Time is flying by – it’s Thursday! I wrote this to-do list last night and it has doubled in size since with an additional call and 2 other to-dos.
And we have this awesome new reclaimed wood chalkboard in our kitchen! A friend of a friend wanted to hire me to help her get started on a blog. I felt awkward taking money, so instead she gave me one of the chalkboards! They will be available soon at our local online gift shop, Red Bud Gifts! [Now available here!]
In the spirit of overnight oats, I made this strawberry banana dough boy smoothie last night! With the addition of a half cup of greek yogurt for + protein.
For a dough boy, put ingredients in your blender, stir, and put your blender in the fridge. In the morning, blend!
The texture is super thick – almost like a yogurt – and the flavor is doughy from the raw oats!
And Cville Cluster is absolutely amazing!
Served with tea!
Today it’s supposed to rain but be warm. So far I just see rain – no warmth present!
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh says
Love the chalkboard! That was a nice trade off. Can’t wait to check it out.
Enjoy the morning! It’s almost Friiiiiiday!
Joanne says
That chalk board will come in handy. I like the reclaimed wood idea.
As for the smoothie – another mouth watering, easy recipe. Good way to start the day.
Hope the rain holds off for you.
And… happy birthday to the birthday girl(s) 🙂
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
Cute chalkboard! Enjoy the day!!
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
cute chalkboard!! i still need to try your dough boy smoothie. i’ve seen you make it in the past and have always wanted to try it, but then i forget about it!
Melissa @ HerGreenLife says
A good barter can be much more satisfying than cash payments. We’ve worked out a system with our downstairs neighbors: an evening of babysitting in exchange for some high quality garden goods — super convenient for us with them so close and yummy food for them!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
What a neat chalkboard! I love the rustic wood frame.
Those oats sound fabulous. I bet that would be awesome with peanut flour too. Breakfast tomorrow! 🙂
Khushboo says
Love the chalkboard! It has its own charm compared to regular pen & paper!
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance says
I’ve never tried a dough boy – it’s on my list for breakfasts to try this week!
Stephanie @ Legally Blinde says
Oh cool, I like the dough boy smoothie idea! I absolutely love having breakfast prepared when I wake up in the morning, so I’ll have to give this a shot!
mary @ minutespermile says
It’s a glum day in DC, too! Also have a smoothie in hand. Except mine is green 🙂
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
I love the chalkboard. It’s so cute! 🙂 Now that I have a blender I need to try this smoothie!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
The chalkboard is super cute. I’m trying to get better with writing lists and checking things off…trying.
Have a great day and happy birthday to the birthday girls!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
Super cute chalkboard! And we’re supposed to have the rain stop by mid-morning and then the sun come out. I’ll believe it when I see it! 😉
Lisa says
What a lovely chalkboard!
That almost looks like a caviar spoon in your photo. I love how you coordinate your dining accessories. Being a girl is so fun!
Katie @wishandwhimsy says
Oh. My. Word. That smoothie sounds TOO good to be true. I’m definitely trying this as soon as I can get to the store for some strawberries. Wow. Thanks for sharing!
Amelia says
Mmm! I’ve been making dough boy smoothies as afternoon snacks recently. My favorite combo so far is carrot cake: dough boy base/bananas/few baby carrots/ cinnamon/ vanilla.
Side note: I love seeing the ‘RD ME’ pic when I scroll down the page. All the links down the side are just little snap shots into your life. 🙂

I’ve got oats soaking on the counter right now! I’m actually trying to grow some good bacteria in it and turn it into an “oat yogurt.” I tried it with oat bran but the texture was too chewy so I’m hoping the soaked oats make it more creamy like you described. Can’t wait!
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
Gorgeous spoon – and very yogurt-y. Looks refreshing! 🙂
Angel7 says
It is raining today and very dreary!
When I woke up early this morning to make a sandwich for my husband to take to work, I was shivering so bad that I made it really quick, and jumped back in bed to get warm and go back to sleep. Ever since I became pregnant, I get cold so easily, and sometimes shiver uncontrollably.

Sana says
I feel bad taking money from people for things that I can easily do as well!
Katie says
Kath! It’s your birthday?!?
KathEats says
29.5!
Katie says
Happy half birthday then! (: (: (:

Is it your birthday too?
KathEats says
Half birthday!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
I make a “must do” and a “to do” list every morning!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
I totally forgot about the dough boy smoothies! Must bring them back this summer!
Janice says
That looks goood! Im going to try that one day. Hmm, your clusters look yummy too! Do you guys send orders out of state?
KathEats says
Not at the moment, but we’ve done several OpenSky sales
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
That reclaimed wood chalkboard is awesome. Can’t wait to see them for sale online…what a great find that would be!
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
love that chalkboard! as someone who lives for lists and crossing off completed tasks, i would love to have something like this is my kitchen!
Catalina @ Cake with Love says
This is a great recipe to add to my smoothie collection!!!
Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says
I made a dough boy ONE time last fall, and was all excited about it, but it wasn’t too great. BUT, that was before I had my Vitamix. Maybe if I try it out again in there, it will be better. The old Cuisinart blender I had just wasn’t cutting it.
Lauren says
Half birthday — My five year old thinks that’s hilarious!!! 🙂
Cait's Plate says
Dough boy smoothies is the ONE thing (okay…one of many) of yours I’ve been dying to make and keep forgetting to do! This is officially on my list 🙂
Becca says
I am going to have to try this breakfast, I am always looking for new ideas 🙂 Love the chalkboard, such a neat idea. Happy half birthday to you!!
Chelsea @ Designs on Dinner says
I love the idea of the ‘Dough Boy’ smoothie–thanks for the inspiration! I’m going to try it tomorrow.
Jasper {crunchylittlebites} says
Never, have I, had a “dough boy” but I did try Dough Boy Bakery’s (Boone, NC) white wedding cake and it was lovely.
Your cloth remind me of Africa…homesick 🙁
Andrea @ The Skinny Chronicles says
Is it your birthday? If so, happy birthday! Enjoy your day!
KathEats says
Half 🙂
Kerry @ Totes My Oats says
I haven’t made a dough boy smoothie in a long time! Maybe tomorrow morning 🙂
Alyssa (factsandflax) says
I’m studying to become a registered dietitian, and you are very inspirational!
KathEats says
Thank you!
Tamicka says
Happy birthday caitlin and happy half birthday kath
[email protected] for the Soul says
ughhhh I loooooooooove chalkboard type stuff!!! I was so in love with it for my wedding ideas that I made some DIY chalkboards–of course, it wasn’t as smooth as the real stuff–but it makes such a cute deco! 🙂 And I wanna try all your granolas!
Annette @FitnessPerks says
Cute chalkboard!!
DLAOKC says
I brought an overnight doughboy smoothie for my lunch today! Cottage cheese, frozen mango chunks, oatmeal, a little flax oil, and a touch of sweetener. YUM and filling!
Katharina says
Happy half birthday, Kath! Thanks for reminding us (I would have forgotten!). Hope you get to do something special today to celebrate your last half birthday of your 20’s!

breakfast soup
Kavi @ Lab to Fab! says
Cute chalkboard! Worth the trade 🙂
Sharon says
I’ve never met an adult who celebrates their half-birthday. I think it’s so cute. Go you!
KathEats says
By celebrate I usually just think happy thoughts about the number 26, but a cupcake would be nice… 🙂
Anna says
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATH!
KathEats says
Half birthday, but thanks!!
Tiffany says
I really need to make a dough boy smoothie soon!! Looks delicious.
Will you be selling Cville Cluster granola on open sky soon? I really need to try some!
KathEats says
Probably not soon, but we will be selling it online again
Fran@ Broken Cookies Don't Count says
The dough boy sounds tasty. Never thought of that!
