It may be back to winter temps, but there was a taste of summer here in household KERF today
Fresh veggie juice made with LIME!! Man, it threw lemon outta the park ; )
[Lime linens from Oh Little Rabbit!]
In my juice:
- Old apple not worthy of mouth crunching
- 1/2 a head of celery
- 1/2 a cucumber
- 2 carrots
- 1 whole entire lime
I LOVED this combo!
On the side…
Leftover coconuty millet headed up with some pecans and topped with a Grandmother-inspired soft boiled egg! It was quite delicious – runny yolk and all. For the soft boil, I just boiled an egg for about 4 minutes and then cracked it open and scraped out the insides into my bowl.
This lunch was fab, but didn’t leave me very full. I see a snack in my future!
I biked to Body Pump and back this morning. I’m feeling stroooong! Matt is running 1,000 errands for the bizness and I’m holding down the fort.
Happy Friday!!!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
I LOooooooVVVEE lime too! I drink lime and lemon essential oils in my water daily, so delish! Glad you are feelin’ strong in BP- it is such a great feeling, knowing you can lift and do more. Go YOU 🙂
Stacey (The Home-Cooked Vegan) says
I’d say that’s an appropriate linen 😉
Loving the lunch combo! I would never think to put an egg on millet! I usually think inside the box.
Happy Friday dance! Woot Woot!
PS. I hate these cold weather temps! It’s only 63 in NC today and tomorrow is going to be 53! Yikes! Better pull out the winter sweaters!
Nacho Lindsay says
I love a good soft boiled egg. I would recommend making breakfast nachos sometime. Or even savory oats- nachos!
Freya (Brit Chick Runs) says
LIME! Awesome idea to juice!! If I ever decide to dig out my juicer again (unlikely) that’d be top of my list 🙂
Stacy @ Every Little Thing says
I love hard-boiled eggs, so I need to try some soft-boiled! Looks like they’d be great over potatoes or even a bagel maybe. Happy Friday!
J3nn(Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Love runny yolk!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
That juice sounds delicious! I love the flavor of lime — so refreshing!
Eggs are my favorite — never had them soft boiled though!
Abby says
Love the lime linens! I need to add millet to my list of things to try! 🙂
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
Ohhh lime in a veggie juice sounds like such a delicious twist! Can’t wait until summer, when it’s in every drink 🙂
Amanda (The Nutritionist Reviews) says
I love soft yolks! I’m about to go make a couple of eggs now in fact.
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
Yum on that juice! Looks good!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Wow, that sounds like a delicious juice! Did you make it in a juicer or a blender? I don’t have a juicer but I’m contemplating it as my next gadget purchase!
KathEats says
Made it in the juicer
Baking 'n' Books says
I’ve never juiced before, can you do it in a blender?
I don’t really “get” it though…it takes out all the fiber and good stuff from the vegetables – so what are the benefits?
KathEats says
No, I have a juicer. In a blender it’s a smoothie
Mary Catherine says
Afternoon Kath! Do you think it’s the volume of the oats or the protein and fats in the nut butter topping that makes oatmeal for breakfast so filling? Oatmeal with almond butter & preserves keeps me full for hours, unlike any other breakfast I’ve tried! With the changing temps (it’ll reach 90 degrees in Austin tomorrow!) it just isn’t as appealing this time of year so I’m hoping to find another cool, satisfying breakfast that keeps my hunger at bay all morning! Any suggestions?
KathEats says
I think it’s a combo of volume, soluble fiber and macronutrients in the bowl! That’s why overnight oats are perfect for summatime 🙂
Stacey says
Cute tea towels! I love lime more than lemon as well, but lemon and lemon juice is more available when I go out but I will take lime when I can get it.
Ash @ Good Taste Healthy Me says
I definitely prefer lime over lemon. So tasty!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
I know this comment is getting repetitive, but I LOVE your linens!!!
[email protected] says
the limeade sounds so refreshing right about now~citrus in homemade juice is so good eh?
M says
I often eat a soft bolied egg on toast…in my mind it seems healthier than frying
up an egg (plus I think it even tastes better!)
[email protected] says
Oh I am definitely going to try lime in my next juice!
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
I love lime drinks!! Can’t wait till it warms up again 🙂
Melissa @ Journey to Marvelous says
The soft boiled egg looks yummy! I’ll have to try that in a dish sometime soon.
Morgan @ moments of mmm says
Looks delicious! What kind of juicer do you use?
KathEats says
Breville Juice Fountain Plus
Christine says
I love how eggs can go with anything now. Salads, burgers, pizza… millet. I love it!
Lesley Lifting Life says
Yum! That combo does sound really good … I just might have to do some juicing soon 🙂
kaila @ healthy helper! says
I love eggs on grain bowls! Kinda like a sweet and savory mix with the coconut butter!
Alaina says
I think I definitely prefer lime over lemon for my citrus needs. And combo’d with a coconut dish? Heaven. 🙂
Danielle says
By “whole entire lime”, do you mean WHOLE including the peel?
I love that strong feeling after a good workout. This morning I went from work (I work at my gym) to the elliptical and felt ti-red. So after 30 minutes of sweaty cardio I decided to jaunt home for lunch before doing my weight circuits. The bar I brought with me to munch on before provided little to no energy. You gotta do what you gotta do.
KathEats says
Yup!! Whole thing.
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
The lime drink looks awesome. LOVE The linens!! Soooo pretty. And the wheatgrass in the pic. All these little staging details…I read blogs with new photography eyes the past few months…it’s like 2 years of blogging and then BAM a lightbulb went off.
Have a great p.m. holding down the fort, Kath!
Susan (Oliepants) says
Runny eggs are the bestest! You have the prettiest linens!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Lunch looks delicious! I have fallen in love with runny yolks ever since my B vitamin issue…oops. Love the combination you have going on today. Enjoy your evening!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Your lunch sounds sooooo good! I would never to think to put an egg on top of that!
Caitlyn (The Spoonful of Life) says
This may be slightly random, but I just had my first tastes of Great Harvest bread! Oh my word is that bread amazing! I bought two loaves (and tried countless slices) and now have to figure out how to pack them in my suitcase to take home!
KathEats says
Not random, wonderful!
Caitlyn (The Spoonful of Life) says
Wonderful beyond words! I was very tempted to just eat GH bread for lunch 🙂
Cindy says
I’m craving some millet now! I definitely think that’s on the menu for dinner 🙂
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
What a great drink combination! I must gets eggs… I’ve seen so many different ways to use them around the blogs lately. Love the looks of that millet mixture.
Namaste Gurl says
I’lll have to try that technique some time!
Lucy @ The Sweet Touch says
I promised myself, NO more appliances!!! We just got done unpacking from a move and I realized how many I have (do I really need a quesadilla maker?!) But now you have me wondering if I “need” a juicer!
Maryann (The Balanced Bean) says
I need some bodypump back in my life! Yum-Ive been craving a veg juice lately…I need to make a trip to whole foods!

I love an egg on rice for breakfast. it one of my crazy little college girl things. Yours looks so much better, though!
