P For Peppermint

Sure feels like a Monday here!! Matt (who fell asleep in the arm chair and didn’t come to bed until 3AM!) went in to work (busy holidaze) early this morning (well, late for him – about 8:30) and I groggily rolled down the stairs to satisfy my growling stomach. I was going to make a green smoothie since I have all this spinach from the salad-that-was-never-served but smoothies are coooooold and pumpkin oats are warrrrm!

So I give you: Pumpkin Chocolate Peppermint Oatmeal

IMG_1540 (427x640)

IMG_1538 (640x427)

  • 1/3 cup oats
  • 1 tbsp 9 grain cereal
  • Pinch salt, cinnamon, vanilla
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin, stirred in at end
  • Cacao Bliss
  • Cacao Nibs
  • Crushed candy cane
  • Maranatha AB

IMG_1539 (640x427)

Rounded out the theme with Peppermint Creme and some Decaf Pumpkin Spice

P for Peppermint!!

Happy Birthday To My Grandmother Kiehne!!!

I’m meeting Emily for a run in a little bit, but the rest of my "Monday" will be spent working on a freelance article for Breathe. It’s a long one so it’s going to take me a while!

    Just something constructive, your oats look epic but I think that I personally would have preferred them omitting the AB and Pumpkin. I tried pumpkin oatmeal and nearly chucked up. I think that it is the worst oatmeal addition I have tried to date but that’s just me, whatever floats your boat, go for it 🙂

      Funny because I think that pumpkin is perhaps the most perfect oatmeal addition. I do think it’s an acquired taste. I started with sweetening them a bit and then got used to pumpkin on its own.

    Hi Kath. I have a question. What is a healthy serving of tofu for one meal? Sometimes at lunch I have about 2 – 2.5 oz added to a meal. Can I have 4-6 oz for a meal? That is approximately 1/4-1/3 of a 454 g block of tofu. Thanks Kath.

      There’s really no way for me to comment on your portion size without knowing a lot more about your lifestyle, activity level, appetite and other foods you’re eating. I often eat half a block at a time, so it’s probably fine.

    I’ve thought about combining peppermint, chocolate and pumpkin together in a smoothie so many times, but wasn’t sure how the pumpkin would work with the mint. Good to know it worked; I’ll try it soon!

    Hey Kath- great blog! I’ve been thinking about doing this for past weeks now since I have big box of candy canes left from christmas! But I couldn’t find anyone else who had tried and I didn’t want to waste a good bowl of oatmeal. How did you like it overall? Thanks, great blog!
