Secret Adventure

We’re up early this AM to embark on a secret adventure!!! Any guesses to where we’re going?

The plan was to go for a run when we got up, but I just wasn’t feeling it. My legs are tired from yesterday’s triathlon and I had a little bit of a headache and no energy.

So instead of running I reached for the most energizing breakfast I could think of –

A green smoothie

IMG_7680 (1024x768) 

And a bowl of yogurt with berries, flax and granola

IMG_7682 (1024x768)

My smoothie contained:

  • Packet Green SuperFood
  • Small overripe banana
  • 2 handfuls spinach
  • 1 cup soy milk
  • Handful ice

IMG_7678 (1024x768)

IMG_7683 (1024x768)

And this was 1 cup of TJ’s European yogurt (second best in the world to greek yogurt) with raspberries, blueberries and blackberries with some Zoe’s Granola and 1 tbsp flax.

IMG_7681 (1024x768)

Energizing complete!

Latest on Gather: Nothing To Lose.

We’re hitting the road. Be back after dinner with a day’s recap!

    Glad to see you jumping on the green smoothie bandwagon Kath! I have one at least every day. But todays was purple because I was out of spinach 😀

    I made green monster ice cream last night.
    Seriously, just freeze your smoothie and eat – sooo good!

    Or maybe off to visit another blogger!

    I love a good mystery. 😉

    Hey Kath

    I tried green oats today for the first time! I have steel cut oats with cottage cheese, flax, nuts & fruit just about everyday….and I’ve been meaning to try them green for a while. So this time I added spinach and subbed natural PB for the nuts….DELISH! You really can’t taste the spinach!! It did look really gross, but so worth it 🙂

    Don’t feel bad about skipping your run today – even though I’m training for a marathon I only run 3 days a week because 1) it’s better for injury-prevention, and 2) I enjoy my runs more that way when I don’t make myself run every day!

    I’m sure your GM hit the spot! 🙂

    I read your article on Gather and loved it. I could relate to what you were saying – I reasoned with myself to pay the extra bucks to do yoga so that I could be in the “gain” atmosphere. I can never motivate myself to do yoga alone for more than 20 mins where as in the yoga class, 90 mins seem to fly by so fast.

    Do you feel like those smoothies hold you over well until lunch time? I feel like whenever I make one, I don’t last more than a couple hours… I always need more carbs, it seems…

    LocalSpice,
    This breakfast was perfectly filling and lasted me from 8 until 1pm.

    Jasmine T,
    We should be announcing in the next few days!

    Amanda @ Cakes and Ale,
    A smoothie alone doesn’t do it – unless I fill it with oats, yogurt, and more filling things. I prefer to have something carb-y with it or in it.

    Katharina ,
    I love Zoe’s and Nature’s Path. And Mix My Granola if you can swing a little extra $$ 🙂
