Loving the Dough Boy Smoothie so much!!!

IMG_6611Blog

I love that it’s not cold – so the fact that it’s a chilly spring morning doesn’t mean I can’t have a smoothie. I love that it’s thick and doughy and that the only thing I have to clean is the vita-mix, which gets a good rinse and a quick scrub and it’s all done.

Today I added strawberries to give it a touch of pink!

Strawberry Dough Boy Smoothie

Loving the Dough Boy Smoothie so much!!! I love that it’s not cold – so the fact that it’s a chilly spring morning doesn’t mean I can’t have a smoothie.

All the doughiness of overnight oats in a delicious smoothie form.

I had my smoothie with some Gypsy Coconut Chia Chai tea that I got for Xmas!

Last night I went to bed feeling really anxious. A lot of important emails came in my inbox (including our taxes from our new accountant! Ahhh!) and I went to bed with a massive to-do list for this morning. I’m slowing chipping away and hope I’ll be able to get back to regular scheduling by the afternoon since for once my calendar is wide open today. Breathe. Breathe.

    I don’t think I can handle another day without trying those coconut chips! I want the dough boy smoothie too, but the hubs shattered my mixer and well a Vita-Mix is in my very distant future!

    Awesome. Who wouldn’t love a Vita-Mix? I eye ’em every time I am in Costo (where they are a *little* bit cheaper), but haven’t been willing to shell out the moolah for one yet.

    That smoothie always looks so good… I’m guessing it tastes like blended overnight oats? 🙂

    Holy cow – I would love to win a VitaMix!I’m already following you, so for now I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

    I tried a version of your dough boy smoothie yesterday for breakfast and it tasted so good! The texture was so creamy!

    I love the touch of pink in the smoothie:) I’m a berries girl! Chai tea is one of my favourite teas. I have not tried any Gypsy coconut chai tea though (Actually, I didn’t know there is such a thing). Why is it that I never get such interesting gifts for xmas?

    Strawberries and banana is my fave combo! Yogurt is always my go-to smoothie thickener. Will defo try soaking the milk + chia seeds overnight instead for a change..

    Ack! Something isn’t working for me on their sign-up page…will try again later today. (It just keeps re-loading the same page when I try to put my info in and press “sign up”). Who knows, it’s probably somehow my fault!

    looks yummy! Do you the satiety of the doughboy smoothie is the same as hot oatmeal? This would be great for summer!

    AHHH! I am so making that for breakfast tomorrow!!! =D Did a SIAB this morning at around 7 AM, but feeling hungry already – this looks like it’ll be a good fix for that!

    Hope you can work your way through the to do list, I am still very impressed at how you and Matt are handling all of this!

    Maybe if you have any downtime you should start planning a vacation for late in the year to celebrate everything!

    Oh, I ALMOST bought a Vita-Mix this weekend. It was QVC’s special value thing..but still, at $449, I couldn’t bring myself to buy it. School comes first 🙁

    Also, did those chalkboard wine glasses ever make their debut with OpenSky?

    I’ve been stressed lately, busy time of year for me with wrapping up the school year. My “theme” song lately is Keep Breathing by Ingrid Michaelson. Have you heard it? Love it. 🙂

    I need to try one of these dough boy smoothies. I recently bought a bag of unsweetened coconut (inspired by you!). I have slowly started to add it to EVERYTHING.
    Good luck with your to do list! You’ll feel better once you start crossing things off.

    I LOVE that Gypsy tea. I have a Pumpkin Spice one that is SO yummy!

    And I recently got that exact same VitaMix – you are so right, you don’t realize what you’ve been missing out on until you start playing around with it!

    I tried out a version of your dough boy this morning for the first time, and fell in love. I can see a definite streak of smoothies in my near future. I also love how they aren’t cold, and its just like thinned out cookie dough for breakfast! Thanks for the inspiration per usual kath 🙂 good luck with your day!

    Ooh, a Vita-mix would be awesome. My mom just got one, and I’m SO jealous. I blend everything in the food processor. I did break out the blender a couple times recently, but it makes a weird smell when I use it. Not sure if that’s normal or just from non use.

    Made my first batch of coconut butter this weekend in my vitamixer, and I am so happy to hear that it softens up when it warms up. We are still cold here in Idaho:(.

    That smoothie looks so good! This is the best giveaway!!! I have been wanting a Vita-Mix so badly! I can never make any of these amazing smoothies I keep seeing because I don’t have a blender. 🙁 So it would be awesome to win one! 🙂

    Crazy, just before I read your blog today I was reading “Peas and Thank You” and saw Mama Pea’s Vitamix. Then I thought to myself “Oh man, I would LOVE to have one. Maybe someday someone will have a giveaway”! Maybe today will be my lucky day?!? 😉

    I’m so trying out this overnight oat- type smoothie! Looks delicious, and love that you added coconut and strawberries this time! Chocolate next, maybe? 🙂

    Oh My Gosh!! I Made one of your dough boy smoothies this morning and added strawberries too!!! How Funny!?!?!

    I would LOVE a vita-mix… Just don’t have the extra cash for one right now! A dietitian’s salary doesn’t go too far… 😉

    If only my blender worked well enough, I would make this. 🙂
    But now I’m following you on OpenSky! Yay!

    I already follow you and hope I can win a Vita-Mix! My old blender died and this would be an amazing replacement! (much better than a cheap blender from the store!)

    I’ve recently started making green smoothies. I love them but my family can not stand the texture they have made with my old Osterizer. I really want a Vitamix to make a nice smooth texture so I can get my family consuming more veggies. When I first heard about the Vitamix I thought there was no way I would pay that much for blender. Now I’m saving pennies for one. I hope I can win one and get it much faster that way.

    Just joined OpenSky to follow you. Looking forward to seeing how this works! I give my food processor quite a workout, so a Vitamix would be a real treat. PS – Coconut Chai tea sounds great…especially alongside a ripe banana.

    A friend (and coworker) of mine recently purchased a Vita-Mix and I’ve been drooling over it ever since. I’d love to win one and be able to cross is off my wish list! Thanks, I just followed you with OpenSky. I’m new to that so I wasn’t sure if there was anything else I needed to do. I’m anxious to follow you and your delicious recipes too (:
