Mary Frances says
Walk backwards on the treadmill. Helps relieve and heal hamstring. Feel better soon. Keep moving…but keep it easy on the leg. If that is what it is, it will take a couple of months.
Cait (Cait's Plate) says
Yuuummm – that lunch looks FABULOUS! I’m dying to try the caramel oikos…I can’t decide if I’ll like it or not.
Have a wonderful afternoon!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says

I haven’t tried the caramel Oikos yet but the idea of dipping an apple into it just piqued my interest!
Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat) says
Great combo of flavors and textures. I can’t decide what to make for lunch today… nothing in my kitchen sounds appealing!
Jessica @ How Sweet says
That millet sounds delicious!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
that sounds like the perfect sweet-and-savory lunch! i need to try millet…i don’t know if i’ve ever had it but is sounds and looks amazing!
Jenn (www. j3nn.net ) says
Fun lunch box. I like the caramel Oikos better than the chocolate. I never cared much for chocolate yogurts. 🙂

I love all these fun and funky grains, but the only one I ever eat is oats. I should expand my pallet; they just aren’t very filling :-/
Foodie (Fab and Delicious Food) says
Looks like a very nice lunch!
Hope you have a fantastic afternoon as well!
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
I had that same title for my post when my obsession with millet bread first started 🙂 Great minds think and eat alike!!
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
Ohh interesting way to eat millet! I’ve still never tried it, but I did try wheatberries for the first time last week.
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
What an awesome mix Kath! Love the cinnamon!
Ashley says
OMG….did we take the exact same photo or WHAT!?? Apple on top of strawberry oikos on today’s post..too funny! 🙂
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
Yum! What a great sounding lunch!
Jenny says
I love your version of a caramel covered apple!
adrienmelaine says
Looks great Kath! I never thought of cooking millit and eating it as a cooked grain- I always use it in muffins!
Christina says
I need to find that caramel oikos! Caramel apples are the best 🙂
jen trinque says
As usual, love your healthy lunches!
Sam says
You are killing me! microwaving that plastic….
Sarah (OC2Seattle) says
Love the healthy twist on the caramel apple!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
i love the idea of combining coconut with grains – and cinnamon. yum
Erin says
Hi Kath! I have a quick question about how you care for your Camelbak. Your reservoir looks just like mine and I haven’t figured out if I’m supposed to remove the tube from the reservoir to clean it or not. Do you remove the tube or just leave it in place and hang it upside-down to dry? Any advice would be great!
Kath says
I just flush it out really well. Put a ton of water in and just let the tube run open until it’s empty. Twice if I used something sticky.
Erin says
Great, thanks!
Mastering Public Health says
Nicely balanced lunch. Love those Vega Vibrancy bars; only tracked them down once though — still working on finding them without having to fork over shipping.
kate says
Caramel Oikos + an apple sound like a fabulous snackaroo!
kate says
And I just realized I was comment #26! (And #27 now too!)
Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies says
I have never had millet before – but that sounds delicious.
Veggielady4life says
Millet with cinnamon and coconut? This is a new combo I need to try! Love the Oikos Greek yogurt!! One of my fav brands! 🙂
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] says
Mmmm…what a flavorful, well-rounded meal. I wouldn’t expect any less : )
My eyes aren’t as big as my stomach. I need to pack bigger lunches!
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
Once again, a wonderfully balanced lunch Kath 🙂
I’m loving the carmel covered apples. What a great idea!
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
I love how you added cinnamon and coconut to your millet. Sounds lovely and so, so, so fragrant! 😀
Nadine says
Hey Kath,
Looks like a beautiful day down there. I’m in town for business one night next week and hoping you can suggest a great restaurant for dinner. Not sure if you have a list of your favorites anywhere or if there is an easy way to gather that list!
We’re coming from Birkdale Village in Huntersville and staying at the Omni on E Trade street in Charlotte. Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Nadine
Kath says
There’s a new place uptown called Dandelion Cafe that is supposed to be really cool. Small plates or local foods.
I also love Sonoma Modern Kitchen and Zink for a swanky dinner uptown.
If you want to venture a little further south, Brixx Pizza and Big Daddy’s in Dilworth are both casual and really good.
And my new favorite restaurant in Charlotte is Good Food On Montford, which is about 10 minutes south of uptown. Small plates and REALLY good flavors.
Welcome!
Nadine says
Many thanks!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Mmmmm apples and caramel Oikos are amazing together!
Emily Eats and Exercises says
I’ve never tried millet, but you make it look good. 🙂 I just have to finish the gazilion grains in my pantry before buying new ones…
life.art.midnightsnacks. says
i am definitely trying that “caramel covered apple” !!! sounds amazing!
Shawna @ Balancing Me says
Yum, your lunch looks fabulous!
I’m dying to get my hands on some of those Vega bars. I can’t find them anywhere near me (besides Whole Foods which is a 30 minute drive – 🙁 )
Hannah says
Love the cinnamon and coconut on millet idea – I’ve been going crazy with cinnamon on my oatmeal lately, so it’s only a matter of time before it transitions to savoury food too 😀
Lisa @bakebikeblog says
What a great balanced lunch! And hope your leg feels better soon 🙂
Jenna says
I must try the Caramel Oikos NOW!
Kellie says
I cannot find the caramel or chocolate Oikos. I am not sure where to go, but I really want to try it.
Heather says
I LOVE the caramel. It’s my favorite!
