Good morning to you all! Sleeping much better with my lower doses of caffeine : )
You know how Rumpelstiltskin turned straw into gold?
These raw ingredients turned into liquid gold
Liquid green gold
The Mix
- (for TWO smoothies)
- 2 big handfuls spinach
- 1 banana
- 1/3 cup oats
- 1/3 cup Vega Choc-a-lot
- 2 tbsp PB flour (sadly couldn’t taste it at all)
- 1.5 cups milk
Toppings included toasted buckwheat (I think I said mine was raw a while ago, but it’s definitely toasted from the WF bulk bins) So nice and crunchy on top! Plus a sprinkle of Ambrosial granola and coconut butter!
Vixen strut her stuff right onto my bowl!
I’m meeting Faith at my gym for BodyPump (it’s bring-a-friend-for-free-First-Friday!) today and then have a writing project for the afternoon. Tonight is the First Friday Gallery Crawl again!
Have fun at the gym! I love that spoon by the way in your photos!
How sad you couldn’t taste the pb flour. I bet it would have made the smoothie even more phenomenal.
I like the little reindeer. 🙂
Ohh I’m craving a GM now…I’ve got some spinach in the fridge too, so maybe it’s worth it to dirty up the blender for lunch 🙂
Have a great class! I’m still hunting for peanut flower but Whole Foods is on my agenda next weekend – hopefully I’ll find it there! Have a great Friday, Kath 🙂
Can’t wait to get my coconut butter in the mail! Should be arriving any day now. Seems like I could put it on everything!
I have yet to try a smoothie in a bowl with some toppings. I’m struggling to keep my spinach intake up since it has turned cold.
I need to start making more smoothies.
Love the pictures! I could go for a green smoothie about now 🙂
Sound like you have a great day planned! Enjoy it!
I overdid it on the coffee yesterday and slept bad! But maybe it was the wine…less of both today!
There definitely are raw buckwheat groats out there, I used to eat a raw parfait with them in Portland.
Let’s pump it up!
Have fun at BodyPump 😀 Glad this morning is better with less caffiene! Yay!
This makes me want to go through the WF bulk bin! And then buy a blender.
It is a truth universally known that coconut butter makes everything better 🙂
Looks delish as always. And love the reindeer. 🙂
When I saw “liquid gold,” I thought about “garlic gold,” and then I thought” “Ugh?! Garlic gold for breakfast?!?” This looks much better! 🙂
Vixen is too cute 🙂
Happy Friday!
Looks amazing! I want to try Body Pump. It seems like everyone enjoys it!
Have a great day!
LOL @ Vixen! So cute 😀
have fun at body pump! vixen is hilarious…love how you play with your food 🙂
Spinach is such a great way to start the day! When I get green juice in the AM I have sooooo much energy!
Is Vixen a girl? Nice to have company while you eat! Enjoy the day – Happy Friday!
Love the holiday touches 🙂
The toasted buckwheat is a perfect compliment to so many dishes that need a little crunch!
Looks super yummy. However, I’d love to know where you got that big storage glass container for your oatmeal?!? I’ve been looking for one just like that 🙂 Ikea, Crate and Barrel? I’d sure love to know 🙂
You should do a post all about your storage containers, dishes, decorating, etc.
I think Bed Bath beyond… not 100% sure!
ha, Vixen is so cute!! How festive 😀
Those gallery crawls are such a neat idea and look like such fun. I wish my town did something like that. Have a good body pump workout with Faith!
love green monsters! never thought of adding buckwheat for the crunch- nice idea!
Not denying that the breakfast looks yummy, but I love your spoon!
That reindeer wants in on the action. 😛 Looks delicious!
Hope Pump is great today. I’ll hope for a good playlist for you! 😉
I really need to cut down on my caffeine. Not only am I having trouble sleeping but I’ve become dependant on the stuff. If I don’t drink caffeine during the day than I get a headache. Not good at all!
So glad you’re sleeping better! Umm…can I please come to your house for breakfast?! This is amazing!!
smoothie looks great, but wowza…no way at all I could’ve had one for breakfast…it was 5 degrees here this morning! Briing on the oats!
love,
cathy b. @ brightbakes
There was no ice so it wasn’t cold!
I usually have a problem with my smoothies not being thick enough if i don’t add ice….but then I realized…..I haven’t been adding oats, either! Will certainly have to try…
love,
cathy b. @ brightbakes
Peanut flour tastes really good if it’s the star of the smoothie and there aren’t any other protein powders added. I love it in peanut butter cup smoothies!
Yeah, Plain buckwheat is a bit greenish..yours looks toasted to me 🙂
I’ve never had buckwheat but it looks so toasty and yummy!
That bowl looks delish!
That sound like the golden ticket breakfast! I think the buckwheat looks incredible…I’ll have to grab some next time I’m near a WF!
Oh gosh, beautiful! If I didn’t know I was going to two fancy restaurants in Melboure on my holiday today, I’d be more jealous 😉
What is that Vega stuff like? I picked it up myself but generally hate powders.
I like it…not sure how it compares to other powders because I haven’t tried a ton.
Ooh I love that placemat! Vixen is a naughty girl
This post totally reminded me of how much I miss my Cali bowl!
