Batter Down

Trick or Treat!

The last of the leftover oatmeal buffet:

Went into another blended mix

But this time it wasn’t nearly the batter texture. It was definitely a smoothie instead of blended oats. Blame the proportions!

For TWO bowls

Smoothie
  • ~1 cup leftover whipped banana oatmeal (I used two on Monday)
  • 1 cup Stonyfield low-fat plain (I used 1/2 cup Siggi’s on Monday)
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1 banana (tried to make up for less oats with more banana)
  • 1 tbsp PB flour (forgot about this until now – was not detectable)
Toppings

Today’s coffee was a new sample from Guilt Free Drinks. Carbon neutral, organic, fair trade = guilt free. [They also donate 10% of profits to charity!] I tried the Medium blend today and liked it a lot. I’m a medium roast kind of girl! It was nice and smooth with enough nutty bold flavor for me. The coffee goes for $10.80 per bag. I’m thinking you can probably find coffee in stores with the same certifications for less, but this was definitely good coffee.

  15. Love your pumpkins! I haven’t bought pumpkins this year but I did buy a lot of squashes for decoration.

    I am not a coffee drinker but love the greeness of your coffee today!

  16. I can’t tell in the picture, but is that bag a half pound or a full pound… and is it beans or ground? I’m always looking to try out a new coffee 😀 We’ve been stuck on a company called RoosRoast– it’s a local company (~5 miles) that roasts and flavors the beans themselves. I actually am able to buy it at the Farmer’s Market. One pound of beans is $15. I do think coffee is one of the things that you really get what you pay for.

    • The one I got was a small sample bag. The price online is for a 12oz bag, I believe. You can get it ground however you want or whole

  24. Looks yummy!! Maybe you’ve written about it somewhere else, but I was wondering if you’d talk about your reasons for using 2% milk and lowfat yogurt instead of skim or fat free? Is it just taste, or is there a health reason? Thx!

    • Mostly taste – I think a little fat goes a long way. I prefer 1% most of all, but HT doesn’t make a 1%. I also think that a little fat is good in the diet. I think 1-2% is a good compromise between whole milk (which I think is a bit too much fat) and skim (not enough).

  29. I used to hate peanut flour because I couldn’t taste it – but if you add just a little bit of salt, it really bring out the flavor. And I usually use 2 T for a 2-3 cup size smoothie.

  37. We’ll be carving our pumpkins tonight. Can’t wait! Do you have an email address connected to KERF? I have a question about a nutrition course I’m taking and I didn’t see it on the blog. Have a good day!

  40. I love the photos of breakfast with the pumkpkins. I think pumpkins are so pretty and just add so much to photos! I too love the new lens. Your photos have this great crispness now!

    • We’re trying all kinds of random ones. Whole Foods Fair Trade is $6.99/lb. We like it, but it seems kind of weak. Shenandoah Joe’s here is $12-15/lb and is AMAZING but not sure if that is sustainable for our budget.
