Back in our groove
~4.5 miles in the HOT HOT morning sun!
Couldn’t have done it without a little ‘ade help in my camelbak!
We slept until the sun woke us up around 7:30 and then set out on our run. Once back, I worked on smoothies for the group.
Ingredients were unknown amounts of:
- Banana
- 1% milk
- Raw rolled oats
- Vega Vanilla Almond
- Chia seeds
- Ice
- Strawberries
Sadly eggs and Puffins seemed to take priority over smoothies and suddenly everyone just wanted “a taste” and I slurped up my SIAB happily solo
And example of the eggs Matt made! [He complimented with smoothie!]
I topped mine with a little granola + coconut mix I brought in a tupperware and coconut butter magic shell
These Puffin crumbs also got incorporated!
The vibe here is more relaxed – no one is rushing out to the ocean! Matt and i are going hunting for an umbrella after breakfast dishes are done.
And I still have 150 pages to read!!!
Have a great day guys 🙂
Dorry says
Those smoothies look refreshing and yummy. There’s nothing better than PB Puffins crumbs. 🙂
Pat Kilmain says
I must be the only person who doesn’t like PB Puffins? 🙂 Love the original flavor though.
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
Haha you sound like me when I was in high school desperately trying to read up my boring summer reading books for English class. I woulda partook in your smoothie party!
Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday says
Yikes! The weather is so painfully hot this week I don’t know how you could stand it
Jessica @ How Sweet says
I was I was right in that last picture!
shannon (the daily balance) says
those smoothies look heavenly, I would have definitely participated in the smoothie love club 😉
enjoy your day relaxing! I am more jelous than you can imagine 😉
Amanda @ Vegacious says
Nothing beats smoothies for breakfast in the summer for me!
Robyn @ Frugal 'n' Fit! says
Wow, those eggs look perfect! As does the smoothie, but I would expect nothing less 🙂
Rachel (Two Healthy Plates) says
Aww, so sad about the smoothies! Most people run off when I offer to make them a green monster. I actually coaxed my spinach-hating sister into trying one this past weekend and she loved it!
Katie says
Dear Kath, I am living vicariously through your blog this week. Thank you!!! 🙂
Wei-Wei says
Smoothies sound great 😉 I always feel like that when I make anything “healthy”. The rest of my family is skeptical and they have “just a taste”, compliment it, then go back to their own stuff 🙁 Ah well, more for me? But not before it all goes bad! D:

Evan Thomas says
You guys look drenched! It’s def too hot to run here today
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
A smoothie after a run in the heat sounds perfect to me!
Meredith (Pursuing Balance) says
Nothing like a cold refreshing smoothie after a summer workout! I’m curious, what is the texture like with the oats and chia seeds? Hope you have another lovely day at the beach! Don’t forget the sunscreen 🙂
wishful nals says
looks so peaceful. have a great day!
Marina says
those smoothies look like a perfect post-run fuel on a hot day!
Samantha says
Hi, Are great harvest breads made only with sourdough leavening? And, is Dakota bread 100% ww?
S
Kath says
Per Matt: “Most are made with commercial yeast and are not sour and Dakota is 100% WW”
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I would have gone for the smoothie especially after you topped it with all that goodness! Enjoy your reading today…hope you find shade!
Courtney (Pancakes & Postcards) says
Those do look beautiful! Though even after all this time I still struggle with smoothie as “food” instead of smoothie as “caloric and nutritious drink to consume while also eating copious amounts of solid food at the same time”… i am working on it!
HeatherBakes says
These posts are making me miss the beach!!
I love how you guys take big family vacations- they always look like so much fun 🙂
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Ahhh, I just got back from a sweaty run too! Don’t you love running on vacation? Have a fun day!
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
I am so jealous of your vacation. You completely deserve it Kath.
Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies says
Mmm – those eggs look delish – nice and peppery!! And the smoothie sounds so good!
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
I totally would have drank up that smoothie concoction this morning. SO HOT!! A nice cold smoothie must have been amazing after a sweaty morning run.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on that book!! I still haven’t read it even though it’s been sitting on my bookshelf for some time now. 😀
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
A smoothie sounds perfect after a hot run!
Camille says
Looks toasty out there! Props on a good long run!
Anya @ Fitness & Sunshine says
Those eggs do look pretty yummy 🙂 but smoothies are great for hot weather!
Courtney @ Three Months says
The smoothie looks great. I MUST try adding oats to my smoothies!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
What a fabulous morning! I would’ve still had your smoothie 😉
Sara says
That smoothie looks so cool and refreshing right now- it is so hot by me!! Hope you enjoy your “rush-free” day! 🙂
Sami says
So sorry about your unappreciated smoothie efforts. 🙁 Have a good day!
Kelsey @ CleanTeenKelsey says
What a bummer about that smoothie. Those people are crazy. 😛 I can’t imagine having KERF make a smoothie for me and not drinking it! Oh well, at least you can freeze the leftovers and eat them like ice cream?
abbi says
That smoothie after a hot run in the heat looks perfect!
MelanieF says
Wow! I cannot wait to be on vacation. I have 60 more days to go before our annual Florida vacation. 🙁
Ashley says
Love the coconut magic shell…I need to make more! I would have devoured the smoothies!!!
[email protected] says
Yay for a morning run! Looks a fun place to run.
Again, have fun with the book.
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
hey, i’ll take one of the smoothies! 🙂 what a gorgeous view and a fabulous run i’m sure!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
enjoy your day, kath – sorry no one wanted to smoothie it up with you!
Jess @ MTL Veggie says
What I would give to be at the beach right now! Hope you’re able to find that umbrella! 🙂
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
I love the use of oats in smoothies – they bring them to another level 😀
Mary @ What's Cookin' with Mary says
If it weren’t so cold and dreary, I’d want a smoothie ASAP 😉 Please sun, come out!
Liz says
Aw, that last picture is beautiful! I just found your blog through Fitnessista and so far it seems pretty darn good, haha. Those smoothies looks delicious! Do you use a VitaMix Blender? I just use a normal one but it is not exactly equipped for smoothie-making.
Kath says
Welcome!! Yes, I do use a Vitamix. Love it!
Elizabeth @ Eat Clean Fun says
The smoothie looks amazing for sure! I love the Wilmington area, my parents live there in the winter time and it is beautiful. If anyone gets the chance to travel to North Carolina Beaches I say go for it!
Katherine says
I love that you have all the people to share a smoothie with. It is way hot to be running; you’re crazy!
Kaz says
I can’t imagine eating eggs for breakfast on a hot day like that. That smoothie would definitely be my first choice!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I admire your ability to run in the sun. I get so overheated with running in the blazing heat that I stick to the treadmill or later in the evening.
But sounds like you are having a blast.
Laura says
Another amazing, summery looking breakfast! Yum!
Although i can’t eat them in the morning, Matt’s eggs look scrumptious xx
Chelsey says
mmm that SIAB looked delicious!! I liked your additions!
Stacey @ Tipping the (Kitchen!) Scales says
I would have helped you drink the smoothies! I am seeing coconut butter all over the blogosphere lately but I can’t find any (in the UK). It’s a shame because I love coconut!

Nothing better then a little run when vacationing, it’s so enjoyable, well maybe not for everyone.
Hannah says
Have to say, I’d probably succumb to the Puffin love too 😛
