Morning!! I was up at 5:32 this morning ready to go but convinced my mind to sleep for another hour. Alarm did go off at 6:26 and we were off to the gym on our bikes by 7:05. I stopped for 2 bites of banana along the way.
Workout was great. In addition to our biking, I did 30 hard minutes on the Stairmaster. GOSH that machine is tough! I thought I was almost done and I peeked and still had 7 minutes left. I survived and we were on our way back home (more downhill than up!) in no time.
We are in a bit of a rush now because Larbs + Matt’s flight is landing sooner than scheduled!
We decided on yogurt bowls for breakfast to save time with cooking and dishes –
But by the time I was done assembling mine and photographing, Matt was already done!
There was a new surprise ingredient in the bowl: GLO-NOLA!!
In honor of her debut to ship to the USA, Angela sent a package of goodies from the Glo Bakery!
A sampling of Glo Bars and some Glo-nola! I cant’ wait to try some of these out –
All stashed for eating!
Cranberry Pumpkin Raisin Almond Spice –
So my yogurt bowl contained:
- 1 container Oikos plain
- The last of pumpkin – about 1/4 cup
- Cinnamon
- 1 tiny banana
- 2 tbsp wheatberries
- ~1/3 cup Glo-nola
- Few drops Costco PB
- 1 tbsp flax
I’m a little teacup, short and stout!
We were out of milk this morning so I used a little chocolate milk in my coffee! I got this sample of choco from Organic Valley + Nature’s Path granola in honor of their Organic Heroes campaign. The choco combo was great!

Hallie (Healthy Twists) says
Angela’s products look so good! And I know what you mean about the stairmaster…I haven’t done it in awhile and it’s TOUGH. But it’s good for you (me?) mentally as well. I think I’m dying and I can’t do those last 10 or whatever minutes, but I push those thoughts out of my head and power through. Feels so good when you’re done!
Anne [email protected] Weigh of Life says
I love the video! I’m off too vote!

Pamela says
Have fun on Bald Head. I live in Wilmington and it was 85 degrees today, sunny, cool breeze — hope the weather sticks all weekend for you. Was thinking of places you might stop for some good sounthern eats if you venture off the island…
In Southport – Live Oak Cafe or Taylors (the later, not so healthy, but yummy).
In Wilmington – downtown on Front Street, Basics is very yummy, fresh, local food – but still southern. Jesters, on Castle (close to downtown) has fresh, local breakfast and lunch. Caprice Bistro, downtown on Market, has a fun sofa lounge, good martini specials, and a $5 bar menu.
Nicole says
I missed the Quaker post but what a neat video and concept! I will definitely check it out and vote for yours. I love seeing how so many Americans and our national companies are pulling together to help those in need. Especially in these hard times.
Those Glo products look delicious! Have a great weekend with your company!
maria says
I’ve never thought about adding chocolate milk to my coffee… what a brilliant switch for a special day. 🙂
BroccoliHut says
Totally craving chocolate milk now!
Have a fab trip:)
Kath says
Melissa,
Didn’t get a chance to watch it!! Will on Monday 🙂
Kara,
Can you please be more specific!? I don’t know what granola you mean.
Morgan,
Aww thanks.
Allison,
Yup!!
Pamela,
We’re staying on the island, but we often do lunch in Wilmington on our way out. Love the waterfront!
