I wanted oatmeal this morning, but decided for the sake of saving time and dishes that I’d just eat up a “dry” breakfast instead. Dry breakfasts are breakfasts that don’t involve using the sink after!!
High Five toast with TJ’s sunflower butter, chia seeds and coconut
Leftover book club fruit (that I microwaved because it was too cold!)
And even leftover iced coffee!!
5 minutes to assemble, 5 minutes to eat, 5 minutes saved!

Ugh, packing. Best wishes on that one.
Jealous about your beach trip, not jealous about the packing
! Have a great day!
A quick, satisfying and very yummy looking pre-vacation breakfast! Packing is always the hardest part of a vacation…what to wear, what to wear! Everything always depends on the weather which can be so unpredictable! Luckily our weekend away getaway weather was unbelieveable! Sunny skies everyday for our biking adventures in Niagara-on-the-Lakes wine country!
Woooo- pack! Soooo close!
Dry breakfasts just don’t do the trick for this girl- but golly do I wish they would. I’m such a picky/huge breakfast eater!
I agree – wet breakfasts fill me up better
Do the chia seeds help the pb toast stick with you longer?
I hope so
I don’t think I’ve ever microwaved fruit – I love it super cold!
Sensitive teeth can’t handle it!
me too, I nuke it for a few seconds so the “chill” is out, and I don’t have major “brain freeze” in my mouth!
I heat up my fruit for my oatmeal a little especially during the winter to produce some yummy juices and to keep the oatmeal from going cold too fast. I grilled some pineapple with our chicken and pepper kabobs last night and need to remember to grill more fruit this summer. Of course, cold fruits are so refreshing especially as the weather gets warmer. Sensitive teeth are no fun.
How was that watermelon? I still haven’t found a perfect one this season, but I did have some amazing pineapple! It was awesome in a smoothie with cilantro and cinnamon. Mexi-smoothie!
Good luck packing!
Pretty good!
How do you like the straws you’re using? I’m considering them – but worried about a funky taste?
Have a great day!
The taste is neutral. I prefer plastic, but mother earth does not..
Try glass straws, I have some and they are awesome!! No taste at all, and they are a lot more durable than you could ever imagine. We have four (and I want to buy some more), and they do really well with my 10 year old – who by they way loves the straws, he doesn’t use any other now

Just wait until you are trying to pack up all the baby belongings and gear! Enjoy your day, at least you have an ultrasound to look forward to. Your breakfast looks simple and delicious. I usually enjoy the breakfast making process including the cleanup, but I agree that a dry breakfast is the way to go. I make breakfast in shifts, my husband, myself and then my kids and most of them are not dry. Do you do most of your dishes by hand or in the dishwasher? I tend to end up washing a lot of mine by hand partly because the dishwasher would be full all the time!
I put bowls and things in the DW but anything cooked or coffee has to be done by hand
I tend to wash a lot of things before I put them in the dishwasher rather than just rinse them (a habit I picked up from my grandmother), so I figure I might as well just wash them, dry them and put them away. Or I just go ahead and put them on the table for the next meal or pack lunches for the next day. Dishes and laundry seem to never be completely “done”!
I am eating pineapple all the time lately – so good!
You just reminded me, I need to UNpack from my trip! Oops. Have a great time!
Never thought of sprinkling chia seeds on toast – I’m going to try that
I have never tried to microwave my fruit, great idea!! Good luck with all that packing!
I had leftover coffee in the same cup this morning! Good luck with packing (my least favorite task EVER…).
The thought of that much packing is probably not so bad when you throw an ultrasound break in there!
Exciting day!!! I love getting ready for a vacation!
Sounds like a speedy morning! I think we’ve got opposing preferences on fruit – the colder, the better for me! Good luck with all that packing!
mmm…that fresh fruit looks so satisfying! have fun on your trip.
Are chia seeds like flaxseeds, where you have to grind them up to be able to absorb the omega 3′s?
No grinding necessary, which is why I prefer them
Hope you are taking a jacket/sweater to the beach! It has been unseasonably cool this year. It is 65 degrees here in Charlotte this morning….too cold for a workout in the outdoor pool! BUMMER!
Boo. Highs are in the 80 s
I almost always microwave my fruit if it’s been in the fridge! It’s at it best at room temp. Plus much juicier!
Aren’t you going to say anything about Larbs’ engagement?! How exciting!
Wanted to let her announce it on her blog first!! BIG news!!
She posted it on her blog yesterday. I thought for sure you’d say something this morning!
that’s quite the busy day of packing!
I love a quick breakfast. Mine is usually toast, Earth Balance and some blackberry preserves.
Proof that a delicious breakfast doesn’t have to take a long time… But some mornings it’s fun when it does
.
Have fun at the beach! I ate my first batch of overnight oats out of a nearly empty jar of Archer Farms’ peanut/cashew/almond butter and it was delish! And it is pretty darn fun eating out of a jar, hehe.
That pineapple looks SO good! I am loving pineapple this year now that I am no longer intimidated by cutting it. I saw your sister got engaged. HOW EXCITING!!
Have a great trip! Can’t to see your photos! May there be lots of R and R in your near-future!
I don’t love packing……but looks like it’s going to be for a GOOD cause
Hehe.
Im so with you! Pack, pack, pack….
Dry breakfasts…love it. I am all about anything that’s a time (or dishes) saver!
I was on a dry breakfast kick for a couple weeks, but knew it was only a phase – sure enough, I’m back on messy dish, wet breakfasts!
Have fun on your trip! I totally want to go to TJs now and get more sun butter!!!
Gah! I need sunflower seed butter in my life again so badly! It’s been nearly a week without it and I’m really jonesing for some!
The only thing worst than packing? Unpacking
After the packing comes the trip, which makes it worth the effort!
Iced coffee sounds good right now, but only if it is decaf! I have been trying not to drink anything with caffeine in it while pregnant, but it can be somewhat difficult at times to only drink water.
