There’s nothing I hate more than being rushed, especially when I want to enjoy a nice breakfast, so I made sure I had time for that this morning.
I planned a no-cook breakfast and made it last night, I made my lunch actually at lunch yesterday, I packed up my bags, and set my alarm with enough time to check email and blogs before getting into the shower.
So I had a nice morning!
Breakfast was even no-cleanup because I used the handy Oikos container as a bowl (NOTE: this is the 16 oz size!)
Last night I combined the rest of my container (~1/3 cup) with 1/2 cup of Mojamix (which has dates, figs and peanuts) and 1/2 a cup of soy milk (which I find sweeter than regular milk in overnight oats).
This morning I added a small ripe peach, half a banana, 1/2 tbsp each of chia seeds and flax seeds, and a spoon of Naturally Nutty White Chocolate Cherry Almond Butter.
The overnight section:
Tazo White Berry Tea – not a fan of berry flavored teas 
To the dentist I go!! Wish my teeth good luck. I’ve got lunch packed and a workout bag packed because I’m planning to go straight there after work (or it might not happen at all 
) I might try out a new Y location for fun!
Happy Humpday folks!

Great looking breakfast!! I have to try that white chocolate cherry almond butter- sounds delicious!
Such a great idea to prepare everything in advance! I try to do that- sometimes I do well…sometimes not so well!
Good luck at the dentist. Have a great day!
Good luck at the dentist!
I’m not a huge fan of berry flavored teas either, but wow do I love the Tazo Zen tea!!
Have a great morning
Great planning!

organization is definitely key to a peaceful morning. i have to have my relaxed breakfast time too! muesli is one of my favorite breakfasts, and always my go-to when i know my morning will be busy – no prep needed!
Great looking breakfast!
Good luck at the dentist -yikes!
Like the peacock feathers
I had fruit & yogut for breakfast too! Good luck at the dentist!
I love not having to clean dishes up after a meal
Good luck at the dentist 
I love taking the time to have a relaxed morning, your breakfast bowl looks good! Also, my boyfriend is coming up to Boston while I attend the summit. Are any other husbands/significant others attending (Matt? Mal? Ryan? etc) Perhaps they could all meet for beers or something while the rest of us are at our fancy cocktail hour. Just an idea!
I need to get better about planning out my breakfast – it’s always such a rush for me in the mornings!
I absolutely HATE the dentist… but I need to go! Thanks for the reminder!
LOVE using those containers – easy peasy no clean-up! plus, i just wash em’ and keep using them as tupperware too (and it’s free – with purchase of course
have a fab humpday!
I hate being rushed, too, it always makes me so anxious! I get up an hour earlier during the work week than I *have* to so that I can relax in the morning.
Have a great day, sounds like you have a busy one.
I agree – there’s nothing worse than being rushed in the morning! I got up extra early today so that I could have a no-rush start to the day as well
Actually, our entire breakfast posts are kind of similar! Haha.
Great minds think alike I guess!
A leisurely breakfast in the morning is my favorite part of the day!
Good luck at the dentist! This probably makes me weird, but I really like dental checkups (as long as they don’t find cavities). I love how clean my teeth are when they’re over.
There’s nothing better than an organized morning! It’s so nice to not have to rush around.
Good luck with the dentist!!
Good luck at the dentist!
mmm fruit and yogurt is such a wonderful summer breakfast!
Hi Kath,
I agree taking time to relax in the morning is so important. Enjoying your food is crucial to maximum satiety and satisfaction.

Yum, I need to get some chia seeds!

I am the same way about the mornings – I hate being rushed! I always pack my lunch, gym bag and sometimes even lay out my outfit for the next day (though not always).
Good luck today!
mmm what a great easy breakfast, hope the dentist goes well!
eeeek the dentist is always so scary for me!! But I’m sure your trip will be fabulous-o
I love those peacock feathers in your vase! How creative and gorgeoussss.
i love having everything done at night so there’s less to worry about in the morning. makes for a nice calm way to start the day.
good luck at the dentist!
Yummy breakfast! I love planning out the day before, it does make the morning so much more relaxing. Good luck at the dentist!
Good luck kath’s teeth! Be good at the dentist for her! Lol

I agree — I do not like berry, or fruit, flavored teas. Vanilla, green, and the basic Earl Grey and English Breakfast are my faves. Glad you had a relaxing morning! Great way to start the day!
Glad you had such a great and easy start. Gotta love planning ahead =)
Have fun at the dentist…definitely not my favorite place to go but ya gotta do what ya gotta do!
Hi Kath- hope all goes well at le dentist
I have a question for you regarding green smoothies….I am on the verge of purchasing some Amazing Grass but the one thing that is holding me back is that I really try to stay away from most anything processed (including breakfast cereals, bars, protein powders, etc) in an effort to fulfill my daily requirement with real, whole foods. The company claims some great benefits, but I’m always skeptical of anyone trying to make a buck. What’s your take on the benefits vs. the means? I am especially interested in your opinion because I know you have a similar take on food and nutrition/processed foods. Thank you!!
Muesli soaked in yogurt (fromage frais!) is one of my favourite summer breakfasts right now…
Good luck at the dentist!
Definitely a great breakfast to eat slowly and enjoy! LOVE that Oikos!
Good luck at the dentist and have a great day at work!
Hey Kathy, can you please add my friend’s blog to your blogroll? Her name is Danielle and her blog’s at deelighter.blogspot.com. Thanks!!
What a nice leisurely breakfast! I hate rushing when I’m eating – I prefer to enjoy my meals
Good luck with the dentist!!
I love that you used the yogurt container to make the overnight oaties! great mix!
Have FUN (ha!) at the dentist!
Happy humpday to you too!
I hope the dentist doesn’t discover anything bad
And your breakfast looks so yummy. I love peach and banana together. I can only imagine what it would taste like with that chocolate cherry almond butter. Heaven? Perhaps.
I love berry teas!!! So fruity
I like having time to enjoy breakfast too. I often wake up earlier just so I can get that quiet time in
That Tazo flavour is one of my favourites! It’s really good iced with a little berry juice and lemon
Sorry you didn’t like the tea flavor – it’s my favorite! I love it with a splash of milk
I’ve been having Green Monsters for breakfast everyday for about a month now, but after seeing your overnight oats I might have to skip a GM day for some oats! I’m with you on berry teas, I’m not a fan of fruit flavored teas at all! I prefer mint.
I didn’t realize they made 16 oz sizes!!! Looks good!
That looks great Kath! And healthy too!!
For a quick breakfast I’ll throw some fruit on Kozy Shack Ready Grains..
I’ll have to try this recipe
I am a no rush kind of girl myself. Tomorrow morning I have a flight at 6 AM, which means I am going to have to get up at like 3:30 AM to make sure I have enough time to get ready, and have a bite to eat before I head to the airport. This sounds like a great option for a quickie, healthy breakfast. Thanks Kath!
Also, I wanted to mention that I am having a MojaMix Giveaway right now on LiveWell360.com. I would be thrilled if you let your readers know that they have a second chance at winning a free bag o’ goodness. Thanks for the heads up on MojaMix, I am lovvving my concoction!

Breakfast looks great!
I hate being rushed in the morning…it starts my entire day off on the wrong note.
All I can say about your breakfast is…YUM! It looks super-good!

yummy looking brekkie! Good luck at the dentist
Yummy breakfast! I love overnight greek yogurt combos. I hope the dentist goes well!
Wow, I love berry-flavored teas- I won’t drink any other!
You are so good at planning ahead with meals– I’ve really gotta get better at that!
I love mornings when everything is already planned and packed! No rushing around trying to get out the door is the best!
Love that breakfast combo, perfect for a hot summer morning!
Ooh – I hate berry tea too. Doesn’t work for me!
Also, I’ve got to start trying the overnight oats method – it would save me so much time in the morning, but at night, it’s the last thing on my mind…

And I don’t think the others are either since we ladies will be so busy. But I’m sure your BF will have plenty to do with all the fun in Boston.
Matt’s not going
Holly ,
If I were you I’d spend your money on real greens like spinach in smoothies. The AG does have omega-3s and it is certainly GOOD for you, but I dont’ think it’s worth the cost long-term.
Honestly, I don’t really see any benefits to the grass. I didn’t feel a bit different. If anything you have more energy because you’re stomach isn’t full! I think they probably have a nice placebo effect though
Kath
i love eating out of the container…feels so decadent!
Ugh, I have cavity-prone teeth too, it’s so annoying! Totally feel your pain with that!
