Fly

I had every intention of starting today with a little Dave Farmar yoga. I came down and was really ready to do it. And then Twitter got in the way. And then my stomach growled. And then I had a smoothie in my hands and yoga flew out the door faster than the Twitter bird could chirp!

SIAB for TWO:

  • 1 banana
  • 1 whole furry kiwi
  • 1/2 cup frozen cherries
  • 1 cup organic skim milk
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 scoops Vega Vanilla Chai
  • 1 big handful ice
  • 1/4 cup raw rolled oats

It made two giant 2.5 bowls of smoothie which we topped with some crunchy buckwheat granola and magic shell.

A Coconut Butter magic shell demonstration. Heat the coconut butter ONCE to make it liquidy at room temp (meaning, I did this a few days ago in a pot of hot water and it’s still liquidy). Drizzle the liquid onto the freezing cold smoothie. Watch it harden.

Hard as a rock!

[Go, Matt, Go!]

Both Matt and I agree that although we both LOVE SIABs, which eat them too fast and they give us a temporary stomachache. Must remember to slooooow down next time!

RSS

I have no clue why my posts are delayed in my RSS feed. But I have noticed that a handful of other bloggers’ posts have been delayed in mine, which leads me to believe there is some kink in Google Reader and not my RSS feed (plus, if I look at the feed, my latest post is there, AND Emily said my dinner post came through fine for her). This is very annoying, but I don’t know what to do! I’m so sorry!

Up Up And Away

After showering and packing this morning, we’re headed to visit our friends Huey and Indy for the night!

And then tomorrow, Caitlin + Jason get married!!!

  3. I’m always in awe of that coconut shell…I still have yet to try it, but I haven’t made a smoothie in awhile! I just got a post of yours in Reader from three days ago, but this one came up just fine. Weird! Hope you have a great day 🙂

  4. That’s so nifty with the coconut butter. And fun too.

    This post just came through on my reader…so if you just posted it the Reader is working fine for me at least. 🙂

  8. I think Google Reader is having the issue. Posts to a lot of the blogs I read aren’t coming through like they used to if they come through at all. One of your posts from the 14th came through mine last night!

  11. Aw, have fun with Emily!! Or at least with her dogs, if she isn’t going to be there 😉 And, I’m so jealous of your coconut butter! Still can’t find it anywhere! Ha, Matt eats like Jason does. I try to tell Jason to slowwww down, but he acts like the food is going to dissapear off of his plate if he doesn’t eat it in 2 seconds flat…”Are you even TASTING it?!” is my response. Have a lovely Friday! 😀

  17. I’m using Newsfire and just got this update… weird, huh?

    Anyway, that SIAB looks soooo yummy! I need an excuse to have one at 15.30 after having had a big lunch… do I really need to wait until tomorrow??

  19. I don’t use reader, just come directly to the blog where I used to be able to read the two most recent posts before having to click directly on older ones when catching up. Now I can only read the most recent post before having to click on others. I liked having two better.

    Have a great trip!

  22. If you use Feedburner, “ping” your post so that the feed reader robots pick it up quicker. The timing of posts showing up in a reader is pretty random, it’s just whenever the robots pick it up. It used to take my post hours to show up, not it takes about a minute. Your posts have all been showing up in my reader, no idea if they’re delayed or not.

  23. I think google reader wasn’t feeling well because there were a lot of delayed posts coming through and then it kept telling me I had unread items when I didn’t. Strange.

  28. You have caused me to be hopelessly addicted to coconut butter! I’ve been out since Monday and I am going through withdrawal!

  34. It’s getting too cold for smoothies here (at leats for now – I’m still wishing for a few warm days ;)) – but yours looks great. I’m still waiting for coconut butter to arrive in the stores here – can’t wait to try it one day!

  40. Just got your morning post in my reader. Although I must admit I still prefer going to a person’s actual blog and enjoying it in it’s full beautiful glory. Google Reader does not do a blogger’s blog posts justice 🙂
    That coconut shell looks so yummy 🙂 Do you use coconut oil too?

  41. Hi Kath! I just wanted to tell you that this morning at 6:20 a.m. when my alarm went off (after I’d already hit the snooze button once!) I *really* did not want to get up for the gym. But I used your old trick — picturing how I’d feel later today if I didn’t go, and picturing how I’d feel trying to go at 5 p.m. on a Friday when my husband and friends were all ready to do fun stuff — and I got right out of bed and went to the gym! Even in my half-asleep state, I knew it was your trick. 🙂

  45. I know that I have asked this before and you may or may not have commented back, but I was just wondering where you got you coffee cup with the K on it? I have seen other Bloggers with the cup and I have fallen in love with it!

  48. Aw, have so much fun visiting with Emily, Casey + the pups! I’ve really been craving a smoothie or SIAB lately but I just can’t stop making oats. I looked at the stove + my vita mix like 5 times today and the stove won. Lunch MUST be a smoothie!!! 🙂

  56. I always eat my smoothies too fast too. It’s just way too easy to slurp them up!

    I had no troubles with your posts showing up in my reader, but I don’t use Google. Seems like the problem lies with them, not you.

  64. I love how coconut butter magic shell makes me think of dairy queen’s cherry hardshell 🙂 And I also love that it’s a dairy-free way I can reclaim that luxury in life!

  66. I discovered your website a few months ago and was completely taken into your world! Going to your blog is a wonderful little break for me during my work day. I love the combinations of food that you picture and describe and it makes me want to try a lot of the things you and Matt are having. I think your site is one of the best out there:)

    I’m not a beer drinker but you have made me very curious to want to try the Pumpkin Beer and also to seek out a Great Harvest bread company (which I did find in my area)..Yay!! I plan to go there tomorrow.

  67. Beautiful breakfast! From the bowl to the coconut butter, I want it all.
    Random Q for you–do you have any recommendations for places to find placemats? I’ve always admired your collection, and I am in need of some. I’d appreciate any tips!
