STILL haven’t had a good night’s sleep!! Huge thunderstorm came through at 3AM that had me wide away and scared (Matt was already gone!) And in the middle of trying to get back to sleep I remembered my Organic Valley Plain Yogurt Drink expired in June and needed to be opened for breakfast.
Well I was wrong – it was to be consumed in MAY! And it’s not May anymore! But yogurt use-by dates are pretty flexible, so I cracked it open and enjoyed…
The Mix
- 1 cup Organic Valley Plain Yogurt drink (Like plain yogurt whipped and frothed to a light thinness)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 cup Bob’s Red Mill Muesli
- Handfuls of blueberries and organic strawberries (<– for you Ashley!)
- Handful of Kashi Cinnamon
GreatHarvest biscuits - Drizzle maple syrup
Tea time. Hoping this caffeine is enough!
Don your umbrella – you don’t want to MELT out there!
[P.S. Obsessed –> Glee Poker Face]

Hate rain! Glad I’m not the only one who uses expiration dates as a “guideline” only 😛
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
I can’t believe it is June! That breakfast looks delicious. 🙂
holly says
also OBSESSED with that version of pokerface. i listened to it 42 times straight a couple days ago. and i am not exaggerating over that, haha!
Trish @IamSucceeding says
June already!! Where does the time go. I hare storms as well, we have them in the forecast today here…not looking forward to it!
Hope you have a great day and are able to stay awake.
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
Happy June! One month exactly until July 1!!! I see you’re finally getting the rain that’s been hitting us for the past week. Stay dry out there. 😛
Hannah says
I’m so miserable about not being in May. It’s now Winter in Australia, which means that in the past three years I’ve only had one proper summer because of traveling… Ah well, more excuses to make your chia hot oats! 😀
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
I always push the limits of my yogurt expiration dates 🙂
Have a wonderful day 🙂
Jess @ Jessica is Getting Fit says
I always wondered about yogurt expiration dates. I have a couple I need to use ASAP so I’ll be sure to just use it as a guideline!
I’m never sure if it’s a sell by or use by date!
The 50 Best Health Blogs says
Everybody’s different. Storms with lots of rain and thunder and lightning just act like white noise for me. I really sleep very soundly during storms.

I can’t believe it’s June, either! Time to open new contacts
Ann @ Appalachian Appetites says
Crazy start to your busy month! Hope the sun comes out soon!
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
Ah I always ignore use-by dates; half the time the food is fine anyway 😀
Lindsay @ Summit Sandwiches says
Gosh. May flew by! June is a big month for me too since I’ll be applying to medical schools and starting marathon training! WHOA. Scary. 🙂
perry says
… yogurt+muesli–looks delicious. I think your thunder is headed our way…
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
Oh man where did May go!?
Lauren @ eater not a runner says
I got woken up by crazy thunderstorms too…yuck!
af @ .the food. says
i think that bowl/spoon/placemat combination suited what seems to be quite a cloudy day!
that breakfast looks like i want it…now!
Brittany @ A Healthy Slice of Life says
I swear I heard someone talking about football season yesterday… now I LOVE me some college football, but it just got hot enough out to swim… must we wish summer away already??
Ashley says
Happy June! That breakfast looks so welcoming. Don’t let the crappy weather get you down :). Have a great day!
Heather says
I cannot believe it is June!
How does the plain yogurt drink compare to the vanilla – I tried the vanilla and loved it!
Thunderstorms in the middle of the night are the worse – hard to fall asleep again.
Kath says
It may have been the first time I’ve ever preferred vanilla to plain!?!
Veggielady4life says
Love that bowl of cereal! I’m always surprised when I see you use cold cereal, but even with that, you make it your own!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
We got really loud storms here too! They always wake me up. At least you had an awesome breakfast to wake up to! 🙂
Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies says
We had storms overnight, too – or so I’m told…slept right through them. That breakfast looks phenomenal!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I haven’t been able to sleep lately either. I don’t know if it is hormones, the moon, too much other stuff to think about. I hate it when that happens! I lay awake thinking about things like the expiration date on foods too. We are dropping our kids off with their grandparents today before we head to Charlotte for work later this week and I laid there thinking about what to pack in the car for lunch. Seriously…sometimes I think I am a little too OCD when it comes to planning things. Anyway, I hope you have a great day! Happy June 1!
Simply Life says
Hope you’re able to get some good rest tonight!
Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
Yay it’s June does that mean it’s summertime, I hope so. Great breakfast, I saw that yogurt drink at Whole Foods but it’s really expensive. I will have to wait for it to come on sale to try it.
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
Rainy days are so beautiful sometimes! As long as they don’t last rediculously long. 😉
Jenny says
Hard to believe it’s already June!
loveshealth says
Morning! That breakfast looks and sounds amazing! 🙂
I also wanted to say THANK YOU! You have inspired me to finally start my own blog and make a real initiative to get over my weight obsession and the athletic anorexia I used to suffer from. Have a great day and thanks again! 😀
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Yessssss….I have been obsessed with that song too!
Hope you don’t get rained on too hard. 🙁
Camille says
It’s already June! Eek!
Can’t wait for the new Glee tonight!
Danielle says
I’m totally obsessed with Glee’s Poker Face too!!
Kristin (Salty Tooth) says
Your breakfast looks great! We have had a lot of storm where I live lately and to this day, thunderstorms freak me out. I never sleep when when it’s storming.
Erin says
I can’t believe it’s June already. WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?!
J says
Though I ususally buy the conventional versions of all other berries, I ALWAYS buy organic strawberries. They are on the dirty dozen (on average 300 TONS of pesticides are applied to an acre of strawberries), plus I think they taste way better. I can actually taste the chemicals on conventional strawberries (apples and grapes too).
Alycia @ Fit n Fresh says
That breakfast looks yummy! I’ve never even heard of yogurt drinks? Who makes them? And I definitely heard that crazy storm last night! I love the sounds though (:
Annie @ stronghealthyfit says
Delicious looking breakfast. I LOVE muesli. There is some fabulous muesli here in Europe !
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
april showers bring may…wait a sec we’re in june! it’s not supposed to rain anymore!
robyn says
i really enjoy your website, your stories, your photos. I have an odd question though – I love your green spoon! Isn’t that silly? Where is it from? I want one to eat my VOO! All the best to you.

You just reminded me to say “rabbit, rabbit!”
Tracy says
You are not alone with the Glee Poker Face obsession…I bought it as they were singing it on the show for my iphone and have listened to it over and over. LOVE LOVE LOVE! They are so very talented! How I wish I could sing like that!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
Glee Poker Face has been in my head for the past week, and i’m in LOVE with it! if i had a voice like either one of those women i might die of happiness 🙂
Stacy says
Thunder storms are the worst in my house. My son and dog both get terrified!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
I loove sleeping in rain and thunderstorms!! As long as it’s not a crazy bad tornado-making (totally just made up my own word) storm, I’m good.
Tiffany says
I’m so glad that I’m not the only one. I love the song SO MUCH that I actually logged onto iTunes DURING the performance on the show and downloaded it. That, and Bad Romance, has been on CONSTANT ROTATION ever since. We’re talking about listening to it at work, at home, in the car, working out, etc. <3 Glee! Lea and Idina are two of my FAVORITE theater performers. and Santana KILLED it during Bad Romance.
I'm already obsessed with Glee and Lady GaGa each in their own right. Glee + GaGa = <3
Help Meghan Run says
Ohhh yeah, Glee Poker Face is amazing. I have a huge 40-song Glee playlist on Grooveshark that I just listen to on repeat. 😉
Melissa @ For the Love of Health says
That’s terrible you are having sleep issues!
Do you know what the cause is?
I have had sleep issues for the greater part of 10 years- sometimes better than other times but never, ever a solid sleep. I believe it’s because I just don’t know how to turn my mind off and it is just habit now because I do a lot of other things right: exercise daily, no late night eating, no late night caffeine, bedroom only for sleep and so on and so forth…
I hope your sleeping gets better!
Kath says
The cause is just too much going on. It will all be over in 4 weeks when I have 40 hours a week of my life back.
Lisa (Lisa at Home) says
I forgot my umbrella!
And everyone goes through sleeping issues when they’re faced with a lot of stress.. even if it’s good stuff!
You’ll get back to normal soon enough!
Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday says
I keep singing the Glee version of Poker Face that I almost forget the original!
Ashley says
Awww, hehe 🙂 That made my morning! Love the first photo..yummmo! You’re making me crave a big bowl of cereal..maybe tomorrow. I also slept terribly last night. Gr.
Emily says
LOVE GLEE POKER FACE!!!!!!!!! I literally watched that clip 6 times. Can’t get enough. My favorite part is the oh, oh, oh , oh ,oh part. 🙂
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I love thunderstorms but not when they wake me up. Although it is fun to snuggle with the pups because they don’t like them and burrow under the covers.
Dr. Nicole says
Kath, I don’t watch Glee…I wish I got into it in the beginning but I always forgot to watch. But I DO love that link you posted! Listening right now. 🙂
Marissa says
Oh, the weather has just been awful for the past few days! I hope it clears up and gets nice and sunny soon for both of us!
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] says
Fun placemat! Haven’t seen that one before : )
Megan says
Have you tried some melatonin? I have a friend that works nights and she uses it when she can’t sleep during the day. You can pick some up at the drug store in a specialty food store usually.
