Since I spent all day yesterday on my blog job, today is all about my job as a student. The second I push publish I am getting straight to work. Going for a run at 11. Lunch. Then classes all afternoon and evening.
So I let myself have a leisurely breakfast before I get on it –
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffin Pumpkin Banana Oatmeal!
- 1/3 cup oats, soy milk, water
- Pinch salt, splash vanilla, sprinkle cinnamon
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 banana
- ~1/3 cup pumpkin, stirred in at end
- About 1/3 of a Great Harvest Chocolate Chip Pumpkin muffin top. Since it’s all mine, I just ate the top off!
- Spoonful MaraNatha AB
My was this divine!
Fresh Market Decaf Pumpkin Spice + Caf Christmas Blend
[Can you tell I haven’t been using my napkin – it’s stayed all rolled up since I got it!!]
Hi ho, hi ho…….
Chelsea (Chelsea's Chew and Run Fun) says
That bowl of oatmeal is Fall, personified. It also looks like deliciousness, personified. Amazing!
Kristin @ Iowa Girl Eats says
Woah – that was a mouthful! I had to re-read that breakfast name a few times! Glad to see that just the muffin top made it in. It’s so delish – why bother with the rest? 😉
Have a great day as a student – learn, learn, learn!

That oatmeal looks even better than divine. I think the chocolate chip muffin seals the deal. ARG! You have made me crave chocolate for the third time today. Not giving in this time, though! 🙂

Wow! I’m usually not very impressed by everyone’s oatmeals, but yours looks pretty fabulous!
Christin S says
Kath, that oatmeal looks absolutely fantastic!! I just wanted to let you know it’s been almost two years since I started reading your blog now, and i have to say I owe you big time for setting such a great example for good eating habits! I was reading your “molting” post, and I really related to that, because I turned 27 in February, and I was shocked to find I had gained about 7 pounds in the last year…my weakness is ice cream, so I have started making it a once a month scheduled treat as part of me and my husband’s date night, and the pounds are starting to roll off…I too believe in intuitive eating, and making ice cream a particular treat to look forward to is helping me with my day to day. Anyways, thanks for all the great blog posts, and hope you have a great day! 🙂

Trixie,
Is this in reference to the “Live Lightly” post?
Christin S,
Hard to believe people have been reading for that long! And I’ve been blogging for that long!!
Estela,
I’m pretty sure they do, I just didn’t see it and needed more decaf anyways.
