Breakfast went from hot –> cold
Today I used my last RUSH bowl from the beautiful state of Colorado. I believe these are now available in select Whole Foods.
This was the Acai Beach – made with acai, mango, banana and guava juice.
Nuke 30 seconds –> stir –> Nuke 30 seconds –> SIAB
I layered in some Organic Valley Yogurt for extra protein and a few banana slices for chew. Plus the granola that comes with it!
And a blob of Nuttzo PF for satiety 🙂
Backside 😳
Awake! I wanted some coffee, but since my smoothie was dish-clean free, I kept the beverage that way too.
As I was chewing I realized this breakfast was quite higher in calorie than my usual breakfast – maybe even over 600? I’m curious to see if it holds me over any longer than normal.
Buddha Bowls are back in stock!
But this time the color combo is SNOWPEA and PACIFIC. (Those of you who ordered them since being back in stock, I’m not sure you knew this yet – but please contact OpenSky customer service if the colors are a problem)
Happy Thurs!

Mornin’!

That smoothie looks like a treat! YUM! Great way to start Thursday!!! Have a great day!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Those Rush bowls look amazing! I’ll have to check WF for them next time I’m there. But since I’m in Canada, we probably won’t. 🙁
Freya@ Brit Chick Runs says
I love that you’re eating out of a [pint?] glass – so cool!! I find a decent bowl or plate or whatever automatically makes my meal 10 x tastier :p
Have a good day!
Daniel says
Do you slip a little powdered creativity into your morning teas or is it all natural? 😉
And I wish I had the money to get those Buddha bowls, they’re so neat! Gotta save up my money for studying in Greece for three weeks though (culinary journalism!!). If you ever get an extra shipment sent to your house on accident and they say you can keep them I’ll be glad to help you make some room, haha!
Have a great day!
Kath says
Powdered huh!?
Brittany says
Your breakfasts always look delicious! I love that you and I both eat and drink out of beer pint glasses/mugs all the time. We have a plethora of them at my house- perhaps Matt and Isaac should do a trade sometime. Maybe once you all are in VA. 🙂
Hope you have a good day!
Kath says
Def!
Daniel says
Ha, I meant nothing bad by it! Just pointing out that you’re able to find so much creativity at such an early time in the morning!!
Diana says
Those bowls are so cute. 🙂
Have a good day Kath!
Annie@stronghealthyfit says
Those Buddha bowls are SO cute! Interesting about your b-fast being more calorie dense, it doesn’t actually seem like it would be. Maybe with the granola and yogurt added to it, though.
Food Makes Fun Fuel says
Yum! That breakfast looks so good in a tall and frothy mug
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Very cute bowls!!!
Now I’ll have that song stuck in my head ALL day. So thank you, Kath. 🙂
Heather @ Side of Sneakers says
Just LOVE those bowls 🙂 You always seem to find the coolest dishes!
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
Those bowls are absolutely adorable! 😀 They remind me of a hug mug.
Your breakfast looks delicious! I’ll be checking my whole foods to see if they’re carrying that Rush yet. 😀
Lauren @ eater not a runner says
Such a beautiful breakfast!!
Cali says
I need to start eating breakfast after I read your blog… It makes me hungry again. 😉
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Your smoothie is SO pretty!!!
Kat says
Any chance of getting the buttercream color of bowls in? Perhaps buttercream and pacific two pack? I’d be all over that!
Kath says
I can request it next if you’d like!
Kat says
That would be great!
Whitney @ Lettuce Love says
Great looking bfast! Love those bowls. Happy Thursday 🙂
Lisa C says
Wow, I haven’t seen that before! Looks delicious!
And higher calorie breakfasts don’t necessarily hold me over for longer… I guess it depends on what it is.
kalli@fitandfortysomething says
i love having smoothies and hot tea-perfect balance 🙂
Wei-Wei says
Wait… wouldn’t that be cold -> hot? If the cold yogurt’s on top of the nuked smoothie? Or am I just confused… 😛
Looks like a wonderful breakfast! Nothing like a big, yummy breakfast to start the day. And you know that they say – breakfast like a king, lunch like a (insert catchy term for “normal person” here), and dinner like a beggar! High-calorie breakfasts are a good way to start the day. 😀
Hope you have a great one! 🙂

Kath says
The smoothie is still cold even though it’s nuked..
Ann @ Appalachian Appetites says
It looks like one of those really decadent desserts you get at chain restaurants…but obviously a lot healthier!
Hannah says
You Americans and your crazy delicious pre-packed foods… sigh! (that was an envious sigh, by the by!)
rustique says
I eat breakfast with a silver fountain spoon too–I dunno, maybe it’s a bit too ritualistic but I really love the long handle and the fact that it doesn’t feel like a shovel.
I love those Buddha bowls.
Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
I tried to find the Rush smoothie at my Whole Foods but they didn’t have it. It sounds like it would be such a great breakfast on a warm day.
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
Ohh I’ve never seen those Rush smoothies before – – they look awesome and I love that they come with granola!
Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat) says
Had my first cold breakfast of the summer this morning–cereal and yogurt–and it was delicious but I’m already hungry a couple of hours later! 🙁
Dawn Hutchins says
I will be interested to see if it holds you over as well. I tried all the glorious nut butter/oat mixes for breakfast and they were amazing but even with the increased calories and fat I was still hungry in a few hours. (SIGH) I had to go back to my egg white omelets that seem to hold me over just as long with a lot less cals. I’m so jealous of all my fellow bloggies that can eat high calories for breakfast and still lose weight.
Kath says
It is a trade off but I usually eat less snacks and dinners. I don’t want to give up my breakfasts, so I have less in other areas.
Shawna @ Balancing Me says
I agree with Dawn above. I’ve since stopped adding nut butters to my oats, and I’ve been keeping the toppings to a minimum as well to keep calories down. I have a piece or two of egg white frittata on the side, and my breakfast comes to 400 calories and keeps me just as full. I’m trying to lose weight, so the extra calories and fat added by the nut butter and toppings, even though good calories, were inhibiting my efforts, I think. I wish I could eat a 600 calorie breakfast, but I find that I eat the same later in the day. It just shows that we are all so different!
RhodeyGirl says
Even if that breakfast is higher in calorie than usual, it would never fill ME up. I think that is so interesting about foods- while a calorie is a calorie, different foods can affect us in different ways. A grain + pb + a serving of fruit always keeps me full from breakfast to lunch, but if I change any one of those components I am starving by 10:30 AM. I wonder if it is mental, if my body is just used to a certain type of breakfast, or if there is real science behind it. Could be all three…
Have a great day!
Katie says
YAY Colorado! I liked the shout out to my state. 🙂
Paige(Running Around Normal) says
That smoothie parfait looks awesome! Sounds like it’d be filling, too.
Jenny says
I love the snowpea color! It matches all my kitchen stuff:)
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
those rush bowls are seriously incredible! the first time you tried them i went straight to whole foods and got one…HOLY YUM 🙂
Camille says
The Rush bowls look so good!
Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies says
Those rush bowls looks really good – that acai flavor sounds awesome. I will definitely be looking for them at Whole Foods.
skinnyrunner says
your breakfast looks so artful and pretty!
it would be interesting to know if it holds the hunger at bay longer…
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
I was surprised that all the extra calories I had consumed when eating out kept me much more full than usual! I didn’t even need to snack through out the day.
Nicole at Laugh OutLoud says
Hey! I gave you a blogger award on my blog today! Come check it out! 🙂
Kath says
Thanks!!
Hillary says

Claire says
I seriously love your spoons and think you should do a round up post, just sayin’
Oh and buddha bowls, yes please!
Veggielady4life says
Every once in a while it’s nice to have a nice big treat! No reason this breakfast can’t be that for ya!
SallyH @ acountablelife.wordpress.com says
I hope there are Buddha Bowls left at the same time those 3 packs of nut butters come in! Crossing my fingers for good timing.
