I am not a breakfast eater.
Just because I am awake does not mean my stomach is awake.
Unfortunately (& as our mothers have relentlessly explained to us):
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
B-b-b-but…
Nope, sorry. Even though I don’t want to, even though my stomach argues, I need to eat breakfast. If I don’t, I turn into a morning grouch.
With the demise of my blender, I’ve had no ‘easy escape’ smoothies to drink mindlessly.
So I made a move. I bought some new ingredients for a breakfast recipe I had been ogling for a while. Overnight oats has shifted me. I make it the night before. I sling whatever I crave on it. Pictured above is overnight oats layered with banana “soft serve”, cacao nibs, & warm apples with cinnamon + nutmeg. Yum yum.
& for the first time in a LONG time (perhaps forever) I go to sleep looking forward to eating breakfast!
That’s crazy talk.
THIS LOOKS AMAZING
I’ll make some for you sometime!
I’m always so grateful for a reminder to check out your site again – the design is absolutely beautiful, and this post is no exception! Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you, Gwen!
Hey!
My stomach needs at least an hour to wake up after I am.
But strangely, some foods, such as a fruit smoothie that is mostly berries, poses no problem, no matter the time!
and haf an hour later, i can eat whatever. Magic smoothies!
Get a new blender asap, and we can share recipes!
I look forward to getting a new blender! I just have to decide what sort…
when you do something, you go BIG! From smoothies to THIS? admirable….
Go big or go home!
Okay okay, it’s not in a fancy goblet every day – just on Sundays when I have time to do it up right (& the sun is up when I’m eating breakfast).
OOoh, overnight oats. I have never been able to get it together enough to consistently make these for myself…
Oh, you totally should! I’m addicted. I like how I can add different things depending on my mood.
Another person who makes banana soft serve! One of my students introduced me and I cannot get enough. ‘Cept that my blender is so loud I have to stretch the chord into the back yard and wrap the whole thing in a towel. Seriously.
HOLY MOLY! I think I just drooled a bit…alright alright, a lot.
