Good morning! It’s another blue sky day here in Chicago, and temperatures are expected to be in the 70s! Spring may be my favorite season, but I have to admit there’s something to be said about old man winter – he makes me appreciate the change of seasons even more 🙂
I woke up early this morning for an invigorating workout at the gym – 30 minutes Stairmaster, 10 minutes stationary bike and my leg workout. I snacked on – you guessed it – 1/2 of a Clif Chocolate Brownie ZBar pre-workout.
Same oats + less liquid = less volume
For breakfast this morning, I attempted to mimic the Walker Bros. oatmeal by adding less liquid to my normal oatmeal concoction. I didn’t quite get the same effect, but it was definitely more of a solid.
It’s kind of hard to tell from the picture. I added whipped banana, flax, wheat germ, maple syrup and Bear Naked High Sierra trail mix. It was lovely as per usual, but (obviously) by adding less liquid, I found there to be a lot less volume. I think maybe I need less liquid + more oats to get the same amount of fullness and achieve the true Walker Bros. effect. I guess this probably seems like common sense 😉
After breakfast, I enjoyed my usual cup of Coffee Cocoa.
I love this mug – it was a gift from my mom. Here is the other side of it:
Do you think she’s trying to tell me something? 😉
I’m off to class – see you for lunch! 🙂
Your oatmeal looks incredible – yum! Yeah, definitely try adding more oats/less water.
Cute mug!! Haha, perhaps your mom IS trying to tell you something ;0)
Have fun at class; and enjoy Earth Day! :0)
Aww your mom is such a sweetheart, that mug is adorable!
Haha! Cute mug! 🙂
Haha, I want that mug too!
My oatmeal was all dry and small today too, boo.
[…] bowls were too “wet” – Tuesday’s was too “dry” – but this bowl? This bowl was just […]
