Happy Early Valentine’s Day!
When you have a muffin like this, you must seize the moment no matter what the holiday status.
Enter Chocoberry Coconut SIAB!
The ultimate Valentine’s smoothie in a bowl!
The Smoothie
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 banana
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 2 tbsp Vega Choc-a-lot
- 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries
The Frosting
- Crumbled Great Harvest White Chocolate Chocolate Raspberry muffin
- Coconut
- Coconut butter
The muffin pieces were super doughy – this was fabulous!
And FYI, Matt heated the coconut butter in a pot of hot water on the stovetop to soften it for drizzling like in this post.
Coffee completed the rich flavors
Guess what happened last night!?
Snowfall!!!
But too bad for the kiddos…
[GO DUKE!!!]

I could do without any more snow. we’ve gotten way more than usual here in St. Louis. I definitely brought the snow from Detroit when I moved!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
February 10, 2011 at 9:45 amThat muffin sounds ridiculous! Breakfast looks delicious today. Thankfully we don’t have much snow in the forecast and it’s actually supposed to be -2C on Sunday which is almost tropical for us in Ontario! Have a great day Kath!

February 10, 2011 at 9:47 amMmm, chocolate, cherry, and coconut reminds me of German Chocolate cakes. Definitely a good thing to wake up to.
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn says
February 10, 2011 at 9:47 amI am having serious breakfast envy. I am absolutely swooning for that chocolate! Beautiful Trekkie, Kath!

Jen @ keepitsimplefoods.com says
February 10, 2011 at 11:21 amThe muffin looks nice and moist. If I had them in my house, I’d have a serious muffin addiction problem.
We got snow in D.C. too. Just a sprinkle though. I’m over the snow.
Go Carolina! (sorry, my fiance is a UNC guy)

chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
February 10, 2011 at 12:51 pmI thought you were going to say the snow was melting and I was going to rejoice. Instead, I’m a little sad.

Stacey (The Home-Cooked Vegan) says
February 10, 2011 at 4:03 pmThat breakfast looks like a dessert! But from the ingredients, I can tell it’s a breakfast 😀 Yummy!! It snowed in NC last night too, but only a little flurry. There are still a few signs of it in the shade but everything else has cleared!
Hannah says
February 10, 2011 at 6:12 pmWhat a beautiful, beautiful breakfast! Though I think I would’ve thought so even without the four billion photos 😉
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
