Rush Slush

I’ve got to be in 30 minutes early today and am running beeee-hind!

I decided last night it would be a great day for a Rush Bowl.

I woke up craving hot oatmeal, but cold fruited blend was all I had time for. It sure was easy enough to "cook" 🙂

Today I chose the Yoga Bowl, #3 of my selection of 4 samples.

IMG_5118 (640x427)

Components:

IMG_5120 (640x427)

It’s got 300 calories, 6 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein. I was hoping for a bit more protein, so I added a half cup of greek yogurt to the bottom of my bowl, plus a few Chia seeds and a generous blob of Nuttzo! This bowl has gotta hold me 5+ hours!

IMG_5136 (640x427)

The flavor was good – not quite as strong in the berry dept as the other flavors though so a little less strong in general. I could taste the pineapple!

IMG_5135 (640x427)

IMG_5126 (640x427)

I was going to have tea given my time crunch, but coffee was calling my name!

Wait for it….

IMG_5122 (640x427)

A horse!

IMG_5130 (640x427)

Speaking of Yoga Bowls, YOGITOES is now in my Open Sky store 🙂 LOVE my purple yoga towel that I got for Christmas!! There are lots of pretty colors to choose from.

    Hi Kath,
    I read your blog everyday, but lately it has felt a lot more like a giant commercial for your OpenSky store. I understand why you are doing it, but just to let you know, I probably won’t be clicking through here any more if all the posts are just mini-ads. When I read blogs, I like to feel inspired to have more enjoyment in my life, my meals, etc. through new recipes and new ideas without feeling like I need to buy more things to achieve that.

    DITTO to what Andy said. Kath, you are money conscious, I know this from reading you. You try to spend as little money as possible at the grocery store (as well as in other areas of your life) and take liberal advantage of promotional products and freebies. So, how can you in good conscience sell something that you would never buy?

      Lynn in general I really respect readers’ right to critisize bloggers (or just have a disenting opinion without getting jumped on) but some rephrasing could be a beautiful thing. You are not implying thrifty, but basically calling Kath cheap. Looking for sales at the grocery store while also occasionaly attending nice dinners out is sensible, not cheap. And I wouldn’t call accepting samples from companies “taking liberal advantage” of promotional products.

        I agree with Lynn and andy, and I don’t think Lynn’s criticism “implied” anything insulting–certainly nobody said anything about anyone being “cheap.” I, too, am an every-day reader of Kath’s blog and others, and I think that when blogs become advertisements for products or companies, it often seems to go against the mantra of so many blog writers: that eating and living healthfully is attainable and realistic for everyone, even those of us who don’t receive expensive products promotionally.

          Many blog readers have said in the past that they like the product reviews. I think trying out stuff and giving honest reviews is a fun plus of the blogging community. I know I learn about products from other bloggers that I have never tried and it helps me.

            Sue,
            I don’t think anyone advocated that bloggers should stop taking ads or products–I have no problem with bloggers reviewing viable products as possible inclusions in healthy lifestyles. However, somehow we have become the direct commercial market of bloggers themselves, and the products that we are being “sold” are often vastly expensive and unreasonable. Furthermore, it would be possible for bloggers to have stores, such as Open Sky, without constantly plugging them within blog posts that are meant to be “healthy living” posts.

      Lynn,
      First off, you really know nothing about my spending habits.

      But secondly, I do own a lot of the items in my store and have bought them with my own money. Yogitoes, french press, Krups kettle (which I bought from myself!), chia seeds (ditto), my cameras, many of the OXO items, Circulon, stick blender, HRM, coffee grinder. I feel that I am pretty conscious of prices when I’m evaluating things that might go in. While the Nuttzo or coconut butter might be pricey for a nut butter, they are still relatively inexpensive in the scheme of cost. So you can’t claim that I’m selling things I would never buy!

    Dear Kath,
    It really makes me mad when you try to earn a living doing what you truly love because I’m in a job I don’t like. It also makes me mad when you get things for free because I don’t. And I hate it when you sell stuff because if I buy it you’ll get money and somehow that’s wrong. But please keep writing this blog every single day 3 times a day even when you are out late at night and working like crazy and going to school because it keeps me entertained. ‘kay? Thanks. Bye.

    Miserably yours,

    @Jam, If the blog readers are not “the direct commercial market of bloggers themselves” who is? That’d be like saying “when I watch House I feel like I’m the direct commercial market of the TV show ads.” Um, yeah, that’s advertising and commericials work. The alternative is public radio-like fundraising which would mean for weeks at a time there’d be nothing but endless requests for money with very little content. And it would mean you’d be expected to send money to Kath.

    And so far all the stuff Kath sells on her Open Sky site is geared towards healthy living. And lots of people can afford what she sells. If you can’t or you choose not to and you decide not to support her in any other way that’s your choice. But to say that she’s becoming to commercial or reminding people about her store says much more about your own issues with money and earning than it does about Kath’s behavior.
