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
And a bowl of yogurt with berries, flax and granola
My smoothie contained:
- Packet Green SuperFood
- Small overripe banana
- 2 handfuls spinach
- 1 cup soy milk
- Handful ice
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.
Energizing complete!

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

Leah @ Simply Fabulous says
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!
Meghann says
Yay for secret adventures!
Nat says
Visiting Meghann?? 🙂
Anne K. says
Ooh have fun, wherever you’re going! 😀 Your breakfast looks so yummy.

Have fun! Ooo. Visiting Meghann sounds like a good guess.
Christina says
Have fun on your secret adventure!
Tammy says
I love Greek yogurt, so I’ll have to try European next!
Rachel (Rachel's Work Bites) says
I looooove the look of that green smoothie! How refreshing!
Lori says
I’m doing a green monster today, too!
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
That yogurt mix sounds so amazing! Have a wonderful day today… can’t wait to hear where you are going in the recap tonight! 🙂

Can’t wait to hear about your adventure! Looks like you had a nice energizing breakfast!
brandi says
hmmm…how far is Asheville? 🙂
I wish we had something like that symphony here! It sounds like so much fun.
Tina says
Pretty pictures, colorful and great breakfast! Wish it was nice enough weather here to eat outside!
Vanessa (Last Night's Leftovers) says
Oooh, enjoy your adventure!
K says
Have fun on your secret adventure!!
Recipes for Creativity says
Sorry no one showed up last night at the symphony, it sure looked like fun!
Breakfast looks delish…is there a TJ’s in Charlotte?
Herald says
What a great looking breakfast. I have never heard of those GreenSuper packets. Can you buy them in a normal grocery store?
Alison says
My first guess is that maybe it has something to do with the Blog Summit?? You’re going to be gone all day…. hmmmm
Or maybe off to visit another blogger!
I love a good mystery. 😉
debbie says
Hey Kath, enjoy your adventure! I can’t wait to find out all about your day, so I’ll be back.
Blessings – Debbie
Jen Papaya says
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 🙂
april says
Have a great day on your secret adventure!
Bec says
wooo cant wait to see what the adventure is!
Justy2003 says
Hmmm…secret adventure. Looking forward to seeing what it is!
MarathonVal says
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! 🙂
sonia says
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.
rhodeygirl says
you’re SO driving over to that pretty little town to meet up with Meghann!
Sarah (Tales of Expansion) says
ooooh, the suspense of your secret adventure!! can’t wait to read all about it 🙂
Danielle says
Ooh can’t wait to see where you go 🙂
LocalSpice says
your yogurt bowls always look SO amazing! do you get super full after the bowl and the smoothie, or are they small portions. I would feel like a brick was in my stomache for a few hours..i swear!
Run Sarah says
Cant wait to read abou your secret adventure this AM!
rita says
I am guessing you and the husband are going to investigate something re his plans on opening his own bakery/store????
Jasmine T says
Hey Kath, love the blog and your secret adventure. Just wanted to check in on the blogger summit. While I would love to come, can you give us any more details on where and when? We need to put time in for annual leave soon!
Amanda @ Cakes and Ale says
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…
Hallie says
Yeah, what RhodeyGirl said! So meeting up with Meghann. Have a great time! (well, have a great time no matter what you are doing today)
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
I love secret adventures!
have fun 😉
Jenn (www. j3nn.net ) says
Berries + granola are so pretty!
Jenn
Sarah says
OBGYN? 🙂 Well, scratch that, you had a bottle of wine last night. Dang.
Michelle Hisae says
Love reading your articles!
Karina (Like Some Cat From Japan) says
With a breakfast like that, I’m sure you will have an amazing day. But I’ll tell you to have a good one anyways, just in case!
Everything looks delightful.
Katharina says
Hey Kath! Hope you’re enjoying the beginning of the week. 🙂
I was wondering – do you have an granola recommendations? Thanks!
Emily (The Experimentarian) says
That granola does look super good! I’ve been craving granola like mad lately, and decided to experiemnt with making my own low-calorie version. If anyone is interested in teh recipe, you can find it here 🙂

Secret Adventure?
Can’t wait to find out what it is!
Jenn Eats Nutritiously Now says
That looks so pretty.
Emily says
Have fun with Meghann today!! 😉
At least that’s my guess anyway… hehe!
Jessica says
Secret adventures are always so much fun, can’t wait to read all about it.
Elizabeth says
Hmm… secret adventures are my favorite, but I have no clue what you crazy kids are up to!
Hope you had a good time!
Lynette says
Enjoy your adventure – sounds like fun!
Shannon says
I love how colorful your meals always are. Meals should always be that enticing
Faith says
Your breakfast looks so healthy and energizing! I think I’m inspired to make a green smoothie 🙂
Chris says
My guess is something to do with opening your own bakery that you have mentioned in the past.
Sues says
I really need to try that Green SuperFood! I love green smoothies and should totally be making my own. YUM!
Joelle (Chasing Pavements) says
yay for secret adventures!
Kathi says
I’m guessing it’s heading south to consider a bakery too!
Kath says
Recipes for Creativity,
Yes, we have two.
Herald ,
I think you can. Check out their website for a store finder.
Kath
Kath says
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 $$ 🙂
Kath
