Where do the mornings go!?
I swear I have my act somewhat together, but by the time I prepare breakfast, take pictures, edit the pictures, do the dishes, put the dry dishes away and finally sit down to blog, it’s nearly 10!
Gone are the days where I was able to get up, workout, shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, blog and get to work by 8:30 in the morning!
Anyway, despite that, my breakfast was pretty dang good.
Thanks in large part to these guys:
LoveGrown Simply Oats Granola!
Your nose is just assaulted with cinnamon flavor the moment you open the bag. It’s SO good.
Put on top of any breakfast and you immediately feel like you’re eating some decadent cobbler. Definitely one of my favorite LoveGrown flavors so far.
Into the bowl went:
- 1/3 cup Trader Joe’s Rolled Oats
- 1 cup of water
- 1 tbsp. chia seeds
- 1 diced peach
Stirred up, cooked and then topped with a heaping spoonful of Trader Joe’s Sunflower Seed Butter and LoveGrown Simply Oats.
It’s hard to beat perfectly melted nut butter.
And heaping spoonfuls of chia-seed thick oatmeal with fresh fruit and granola.
Coffee on the side:
Off to officially start this Thursday!
Love Grown never gets old! I’m partially to Sweet Cranberry Pecan, though! 🙂
Agreed – it definitely doesn’t. And that’s one of my other favorites!
Oh my gosh!! I am about to make breakfast and I just wish I had all these ingredients on hand. 🙂
Gah! I wish you did too because it was so good!
Peach chia pudding is my all-time favorite! Yours looks amazing. have you ever tried it with ginger and cinnamon? It will rock your world. 🙂
I haven’t but I don’t know why! I’m definitely adding that in next time 🙂
I had peachy oats yesterday morning. It really is such a great way to celebrate peach season! YUM! Have a great day Cait!
Aaaagreeed! And thanks Sarena, you too! 🙂
I’ve never thought to top my overnight oats with granola just because there are oats in the bowl already. I think I have to try this! Extra flavor and crunch!
Yup – exactly!! I can’t eat oats without granola and/or nuts, I need that little bit of crunch 🙂 Let me know how you like it if you try it!
I’ve had mornings like that, too, where things just drag. At least your breakfast was tasty!
Exactly – when in doubt, there’s always a delicious breakfast to fall back on 🙂
Great way to start Thursday. SO happy it’s Thursday. I works halfsies on Thursdays & Fridays.. so every weekend is sort of an extended weekend. Love it!
Oooh I’m jealous!! That’s not a bad way to kick off a weekend at all! 🙂
I love your breakfast posts 🙂 they always look so delicious! And the portions seem big all the time too o_o maybe thats just the way it was photographed? Do you ever eat oatmeal without toppings?
Thanks! 🙂 They definitely are delicious. I’m not sure if they look big just because of the way they’re photographed or not, but I usually list out the general measurements in the post so that might help 🙂 As for oatmeal, I don’t usually eat it without toppings unless in a pinch!
