I slept pretty well last night, but I’m still so tired! I could easily go back to bed if I had all the time in the world. Instead there are things that need to be done!
I hoped a bowl of oatmeal would put some pep in my step – a delightful mix of whipped banana oats with strawberries, granola and almond butter.
I hope you all had delicious breakfasts as well! Want to talk about food some more? Today’s BERF post is all about it.

I had a good night sleel as well, but I am so tired that I think I will fall asleep at my desk, I hoped my breakfast would wake me up but nothing helps, and I hate coffee! 🙁
Jasper {crunchylittlebites} says
Hope you’re able to get everything done today Kath 🙂 have a great one!
Jacqueline says
At least it looks like breakfast was worth getting out of bed for! Love the crunch mixed in with the oats. Hope you find energy throughout the day!
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
love the purple bowl with that tablecloth (or napkin?)!! i always make sure to have a delicious breakfast… it’s my favorite meal of the day after all. 🙂
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I wanted hot oats this morning soooo bad but ran out of time. It was 40 degrees when I woke up! I need summer to get here and stay!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Ugh I HATE days like that! So weird how sometimes you can get less sleep and feel fabulous and then some days you get plenty and just can’t wake up!
Cait's Plate says
Now that’s my kinda breakfast 🙂 Looks delicious and hope it does the trick to give you the boost you need!
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh says
If that doesn’t put a pep in yo’ step, I don’t know what will! 🙂 Happy Monday!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
Cute purple bowl! Is that new?
Have a fabulous Monday! My breakfast is delicious and featuring coffee that I anticipate will be refilled any minute… 😉
Anna @ On Anna's Plate says
This morning was a two-cup coffee morning for me, definitely. Hope your pep kicks in soon!

Now that’s how you start a Monday off! Great night’s sleep and a perfect bowl of oats. Have a great one Kath!
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
It has been a 2 cup morning for me too. I think it’s from all the rain. Enjoy your day Kath!
KhushbOo says
Love that the straw & bowl match 🙂

Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
Your morning breakfast colour palette is sure ‘peppy”…love the purple bowl with the green striped cloth! Quite delish!
Robyn @ Blueberries and Oats says
Question about putting granola on oats: Do you find it gets soggy? o.O Or do you not mix it in?
KathEats says
I don’t mix it in… It stays crunchy on top
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
gah! i had the WORST night’s sleep… would have stayed in bed all day if it was up to me!! enjoy the day, kath 🙂
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
I could easily go back to bed, too! But there’s too much to do, I agree! 🙂
Stephanie @ Legally Blinde says
I love your purple bowl and matching purple straw! Hope you find some extra energy, or that you’re able to squeeze in a nap sometime 🙂 I enjoyed today’s BERF post a lot!
Annette @FitnessPerks says
I feel just like you too–I could totally go back to bed, but alas, life and work calls 😉

A good bowl of oatmeal always gets me started in the morning.
Grace @ Grace Dishes says
Your breakfast looks so yum!
I had a frittata for breakfast this morning with leftovers from this weekend.
j3nn says
It’s strawberry season, alright! Now I want strawberry oat muffins, as if I’ve ever even had one. haha
Amanda Cowan says
I’m just curious about your portioning for your oats. I find that if I try to eat more than a 1/3 cup (dry, which I think makes about a 1/2 cup prepared or so.. maybe a little more) that I just feel too full, uncomfortably so. Which makes it hard to add fun toppings. So I got to wondering about your portioning because your bowls look so full! But maybe you’re using small bowls??
KathEats says
I use 1/3 a cup and plump it up with banana + fruit. I have a big stomach!
Amanda Cowan says
Well that’s just about what ends up being perfect for me, leaving room to plump it with the goodies. I think my bowls must be bigger than yours, so it makes my 1/3 cup plus goodies look smaller. btw- I added strawberries for the first time today (and we just opened our first bag of chia seeds) and they were delish warm in the oatmeal. Even my husband liked it and he’s not a huge oats fan but I make him switch it out from eggs twice a week for his cholesterol and blood pressure… Although he keeps teasing me about the chia seeds, talking about how FULL he is.. since they plump up so much..haha.
KathEats says
🙂 My bowls do range a lot in size. My Pottery Barn ones (the one lunch salad is coming in a few mins) are much bigger
Angel7 says
I need some pep in my step!!! I might have to take an afternoon nap while our daughter is napping.

Sarah @ Fresh Living says
Thanks for the whipped banana oats recipe. I’ll definitely be trying that this week!
Johanna B says
I don’t normally comment on your bowls (tho’ I do like them) but this morning I am enamored with the photo of your purple bowl and the strawberries peeking out of your oats. Be-a-u-ti-ful!!!!
