It may only be 28* outside, but something in my brain thinks it’s spring. Therefore, I’m already craving yogurt, cereal and smoothies!
Today’s breakfast was a yogurt bowl with cereal. Have I mentioned how much I love the taste and texture of Whole Foods’ Organic Low-Fat Plain yogurt!?
I promise it’s under all that cereal!
The Mix
- 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- ~1/2 cup Nature’s Path Heritage flakes
- ~1/3 cup Peanut Butter Pandas (which I bought for Matt but stole!)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 sliced banana
- 1 tbsp jam
- A sprinkle of salted peanuts
Today’s agenda includes GH website work (I have more things to change per the suggestion of GH Breadquarters), a visit to my new OBGYN for my annual (joy!) and the First Friday Gallery Crawl!
Sarah (Running To Slow Things Down) says
I love cool yogurt breakfasts. It was 0 degrees this morning but I still felt myself craving it. 😀
Love your breakfast bowl! 😀
megan @ blackberries for jam says
Sadly, 28 degrees feels spring-y to me! That’s how warped my mind is after a cold Vermont winter. Give me ten more degrees and I’ll be craving cereal too!
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
I am the same way! It’s so cold here in DC but I keep thinking its spring and don’t bring a heavy enough jacket. Sad story!
cathyb@brightbakes says
Must be some sort of internal seasonsal clock! I’ve been dealing with the same thing…suddenly wanting to crunch on cereal, fruit, and yogurt…..and sadly it’s still only about 10 degrees up here in the North 🙁

Lauren at Keep It Sweet says
I am dying for spring to really come. We had some really cold days this week and I am ready to be outside without my scarf, hat and gloves!
Camille says
For a second I thought those were garbanzo beans in your breakfast!
Hope you have a great morning!
Amanda (Eating Up) says
I may need to check out that yogurt for an inexpensive alternative to Greek!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Great idea – its like a crunchy PBJ bowl! I wish I wasn’t going to rain… I’m getting that spring itch, too. 🙂
Hope says
It’s really cold outside today here too! I can’t wait for spring! That cereal bowl looks delicious!
Joanne says
I didn’t realize you construct your own Great Harvest site? That’s so exciting and such a great way to personalize. It makes sense since you guys know the area and what would be the draw as well as keeping it up to date with current events. HAve fun with that. Your so creative.
I haven’t had the PB Pandas is YEARS!
Lesley says
Have a great weekend! I’m ready for First Friday here in Kansas City :]
Jackie @ Baking Charms says
I’m sad the cold weather has returned 🙁 Let’s hope it doesn’t stay for long!!
Krissy @ Make It Naked says
I got some PB puffins for my husband and I’m not sure he ever got the chance to have any. Ooops. Happy weekend!
Ash @ Good Taste Healthy Me says
Ugh I so wish it was Spring! We still have 3.5 feet of snow on our lawn….so it’s hard to think Spring haha. BUT it will be close to 50 this weekend! Squeeee!
emily says
Is the legit name Breadquarters, or was that your clever turn of phrase? It definitely made me chuckle!
KathEats says
Something I heard over the weekend 🙂
Sisters Running the Kitchen says
i have been eating “spring-like foods” too! brought out the overnight oats this week and i think this afternoon i may even make a smoothie!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
28 degrees is warm here for now. 🙂
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
I love Nature’s Path Heritage Flakes! I also love their Heritage O’s and whenever my mum comes over, she can never understand why I’d want to eat something so plain. But they’re delicious… just means there’s more for me! 🙂
Megan says
Your cereal bowl looks delish! I love having a mix of cereals to eat 🙂
You’ve got a busy day today…it would be perfect for a made in stages meal, which I just posted about today!

Happy Friday!
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
I love a cold breakfast! I praying it warms up soon!
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
Spring is almost here! 😀
dee says
oh wow! never thought to put salted peanuts on top of cereal! i might have to try that. 🙂
rebecca lustig says
I think because it’s lighter earlier in the morning I am getting more into spring mode! Meal alterations definitely plays into the spring mood as well!
Brittany says
yay to spring!! I had yogurt yesterday… it just reminds me of spring and summer so much!
Ashley (The Vegetable Life) says
Haha I love how its called Breadquarters!!! …. I wish it were spring here but Im still eating my oats seeing as it is 7* in Mass today!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Oh, fun day! Except for the GYN, but that will be done fast enough! I bought cereal for the boys yesterday and I totally dove in to it last night. I loved the crunch!
Ashley says
OMG…I thought those were CHICKPEAS in the bowl. LOL
Mary says
umm I’ve never had peanut butter pandas, but they look just like Kix! I might have to buy them just for that reason.
Maryea @ Happy Healthy Mama says
I’m in full spring mode too. Happy Friday!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
Woohoo gotta love those gyno appointments! 🙂
Burke Women says
SPRING cannot come soon enough!! haha Oh my goodness am I excited to feel warmth again 🙂 As for your “annual”, yuck – I am procrastinating with scheduling mine! boo
Valerie @ City|Life|Eats says
I am totally all about Think Spring now, even though I am bundled in two sweaters and it’s 30 degrees outside!
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
I am thinking spring too! Even though there’s still snow on the ground, just knowing that it’s March makes me feel like it’s spring already!
Krissy - Shiawase Life says
Mmm! I definitely mixed up cereals this morning, too =D so yummy, and the variety of textures really makes breakfast fun 🙂
Also, I am looking for an OBGYN in town; could you email me when you can about the dr you found?
Maryann (The Balanced Bean) says
Peanut butter pandas are addicting!
Johanna B says
My favorite morning, or evening for that matter, cereal is Udi’s Natural granola with vanilla yogurt (homemade) and blueberries. Yum.
Jess (Sweet Potato) says
WH lowfat plain yogurt is my favorite too. Unfortunately I no longer live near a WH so I haven’t had it in a long time 🙁
Heather (heathers dish) says
It’s totally supposed to snow but it smells like spring! Praying that snow doesn’t actually happen…
Jenn @ Frost BItes says
Your mug makes me want SPRING to come right now….sick of the snow. Ugh!
Carla @ Will Run for Health says
Good luck at your annual…uhhh. Being a girl stinks sometimes 🙁
Johanna B says
The guys get paid back at prostate exam time.
Melomeals: Vegan for $3.33 a Day says
I feel like it’s never going to be Spring!
Christie {Nourishing Eats} says
I’m wanting spring to just hurry on up and get here! I have been making my own yogurt and am craving smoothies with it.
Sara says
Your breakfasts always look so good! =D Cereal never seems to really fill me up though… Nothing does but oatmeal, really! Which is kinda frustrating, because I like to switch it up in the AM! Preferably without getting ravenous again at 10:30 =p
Katie @ cooklaughmove says
Have fun with your annual…hahah! Mine was yesterday, so I feel for ya!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
have fun at your gyno. or try to?!?
Alaina says
Ok, so first Friday of every month is the best time to visit Charlottesville. 😉
Stacey (The Home-Cooked Vegan) says
Cute mug! Have a great Friday 🙂
kate@ahealthypassion says
I feel the same way, the slightest bit of warmth and im out in my flip flops, I feel like this winter has been wayyy to long!
Natalia - a side of simple says
I’ve been on such a yogurt-bowl-mess kick lately. They’re the only thing that satisfies me in the morning right now!
I always enjoy your gallery crawl recaps. Have a great time tonight!
Rofomom @REAL life in Rofo says
Would you believe that cereal is one of those “trouble foods” for me? I love it (just about any kind) and I know it’s good for me – in moderation – but sometimes I can’t stop eating it!!! I always want more and more and more! – Your bowl looked good though!
Rachel @ Grateful Girl Goes Gluten Free says
Its colder there than in Wisconsin! Oh the joys of the OBGYN. good luck!
Jillian @ Reshape Your Life says
That breakfast looks good, sometimes nothing beats a cold breakfast. Have fun at the doctors, I know that’s my favorite appointment of the year (not!) Good luck!
Christin@purplebirdblog says
Those Peanut Butter Pandas are so good!!!
Michelle (The Runner's Plate) says
Sounds like a fun and productive day–those are the best in my opinion!
rho says
Recycled glass countertops? AMAZING that you were able to save for those while in grad school. You are an inspiration!
Baking 'n' Books says
Do you ground the seeds or just eat them as seeds? I thought it was like flaxseeds that need to be ground for the nutrition…? But then does that provide bulk to if stirred into oatmeal and stuff??
Thanks!
KathEats says
I never grind chia!
Jennie @ Designed to be Fit says
Spring has definitely sprung in Central Florida! It’s almost 80 degrees today!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
I still love oatmeal–hot or cold even when it is Spring…I hope I am not too weird?! 😉
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
I love peanut butter pandas!
Hannah says
We don’t have a single peanut butter cereal in Australia! I miss peanut butter puffins, although they were a little bit like eating air 😛
Emma says
oooh I’d try that yoghurt if there was whole foods in New Zealand!
Amber K says
Already craving? I’ve been having them all winter. Gotta have my smoothies especially 🙂
Meghan @ StruggleMuffins says
Heritage flakes and PB Pandas are two of my favey cereals! I love eating them with yogurt too, otherwise the cereal just has no staying power. So good with a lil unsweetened cocoa powder too, to achieve that unbeatable chocolate and peanut butter combination 🙂
