Happy Holiday to all!
We celebrated with a honkin’ smoothie in a bowl made with all of those plump strawbs from yesterday!
Can’t-Have-Too-Many-Berries Smoothie
Serves TWO
- 2 cups fresh plump strawberries
- 1 small banana
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- Toppings: Hemp Plus granola, buckwheat groats, puffed quinoa, sunflower butter
I brewed peppermint + rooibos teas in a pot on the stove and poured them over ice. It was good, but Matt’s iced coffee looked better!
It maybe be a holiday, but it’s a workday in our family. I’m going to Body Pump and then to the bakery for the rest of the day.

May 30, 2011 at 7:53 amTrue story: you can never have too many berries! Looks delicious! For what it’s worth, today was a working day for me (and the rest of the working population in Mumbai 🙂 )
Kelly says
May 30, 2011 at 8:05 amWell it’s actually not a holiday in the true sense. It’s a day of remembrance. I thought Kath would have at least acknowledged that.
KathEats says
May 30, 2011 at 8:43 amI’m remembering in private, actually
Molly @ RDexposed says
May 30, 2011 at 9:33 amI chose to quietly reflect today.

May 30, 2011 at 7:58 amThe smoothie sounds delicious! Perfect way to start the day! Have fun at body pump and the bakery!
Liv @ The Salty n' Sweet says
May 30, 2011 at 7:59 amBeautiful smoothie!!! Reminds me of melty strawberry ice cream, which is the most wonderful thing to me 🙂
Have a great holiday filled with lots of delicious eats!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
May 30, 2011 at 7:59 amThat smoothie looks delicious — so pretty and pink!
I don’t work today, but I’ll be doing plenty of work at home, so it doesn’t really seem like time off!
Stacy @ Every Little Thing says
May 30, 2011 at 8:03 amHave fun at the bakery! Maybe it’ll be a bit more relaxed 🙂 I’m at work but I’ll be celebrating when I get home!
Heather says
May 30, 2011 at 8:06 amHave a great day!
I started my day with a run and am hoping to do a Kath-style clean of my apartment – including getting rid of some clutter!
Evan says
May 30, 2011 at 8:06 amLove love love this long weekend; it’s the start of the summer!
Hopefully the bakery is chill today…at least you can get a workout in before working 🙂
Lisa Fine says
May 30, 2011 at 8:06 amStill counting down until it’s strawberry season here. We have a few more weeks to go!
At least you and Matt get one day off together each week. Can’t believe your opening is in just a few days. You must be getting super excited!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says

Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says

faith says
May 30, 2011 at 8:17 amHope you haven’t left yet-the gym’s closed!!!
KathEats says
May 30, 2011 at 8:44 amNo it’s not!! Just shortened hours
faith says
May 30, 2011 at 9:20 amOf course you would be on top of that kind of thing! One of our patients showed up there at 5:30 this morning for his workout :(. Have fun!
KathEats says
May 30, 2011 at 10:39 amAhhhh. body Pump was the most crowded ever!
Baking 'n' Books says
May 30, 2011 at 8:30 amAh – we had our Holiday last week in Canada. Looks like a bright start to your day!
Danielle @ weightsandmeasures says
May 30, 2011 at 8:43 amHave you thought about brewing the tea or coffee the night before and putting it in the fridge to chill? You SIAB looks wonderful too!
KathEats says
May 30, 2011 at 8:44 amThat’s too much nighttime work 🙂
Averie (LoveVeggiesandYoga) says
May 30, 2011 at 8:54 amLet’s face it, for me at least, iced coffee will always trump tea. Coffee, period, always trumps tea. Except when I was pregnant, then tea won. But I am a coffee girl at heart.
I posted about iced coffee the other day…I take anything I dont drink fresh, throw it in the fridge, and that’s my coffee that’s waiting for me the next day for iced coffee. (saw the person above me’s comment and your reply).
Or I take it and pour it over ice cube trays. Coffee ice cubes.
I waste nothing. Even old coffee. lol
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says

Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
May 30, 2011 at 9:34 amIt’s only 56 degrees outside- too cold for a morning smoothie 🙁 I’m hoping it will warm up so I can have one for lunch!
Katherine says
May 30, 2011 at 9:36 amYou must tell me how you rake such gorgeous photos! I mean, that looks GORGEOUS!
KathEats says
May 30, 2011 at 10:40 am🙂 Thanks!
Lisa @ Healthful Sense says

Karen says
May 30, 2011 at 9:47 amYou are killing me with that bounty of freshly picked strawberries…they are beauties!
Have a lovely Memorial Day, Kath!

lynn @ the actor's diet says
May 30, 2011 at 10:40 amsorry you have to work, but hopefully you’ll still feel the energy of the holiday!
kaila @ healthy helper! says
May 30, 2011 at 10:47 amSmoothies sound perfect for this hot and humid day!
Alexandra says
May 30, 2011 at 10:58 amSo I made my first smoothie using cottage cheese the other day. It was very good! I wasn’t sure about putting cottage cheese in at first, since it is a {little} salty but I was pleasantly surprised 🙂 Looks like a yummy breakfast. Good luck at the bakery today!
Molly says
May 30, 2011 at 11:21 amI love that table cloth! Where did you get it? It was hard to concentrate on the yummy eat because my eyes were constantly drawn towards the beautiful cloth!

Miranda @ Working Mom Works Out says
May 30, 2011 at 11:22 amEnjoy Body Pump! It’s easier to work on a holiday when you’re working for yourself.

May 30, 2011 at 11:32 amMmmm, your pictures are classics :)! I had Ashley’s carob-blueberry buckwheat bake- so yummy, but yours looks fresher 🙂
Have a great day!
Cait @ Beyond Bananas says
May 30, 2011 at 11:37 amSorry you won’t be able to take any time off today… but you must be getting REALLY excited about the opening of the bakery! I know all of us are super excited for you!
Jeri says
May 30, 2011 at 11:47 amI actually had nearly the same exact breakfast this morning! so incredibly yummy 🙂 but my question for you is, how do you make your nut butter drizzles look so pretty? when I do mine it always turns out a little bit unsightly
KathEats says
May 30, 2011 at 11:47 amThe only nut butter to drizzle like that is sunflower butter! It’s just SO drippy
Christine (The Raw Project) says
May 30, 2011 at 12:15 pmWhat a fabulous smoothie bowl!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
May 30, 2011 at 2:27 pmYes, being self-employed there’s no such thing as a holiday weekend, lol. For us anyway!
Abby says

Katherina @ Zephyr Runs says
May 30, 2011 at 3:53 pmMmm that TEA sounds delicious! and I really need to start doing smoothies in a bowl for a twist on my daily oatmeal… is looks easy enough!

Hannah says
May 30, 2011 at 6:49 pmI just found crunchy sunflower seed butter, and it’s so much more like crack than the smooth one! The same smooth drizzliness, but packed with merga-crispy roasted whole sunflwoer seeds. To die for!
KathEats says
May 30, 2011 at 6:54 pmoh man – what brand!?
Hannah says
May 30, 2011 at 7:00 pmIn Australia, it’s this: http://www.trialiafoods.com.au/acontent%20catalogue/c11038/263384.php
KathEats says
May 30, 2011 at 7:29 pmI think Sunbutter makes a crunchy – must find it!
