The Classic
Hey bloggies hey 
How are ya? Hope you’ve had a great day so far!
So glad you liked the b-fast rellenos recipe! Please let me know if any of you try it <3
I’ve ninja-kicked the to-do list today:
-Workout
-Work
-Post office
-Made baby shower invitations for a friend
Ka pow!
Some recent eats:
A bowl of coffee protein oats
-1/3 C GF steel cut oats
-almond milk
-organic berries (I add the frozen ones to the cooked oats and they defrost quickly)
-cinnamon, Stevia and a pinch of sea salt
-1 pack of Via
I can 100% say that the caffeine addiction is back, but not nearly as bad as it used to be (2 cups per day instead of 16 is a good thing). Coffee is amazing.
Salad beast:
with Garlic Gold and balsamic
and a Tucson thing that I can have ANYTIME I want now
Eegee’s!
I’ve written about Eegee’s a couple of times before. Basically, they’re like a slushie with real fruit, but the ice is super super fine. There’s nothing like it.
I rolled with the Flavor of the Month: Holly Berry, which tasted like fruit punch.
Redonk.
I’m off to pick up the shower invitations and start addressing them, then meeting a friend for dinner.
Hope you have a lovely night!
xoxo

I have to confess that I’m still trying to muster up the courage to dump a Via in my oats! 🙂
don’t be afraid! maybe try half?
Hehehe half sounds like a good start. I drank my last Via the other day but I will get some more this weekend and then see about giving it a go! 🙂
Coffee in oats sounds amazing! I think I’ll try it tomorrow morning. I’m right there with ya on the coffee addiction–there’s nothing like a nice caffeine kick! 🙂
and I just passed up the via packages at the supermarket tonight! oh noes! thanks for the treadmill workout, i’ll be using it tomorrow in addition to an awesome new class at the gym – it is a kickboxing/strength fusion class, a real butt-kicker.
i love adding a little spoonful of coffee grinds to my vanilla sun warrior/spinach shake. sounds weird, but gives the perfect coffee flavor and slight buzz, yumm. never had via before!
I’m following you!
Um I want that slushie drink!
That slushie looks so good!
Thanks for the speedy walk/run workout. I am going to program my Gymboss for those intervals and try it in the morning. I can’t wait.
Why have I never thought to do coffee flavor somehow in my oats? Two of my loves meshed together sounds about perfect.
aw the puppers! i love seeing their bright faces
that eegee’s look so tasty, yuuuumm
Really wishing I had some via right now for my chocolate banana oats I have planned for tomorrow…maybe some other time… dangit!
That slushie looks and sounds absolutely incredible. Yum!
Holly Berry, which tasted like fruit punch = oh that looks sooo good! I am not sick, but if i was, i would want THAT for a sore throat!
2 cups vs. 16? Oh yes, that’s a tiny bit of an improvement 🙂 16? I thought my hayday of maybe 1/2 pot of coffee was tons. But you had me beat. But hey, coffee has health benefits, right!
Anyway those chickpeas look perfect! love the colors in that pic!
Oh, I LOVE Eegee’s!! I live in Phx, and make my friend bring down a “Fun Pak” when she comes to visit (I think it serves 20+ people)! Now I want one! 🙂
Definitely trying this workout tomorrow! And that Eegee’s looks LEGIT.
I am a fellow coffee/caffeine lover! And that Eegee’s stuff looks so yum!
Your eats are SO dang similar to mind…us bloggers, always thinkin’ alike 🙂
Do you cook your steel cut oats before adding the sun warrior and almond milk, or do you eat um raw?
Coffee is so going in my oats in the morning that sounds ooooohhhh so good! I am a coffee addict as well. I try to limit myself to two cups per day, but in the winter I crave the warth of coffee, so I try and keep decaf on hand for post 5pm splurges!
Mmm, coffee oats! Today I ate some coffee dark chocolate covered macadamia nuts! Soooo good 😉
I have tried coffee in my protein shakes but never in my oats. Hm, this may have to happen!
ah…your posts about Tucson seriously brings a smile to my face. i miss home! Eegee’s are the best! Pina Colada = delicious!!
Coffee oats, mmmm. The little green bowl is too cute!

Gena that breakfast looks scrumptious! I’m trying to incorporate more oats into my breakfast rotation, could you give me a simple explanation of what the difference is between all the sosts of oats- regular, quick, steel cut, rolled, old-fashioned, groats, etc? I thought I knew by now but I am not a 100% sure (here in Holland we don’t eat that many oats and when we do, it’s usually just one type). Thanks so much!
Oops Gena never mind, I found a link that explains pretty darn well: http://www.eatmoreoats.com/aboutoats.html. Hope to try out your coffee oats soon- with mocca coffee <3!
wow eegee looks and sounds amazing!!
for your oats do you add one cup of coffee to the mix?
I can’t wait to try the oats with coffee!!! I’ve eaten so terribly over the holidays. Must…get….back….to…healthy…eating. Your blog will surely help. 🙂 Btw…..I’ve had had an overwhelming desire to come to Arizona for a couple of years now. I have no idea why, but hearing you talk about it like that makes it worse. lol I”ll have to hop on a plane at some point and check it out.
Awesome job on the to-do’s!! I’m hoping to be just as productive today as I have tons of errands to do. Have a good one! 🙂
Hope I can be a productive as you seem to be. We’re heading out on a major roadtrip tomorrow and there are just some things that have to get done. i.e. laundry and some dog washing!
Eegees are made with real fruit?! I had no idea, I assumed it was some kind of concentrate full of sugar. I may need to give them a whirl again next time I’m here.
oh they’re full of sugar, but there’s real fruit too. haha
Thanks for the treadmill workout!
I used to drink a ridiculous amount of coffee too and I have no idea how I managed to sleep at night! I think your 2 cups a day is a pretty safe amount though. 😉
Eeeeegeeees…YUM
Eeegee’s are one of the best things about living in T-town (aka Tucson..lol). My favorite cheat meal is Ranch Fries with jalapenos and a Strawberry Fizz…woo hoo!
T.
amazing 🙂
