I ended up staying up last night and knocking out another assignment! Def. took the pressure off of this morning.
I also mentally prepared myself for an early morning run….and woke up to rain!
I’m not one to run in rain if I don’t have to, so the plan immediately changed to a gym session first thing.And then I got out of bed – ouch! I’m sore in strange places from yesterday’s Power Hour class so yoga immediately moved to the priority spot. How good would yoga feel right now. Mmmm.
The next decision was how and when. My living room, now, later, Yoga One, the Y? I checked my Y group exercise schedule and there’s a class at 9:30. I’d go up to Yoga One for some hot yoga, but that adds an hour of driving. If I go to my Y for cold yoga, I can bike there because the clouds are clearing!
Decision conquered [with the help of some friends on Twitter!]
Next stop: SIAB. I was craving a smoothie and tea. And you know I can’t stop thinking about the smoothie-in-a-cup I had at Jamba!! I can’t wait until we fly to Montana next weekend so I can get another one for breakfast 🙂
Today’s blend:
- 1/3 cup frozen banana chunks
- 1/3 cup frozen mango from TJ’s
- 1 container pom Chobani (past expiration! But just barely)
- 1/3 cup vanilla soy milk
- Splash Blueberry POM
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- Handful spinach
- Toppings: Mix My Granola + Maranatha AB
Said like Kevin from the Office: It was awesome
I had Yerba Mate Dark Roast for my beverage. Wasn’t feelin’ coffee. Hope the caffeine in this guy wards off a headache!
I’ve got 25 minutes until I’m leaving for the Y – and the blue sky is peeking out from the clouds!
Have a great day!
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
It was pouring this morning over here! At least it calmed down before I had to head outside. Jamba siac’s are the best! I’ll be traveilng this week for work and I’ve been looking forward to getting one! (my go-to travel snack/breakfast!)
Kristin @ Iowa Girl Eats says
Great lookin’ SIAB – love the green color 🙂 Have a great day – hope the sun makes a full return!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
Hahaha I can just hear Kevin saying it that way!
Sarah @ The Foodie Diaries says
Enjoy yoga! Sometimes the only cure for the yoga sore is MORE yoga! (That just reminded me of the SNL cowbell skit. More cowbell! Haha)
Emmalinda says
The greatest thing about yogurt (ok, there are actually many great things about yogurt) is that it is already a cultured/fermented milk product–so expiration dates become less important! Several years ago I worked at a health food store and didn’t buy yogurt for a year, b/c we always got to take home the recently expired stuff.

Were you aware the FTC announced new rules on Monday that apply to bloggers who endorse a company’s products or services in exchange for cash or gifts. Worth investigating since you accept so many free samples.
Kath says
Aaa,
Yes. Read my Bylaws down on the sidebar —>
I tell you about every free sample I get the first time I use/eat it.

It was rainy here this morning too, enjoy yoga!
nic says
I already miss yoga after only one week without!! I totally need to do some for myself until our classes are back!!
Have fun!! Hug.
Abby (Abby's VeGaN Eats) says
Oh Kevin.. gotta love em. Delicious looking breakfast!
Diana says
That SIAB looks so good. I’ll have to try it for breakfast as soon as I can!
I never tried yoga, I’m so curious. Some people love it, other people say it’s boring… I’ll have to try and decide for myself.
Whitney @ Lettuce Love says
Great looking SIAB! I hate it when I am ready and prepared for a run and then mother nature gets in the way.
Lizzy says
i wish it was sunny here in MI! Yoga would be the perfect way to wake up on mornings when you need a light workout! 🙂 enjoy your day!
Madeline @ Greens and Jeans says
It’s even a little cloudy here in Phoenix where the sun shines 360 days a year! I usually LOVE the rain and the only time I hate it is when it foils my morning workout plans!
Morgan says
I woke up to rain too and my bike ride plans went right out the window! Hopefully I can squeeze in a workout this afternoon!
Jenna says
glad friends at twitter helped you make your decision 😉

Megan @ Megzz Wins At Life says
I woke up to the rain and coulnd’t find my umbrella!!! ehhh just one of those days!
Emily says
I haven’t made the move to Twitter yet, but I’m not sure if it would be good or bad for my generally indecisive nature…
I actually love running in the rain because I don’t get so hot. But my bike riding plans fell through today 🙁
kay (eating machine) says
mmm i’m makin a smoothie today… haven’t had one in forevahh
Meg says
Hope you get more sunshine! Breakfast looks delicious as always!
I know you didn’t have coffee this morning…but i know you like some flavored varieties…check out the $50 coffee giveaway over on my blog.
Morgan @ Life After Bagels says
I missed my run this morning, but that’s because I slept in 🙁
Tay says
LOL nice Kevin reference. Hope you have a wonderful hump day Miss Kath!
BethT @ Pretty By The Bay says
OK, I’m not a huge Jamba fan but you’re making me want to try that darn smoothie in a cup!
Karina (Like Some Cat from Japan) says
Your breakfast looks heavenly, as always.
Hope you get more sunshine you way and have a fantastic day!
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers says

Food Makes Fun Fuel says
Have fun at the Y! It was pooring when i was at the gym but now it’s sunny, what’s with that?
brandi says

The haircut frames your face well!

Jen (Running With Cake) says
Hi Kath! Congratulations on your FoodBuzz Blog Award nominations! They are well-deserved. I’m surprised you were not on the list for best photos though because your photos are just beautiful – very artsy. Ciao!
Allison K says
Montana! You’ll be on my home turf of the mountain west! Are you actually flying directly into Montana?
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I hate when I plan an outdoor exercise and it rains. I’ve run in the rain a few times but it wasn’t fun. So now I only run in the rain for races.
Yoga is so big for me now. I am going to get in some at lunch to help with my ITBS.
Tina says
Love your SIAB’s. I miss smoothies!
Sorry to hear about the rain! I woke up to a beautiful day today 😀
Anne [email protected] Weigh of Life says
I woke up to rain too, but it’s cleared up now!
Jennifer says
How fun that you are headed to Montana! I went to graduate school in Missoula – and that is where I first experienced the deliciousness of Great Harvest Bread Company. (I lived about two blocks from the store on Higgings Ave…dangerous!) Hope you have a great time!
Sarah says
That smoothie in a bowl looks delicious! I love sneaking in spinach 😉
Hope you have a great workout and a lovely day!
Jennifer says
Oh, heavens…HIGGINS Avenue. Sorry for the typo!
Estela @ weekly bite says
I need to seriously try the SIAB!! I love smoothies and always make them, but have never made it in a bowl.
Hope the weather clears up for you!
AshinMT says
Had to comment today beacuse… i live in Montana and am so excited for you to visit! Great Harvest is yummy and a great company, what an exciting venture. Where are you guys going to be? Great Falls or Missoula? Hopefully you are meeting in a pretty place that is representative of our beautiful state.
Ashley says
It’s so weird to see GREEN oats!! I’ll def. have to give that a try at some point. I can’t seem to steer away from pumpkin spice oats right now! =)
Melissa says
Hahaha…love Kevin from The Office!
Are you excited to watch Jim and Pam’s wedding on this week’s episode? The commercials are killing me with cuteness! Aww, my favorite TV couple!
Julie says
How fun, Montana! For what? I’ve always wanted to go there…it just seems so different than MA.
The siab looks pretty!!
AnnQ says
OMG…I love LOVE Kevin from The Office! You’re too funny! 🙂
Laura @ Backstage Pass to Health & Happiness says
Now that’s a power breakfast. Love the green, mean color!
angieinatlanta says
Your smoothie in a bowl looks great! Hope you had a good yoga session!
Kath says
Julie,
No taste!
Allison + AshinMT,
We’re flying into Bozeman on the 16th. Driving to Yellowstone and ending up in Dillon on Sunday night for our Great Harvest interviews on Monday. Where are y’all located?
Ashley,
No oats!! Just smoothie 🙂
Kath
Jess says
If you go to Bozeman while you are in Montana there are a TON of awesome places to eat. Let me know and I will email a list. Have an awesome time!!
Lindsey says
You take really good food pics!
Allison K says
Kath, I am over the border in Idaho. Bozeman is a very cool college town with some great food and brews!. and such a gorgeous place. And Yellowstone is amazing beyond words. Get ready for some Mountains!!!
