Yesterday morning, I was trying to decide what kind of oats I wanted for breakfast. Then I realized that I was out of any kind of fruit or vegetable I would mix into my oats… Not even a half banana left!
What’s a girl to do?
Then I realized, I still have some fruit! In the freezer! I pulled out some frozen strawberries, and came up with this new concoction:
Strawberry Crème Oatmeal

1/3 cup almond milk
1/3 cup water
1 spoonful flax
2/3 cup frozen strawberries, thawed
1 scoop Sunwarrior vanilla protein powder
1/2 T peanut butter
I started off by thawing the strawberries in the microwave (I’m not too patient…) and then sticking them in the blender with just a bit of almond milk.
Ready in seconds!
Then, I added the strawberry puree to my already cooking oatmeal, water, almond milk and flax. Last, I added the protein powder. Definitely be sure to mix the protein powder in well! It was a little harder with the strawberry puree in there.
The strawberry puree definitely made it more liquidy, so next time I would probably put less water or almond milk in the original mixture. However, once I let it sit for a bit, it thickened up nicely! Also, peanut butter was the perfect mix in, it was almost like peanut butter and jelly!
It may look like a disgusting brown bowl of mush, but it was pretty darn good! I definitely think it would be better with fresh strawberries, but I was trying to use these up in my fridge!
So good. The perfect start to my morning.
Next up? I got a hair cut! Don’t worry, nothing exciting, I just got a trim! I know, so adventurous.
To head though, it was time to break out an old friend. I looked at the weather and it was 37 degrees, but so windy out that it felt like 27 degrees…
It happened. I was trying to wait until after Thanksgiving, but I guess it makes to sense to torture myself just because of my stubbornness…
And what was I wearing underneath? My Chicago’s Perfect 10 Race Shirt from last weekend!
I’ve got to get in the race mood since I’ve got my 5K this morning, and I’m running 7 miles beforehand with Chelsey! In other words, I’m out the door by 6am!!! Which is why this was posted so early…
Hope you all have a great Saturday!
What’s your favorite food to eat that looks disgusting but tastes delicious?
Are you stubborn about breaking out cold weather gear?
