to admit
Pro Bar oats look amazing! <3
I love Polly breakfasts! It amazes me how much AB and a banana can fill me up!
What brand do you think is the best AB for your buck?
I have tried Trader Joe’s brand but it’s a wee bit of hike to get it for me.
What a good idea for a fund raising project! Heading over. . .
Busy lady! Crumbling a Pro Bar on top of your oats is a great idea, will have to try that when the weather gets cooler and I start eating oats again every morning.
Have a good day!
I couldn’t decide on breakfast either but I ended up going with oatmeal too!
Delicious oats!
Have a great day at work!
mm, i always mean to try mixing oat bran and regular oats. maybe tomorrow.
I’ve missed your oatmeal photos! Looks like a delicious bowl!!
have a great day at work! I still haven’t tried those pro bars, but all the flavors sound great.
mmm Almond Butter and Banana, my fav combo!!
Hey Kath, oats are cool. They are a recommendation for the Gold Coast Diet.
have fun at work kath!
Mmm…I need to have oatmeal again, too. I’ve been focusing more on colder breakfasts, but it’s time to make my old favorite again.

Your morning at the gym sounded like mine sounds all the time. I hate being rushed to get in my workout. I have to get up at 4:45 just to get everything in in the morning before I have to be at work at 8am. Ugh! Your breakfast sounds delish.
67* is chilly?! Haha! Here in Michigan, that would be considered nice…borderlining on warm!!!
Good luck with work today
It feels like Monday doesn’t it?
Nevertheless, here’s to hoping we both have a great day at work!
I’m drooling at the banana/AB creation… mmmm
Good luck at work today!
WOw! What a morning. That oatmeal looks amazing. I need to try it out
Crumbled bars are the perfect oatmeal addition!
Have fun at work.
It was 44 degrees when I went out for my run this morning…>WHERE IS SUMMER?
That looks delicious!
wow! busy lady! It feels good to accomplish that much so early though I bet.
Might as well take advantage of the cooler weather and make oatmeal. It just doesn’t appeal to me during hot weather.
Ugh. I can’t imagine eating oats in this hot weather! I am pretty much addicted to a morning smoothie, but your bowl does look yummy
Have fun at work!
Speaking of oats, I posted some recipes that you can take a look at
I think you will enjoy them!

I would love to see 67 degrees. 76 at 6am is just plain nasty. So is a high of 102. I should really move out of Texas. I can’t imagine eating oats during the summers here.
I want to be like KATH!

I reallyyy need to start kicking my oatmeal up a bit. Your always looks soo amazing!!
The banana and almond butter looks fantastic.
I felt like oatmeal for the first time in a while this morning too! It really is the best breakfast ever :O).
I had a banana PB “sandwich” today, too! Yummm
67F is perfect weather to me!
Jenn
i soooo have to try one of those banana pb sanwiches. looks to die for.
These comment on not eating oats during hot weather are funny to me! I eats oats every morning, 365 days a year for the most part and wouldn’t have it any other way.
ha, 67 is perfect for me too! chilly? no way!
Don’t we all want to be a little more like Polly?
Ah, nothing like a pb naner!
*meant ab naner!
nicole- chasing blue,
)
I would guess Trader Joe’s is probably the cheapest (esp. since Polly bought like 20 jars of it in one trip
