Good afternoon?! Almost!
I feel like Kath in Wonderland today.
The alarm went off at 6AM and I was in such a fog and dreaming wild dreams of rabbits and caterpillars that Matt and I both went back to sleep. It was still dark out and I’ve been spoiled getting to sleep through sunrise this summer!
Matt got up to leave at 6:45 I didn’t wake up until…..8AM! Hence the reason my whole day is running late 🙂
My body still wanted to run despite the change of plans, but I was getting hungry.
DRINK ME Bottle #1: Eat, run later
DRINK ME Bottle #2: Run, eat later
I decided to compromise with a snack, a run, and then breakfast.
Banana + PB
I went out running in the fog, hoping it wouldn’t rain and send me to Tweetle Dee + Dum’s . I ran 5.3 miles in 48:30 minutes. It was a great run that left me with flushed cheeks. It was nice to have the sun hidden, but it was still pretty humid out there!
When I got home I was craving yoga. My body really needs it right now. But I also am running so behind that I promised myself I would do some tonight. HOLD ME TO IT!
Smoothie-in-a-bowl was calling my name!
I blended together:
- 2/3 cup vanilla soy milk
- Handful ice
- 1/3 cup raw oatmeal (which lends a wonderfully doughy taste)
- 1/2 banana
- Handful blueberries
- Tbsp flax
- Toppings: Mix My Granola and VeggieGirl’s Hazelnut butter, which I am becoming more obsessed with by the day
This actually wasn’t that filling, but considering some of you are probably having lunch already, I’m not worried about how long it tides me over 🙂

LOVE Alice and Wonderland and they are making a new movie with Johnny Depp!
Smoothie in a bowl looks deliciously creamy! 😉
Have a good afternoon!
megan says
Your smoothie looks awesome. i love to have smoothies for breakfast (or lunch, or dinner!), but for some reason they just doing keep me full. maybe if i add oatmeal?
Whitney says
I love that bowl and the alice references! 😀
Becci says
I love running when it is hazy/foggy/drizzly outside! I think it is easy to get lost in my thoughts when I’m not worried about the sweltering sun!
Have a good (if not busy!) afternoon!
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) says
Yay for running in the morning! Despite feeling rushed, exercising first thing always puts me in a good state of mind. Your smoothie bowl looks like the perfect way to refuel 🙂
Cait (Cait's Plate) says
Are smoothie-in-a-bowl going to become the new oats?! Maybe just for summer 🙂
That looks seriously delicious though – I gotta try it soon.
Mandy A says
I love the Alice in Wonderland references…. too cute!! especially after my hubby and i were talking about disney this morning 🙂
Smoothie bowl!! That’s awesome! 🙂
Eve says
Good for you for sleeping in! Sometimes you just have to listen to your body, and take advantage when you CAN! Enjoy your day.
tina says
I miss running! Wah!
Kristen says
It has been raining non-stop here…I’m jealous of your run!
Beautiful breakfast bowl!
Christie @ Quit Your Diet says
What a pretty flower!
I’m glad you had a good run! Enjoy the rest of your day!
VeggieGirl says
Well you DO look a little like Alice, so you could rock the Wonderland look 😀
Heather says
That smoothie in a bowl looks amazing. I love the flower too!
Erica says
I love how the colors of the smoothie-in-a-bowl match the Cheshire Cat. 🙂
We’re all mad here.~
Susan says
Love the Alice in Wonderland reference, the Chesire Cat is my favourite! I eat the exact same snack before my morning runs. I’m ravenous in the a.m, if I don’t eat my tummy will start growling during my warm-up 😛
I’m coming back later to make sure that yoga got done missy!! 😉
Kristin @ Iowa Girl Eats says
Ooo great run! Hazlenut butter sounds divine too 🙂 Have a great afternoon!
Sandhiya says
talking of nut butter, i tried the organic walnut bueeter from Whole foods. @ this point i still like almond butter on smoothies or oatmeal..but this one tastes really good on a toast.
Deva says
Great compromise on the run – love the flower.
Jessica says
like always, love the blue meal! 🙂
and is that a little crab icon i see? so cute!

Emily (A Nutritionist Eats) says
Smoothie in a bowl looks great!
Katharina says
That smoothie in a bowl makes for a killer model 😉 Looking good from all angles! Enjoy your day, girl!
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
LOVING this smoothie mixture! I have to say, oats and flax taste SO good in smoothies… however, I found that no matter how long I blend them in, they seems to scratch and irritate my throat on the way down. I’ll end up having a soar throat all day long! I sure miss them though. Sounds delicious! 🙂
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
I need to try this smoothie in a bowl concoction! It’s good to know it’s not super filling, but I think it would be perfect for the weekend when it’s okay that I have a later breakfast/earlier lunch. 😀
Runeatrepeat says
I was going to comment that this is one of my favorite bowls, but it looks like so many already have!
Hallie (Healthy Twists) says
Congrats on the run! I love smoothies after a great workout 🙂
Jenn Eats Nutritiously Now says
I love that first picture. Such a pretty flower.
Sometimes it just feels nice to sleep in!
K says
Have you seen the trailer for the new Alice in Wonderland movie? It’s a Tim Burton film with Johnny Depp – it looks awesome!
Anyway, I love the color of your smoothie in a bowl 🙂
Cynthia (It all changes) says
I love that you still got in a run. Some days you just have to do it. I’ll hold you to that yoga tonight but I’m sure your body will as well.
No go catch that white rabbit 🙂
Denise says

the weather where you live looks SO pretty .. i am stuck in triple digits! i am in dire need of some refreshing weather. i would welcome a run in the rain today!
Aaron@CrossBorderCravings says
I am so intrigued by the smoothie-in-a-bowl you keep making lately! I think I will have to try this soon.
Andee (Runtolive) says
Love the smoothie in a bowl idea-do you use regular oats or instant oats? Do you think they would lend to a different texture if you used one or the other?
Katey says
That smoothie in a bowl is an awesome Idea! I think I may try it one of these days! 🙂
Jenn (www. j3nn.net ) says
I love that bowl.

Kath says
Bowl is from CB2!
Yes, I’ve seen the Alice in 2010 previews and CAN’T WAIT!!
