Wouldn’t it be fun to slide down this spoon into a pool of oats!? Maybe for like 2 minutes – then it would just be gross 
I wanted to do yoga first thing again this morning, but Matt is working 9-5 today and got to sleep in. Then he requested that I cook him oatmeal while he got ready. How could I say no!?
I used this MojaMix KERF Rockin’ Oatmeal mix as the base.
For 2 people:
- 1 cup mix
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup 2% milk
- 1 banana
- Splash vanilla
Toppings:
- Barney Butter packet
- Cacao Bliss
Love the figs + dates in the mix. I also love the Barney Butter packets.
Pros:
- Portion control
- Easy to squirt all over
- Portable
Cons:
- More packaging waste
SO good and filling -
+ Tazo Cucumber White tea

Last night my run caught up with me and my stomach was growling at 9PM, so I had a bowl of this new Erewhon Raisin Bran I was sent as a sample. It’s pretty good! Not your traditional flakes, but more smaller, crunchier flakes. Less sugar too. Loved the raisin bites.

Announcing Real Food Consultations!!!
A whole summer in the making, I am super excited to announce that I have partnered with Mary Brown, MS, RD, LDN to offer online nutrition consultations!!
Many of you have asked me over the past year and a half for personal diet advice, and unfortunately I haven’t had the time or qualifications to work with you. But a new partnership with Nutrition Specialists will allow Mary and I to work together and offer online consultations to those who are interested. I will be doing the bulk of the work – using nutrition software and making recommendations and meal plans based on my food philosophies and analysis of your individual diet and lifestyle diary – and as a Registered Dietitian, Mary will be checking off on all of the reports. Since I want to take my career in the direction of online nutrition, this opportunity will be wonderful experience to build.
We’ve put together three packages that reflect different budgets and needs:
If you’re interested in a consultation, please note that I can’t handle a lot at once and will be scheduling them into my calendar on a first-come, first-serve basis. Mary and I will complete as many as we can in a reasonable time each week. So hypothetically if we had 25 orders today, I’d assign a few each week throughout the fall. Just so you know in advance 
If you’ve been wanting to get a personal assessment, hope you’ll take advantage!

Got a lot to do today!!

Awesome Kath!! Now you can help people even beyond your blog.. It’ll be a great experience for you.

that cacao bliss looks SO good!
congrats on the consultations! that’s exciting
Very cool Kath – how exciting for you!!!
Congrats Kath! thats so amazing! So happy for you!
That is awesome! I hope people take advantage
What do you think of the Stonyfield milk? I want to start buying organic dairy and I have a coupon for it, so I’m hoping to try it soon.
That’s awesome Kath! Congrats
Way to go on the online consults! Sounds rad.
Also, I feel you on the portion size vs. hating waste issue on the single serve packages. I found some single serve Sabra hummus cups (!!) at Costco and while they are the PERFECT serving, I feel bad about the waste.
Wow, that bowl of oats looks extra creamy and awesome today! Have you had much of the MojaMix before? Do you have a favorite product/ease of website use/variety/cost between “mixmygranola” and “mojamix?” I found another make your own granola/cereal company called “[me] & goji,” have you ever used their product? I’m very interested in how these websites work when I think about how I’m going to develop ota.bars further!
Congrats on the new business venture — I wish you all the best!
VERY cool about the consultations!!
That’s awesome, Kath! You really are one of my role models when it comes to pursuing my passions and finding the dream job that makes me happy.
Kath,
I’m interested in a consultation!
Just can’t figure out how to sign up & pay.
Help!

Congrats on the consults!
I want to try some of the premixed oatmeal. Sounds yummy!
Congrats! How exciting!
I tried that raisin bran a while back, hated it at first, then became addicted, and just recently forgot all about it…until now.
It really is different then the typical raisin bran, but I love it with soymilk, which helps to sweeten it up a bit. 
Wow, good for you! I wish you much success!
PS – Does moja mix have a mix for everything now?! haha
Congrats on the new venture!!!
The oats look so good! Love the combo of dates and figs too!
Cool, congrats with your online consultation service!! Meal planning is so much fun! I get asked all the time to make menus for people, I’ll send them to you.

It was nice to meet you at the summit this past weekend! I wanted to talk to you about your switch from working in the PR industry to nutrition, because this switch in careers is something I think about everyday recently! I will have to email you with my questions sometime….
Also, those boats look sooooo yummmy! OMG!

So great, Kath! When we chatted on the phone last week, I had no idea your goal to marry these two parts of your career would be met so soon! This is truly exciting. You’re an inspiration.
This is a great idea!
Your comment about sliding down the spoon totally reminded me of “Honey I Shrunk the Kids” where they’re swimming around in the bowl of Cheerios.
Sounds like the online consultations are going to be a real hit. What a wonderful idea!
I’d like a consultation.
Awesome website!!! Love the photos and great information-thanks,Betty http://www.geothermalquestions.net
Congrats on the new partnership! It sounds like you and Mary will make an amazing team and the website is lovely. Have fun with it and enjoy. Remember when you were contemplating even going for the gold in becoming an RD? Ha, you’re an all-star Kath
Hi Kath,
When do you think your recipe book will come out??
haha. I know probably not for a while. But I can’t wait for that.
Thanks to everyone for your support and enthusiasm!!
Sarah ,
I love the SF milk so far. Not sure how much of a taste difference there is between milks, but I def. like it. Then again, I got 2%, which is always a treat
BethT ,
Oh fun!
Ashley ,
Between all the mix companies, all of my mixes have been so different so it would be like comparing apples to oranges. I love Mix My Granola – it’s just fun. me&goji’s flaked cereal with chia seeds that I had was awesome. And I really like this Moja oatmeal. But I can’t speak for all the others combos!
Ania ,
I’m more a fan of talking on the phone these days – I spend to much time on the computer! Let me know if you want to chat though.
teresa,
It was the 2010 Weight Watchers book, so not for a year!

Congrats Kath!!! What a fantastic opportunity to get your career started. I have completely enjoyed watching you build your blog and business, etc this year ~ it’s awesome and you are doing a great job at workin’ it. Keep up the fantastic work because you definitely know how to inspire us all
Wow, Kath!!! I am so excited for you – and I love the fact that the packages are “instant oatmeal,” “whipped banana” and “buffet”
That is way too cute.
I can only imagine how successful you are going to be! Good luck!
Wow Kath-what a big day for you!!! Congrats! I remember when you were working at your old marketing job and just hypothesizing about going back to school and look at you now!!! SO SO SO COOL!
