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:
- 1/3 cup homemade Maple Walnut Granola
- Handful blueberries
- Half small banana
- 1 tbsp TJs PB!!
I think the peanut butter made it. I have missed regular old salty, crunchy PB!
Alarm clock:
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!
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
Definetly do the yoga, I vote!! If I lived near a yoga studio, I’d move house and just live AT the yoga studio 😀
Have a good day!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
i have been craving peanut butter lately too…salty, creamy, crunchy, buttery love 🙂 I hope you go to yoga and have a blast!
Jessica @ How Sweet says
I wish I lived close to a yoga studio. I am at least 25 minutes away!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
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. 🙂
Rhea (Greek Feaster) says
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.
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
I dug into some regular PB this weekend too…I love all my crazy flavors, but the classic remains the best!!
RhodeyGirl Tests says
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!
RhodeyGirl Tests says
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!
Lynn @ The Next Chapter says
Your oatmeal looks delish as usual! I’m going to have to try making granola soon.
PS. Love that mug, it’s gorgeous!
Simply Life says
great breakfast to start the day with!
sweetersalt says
Love crunchy, salted peanut butter! I recently switched back to the crunchy – so good.
Ann @ Appalachian Appetites says
Maybe you’ll have time for a nap today 🙂 Hope yoga is fun and relaxing!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Sometimes you just can’t beat the old fashioned peanut butter!
A Teenage Gourmet (Sami) says
I can’t decided! Oatmeal or smoothie for breakfast today? You’re swaying me to oatmeal, haha.
Robyn @ Frugal 'n' Fit! says
Peanut butter just MAKES a breakfast bowl. It’s absence was very much noted on my cereal this morning 🙁
Kori says
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. 😉
Kath says
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.
Kori says
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!
Rachel (Two Healthy Plates) says
That looks like a great way to start the day!
Ashley@thehungryscholar says
New technology is so fun, but so addictive. I still cannot detach myself from my laptop. Have a great day, Kath.
Anya @ Fitness & Sunshine says
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 🙁
Courtney @ Three Months says
Enjoy yoga – what a great way to start the week!!
Rosey Rebecca says
I LOVE your coffee mug! Have fun at yoga! You’re so lucky to have a studio so close to you!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Yummy way to start the day! The bonus to staying up late now…you can take a nap if ya want to! Enjoy your day Kath!
Brittany @ A Healthy Slice of Life says
So what made you do HTC over iPhone? Google? Just curious because I am loving my iPhone 4!
Camille says
Tasty oats! Homemade granola is the best 🙂
Have a great day!
The Wife of a Dairyman says
New toys are fun to play with aren’t they 🙂
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
I love when I dream of food and it comes out exactly as anticipated 🙂
Stacey @ Tipping the (Kitchen!) Scales says
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!!
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
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 😀
Enjoy the rest of your day!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
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.
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
I hate it when I get so wrapped up in technology that I lose sleep.
I say a nap is totally in order 🙂
Meg says
Love the appearance of the new granola AND good ole’ PB 🙂
Enjoy your day and hope you decide to go to yoga! It might make you feel a little less sleepy 🙂
Sara says
AHhhh so many good things in this post! I haven’t had O.Oats in TOO long, will be making them STAT!
And thanks for the granola recipe- I have been looking for a good one for so long. I will def. try yours out…looks great!
Have a great Monday Kath!
Krystina says
Do the yoga! It’ll wake you up. 😀 Your granola looks fab.
janna says
That granola looks heavenly!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
whenever i get a new phone i’m up too late playing with it too. i become obsessed!!!
jaclyn@todays lady says
Salted PB is the way to go!!!! If I ever buy unsalted, I always add a touch of salt. Its necessary 😉
katherine says
hey kath. i wanted to tell you that i just moved cross country (nc to ca) and we used PODS and it was a total success – not one broken item! i think i remember that you all are using them right now until you settle in charlottesville. just wanted to share! happy yoga this morning if you go.
Kath says
Oh yay!
Kelly says
I am now singing Lionel Ritchie and picturing this commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCdYnAYyU7w. 🙂
Sarah M. says
Hi! I was curious where you buy your Chia seeds from? Can I find them in a supermarket or health food store? Thanks!
Kath says

Kaz says
Your breakfast looks amazing! I like the lightly salted peanut butter, too. Makes the flavors stand out more. 😀
Jenn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says

Courtney @ Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life says
Ahhhhh those oats look fantastic. I’m all about the toppings – and homemade granola? Yes PLEASE!! 🙂
Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
Looks like the granola turned out perfect.
Maria says
I’ve never tried your over night oats and want to give it a try. What kind of oat do you like the best? TIA!
Teens Eat says
