…in my tummy, that is. I don’t know about you readers out there who run, but I’m always hungry all day long the day after my long runs. Actually, my tummy really started grumbling as I was falling asleep last night, and came in full force this morning.
Over the past few days, I have become obsessed with a few things.
1) Overnight Oats
I realize this may look rather disgusting, but why have I never attempted this before?! It’s quite possibly the easiest possible breakfast in the entire world, and oh-so-good! Mine included old-fashioned oats, original almond milk, chia seeds, 2% Mango Chobani, strawberry preserves, and a big dollop of almond butter. Yummmmm. Exactly what my runner’s appetite needed this morning.
2) Blue Diamond Wasabi and Soy Sauce Almonds
I’ve never been one to eat nuts outside of a salad, but my mind has been changed. These were so good, and had the perfect amount of bite at the end. I’m going to be on the hunt for a giant container of these on my next shopping trip.
3) Silk Dark Chocolate Almond Milk
I was trying to buy some chocolate milk for my post-workout fuel, but the grocery store only had whole milk chocolate milk. I don’t cringe at the calories of whole milk; I just think it’s tastes too heavy. Instead, I bought the Silk Dark Chocolate Almond Milk, and it’s quite yummy. Not the same as my beloved chocolate milk, but I would gladly buy it again.
I’ve also cooked up something super tasty, but I’ll share what it is tomorrow along with a product review for ZipFizz. In the meantime, here’s a preview.
I’ll be heading to the gym in about 45 minutes to try to get my name on the list for BodyPump tonight and hijack a treadmill from the new years resolution crowd for my 3 mile planned run. Catch you tomorrow!
Question of the Day: What foods are you loving right now?
Ugh good luck at the gym! It’s been a mad house!
I’m in love with the almond chocolate milk! I buy one chocolate and one vanilla every time I go to the store….it’s like crack I think!
Isn’t it so good? I lucked out at the gym today…phew.
I’m loving chocolate rice milk and fried eggs! I don’t now why but I could seriously eat my weight in fried eggs. I like poached eggs the best but they are too difficult to make (well for a kitchen novice like me anyways!).
I could live off of eggs, for real haha
i’ve never tried almond milk – i’m sometimes curious when i’m grocery shopping but always revert back to my beloved soymilk. i could be swayed by a dark chocolate flavoring though… hmmm..
Either that or Vanilla is a good start, especially for oatmeal!
I’m crazy for avocado and pistachios this week!! How’d the gym go? Mine hasn’t been too too crowded so that’s nice.
The gym has been manageable, but should be better in a couple weeks bleh
Love those wasabi almonds, always have a can of them in my desk.
I’m going through them quicker than crack.
Haha, love overnight oats but it always looks super gross in pictures! 🙂
I’m loving green smoothies right now!
Yum your smoothies have been looking really good if I say so myself.
I really do not like almond milk.. but I have never tried the chocolate one… so I might have to see if this kind is different for me!
Those nuts are great.. so flavorful!
Hey, we can’t all love everything, but at least there are tons of options out there 🙂
Aren’t overnight oats the easiest?! Thanks for including our 2% Mango in yours, what a tropical treat! Please feel free to email me if ya ever need a fresh supply 🙂
Thanks, Lindsay!
im loving peanut butter and sweet potatoes. together.
and candy, of course.
I heard that is surprisingly a delicious combo lol
I’ve never tried chocolate almond milk before, but I do love chocolate milk so maybe I should try it out. Those wasabi almonds look good. I always saw them at the store but never buy them. I think I might next time. 🙂
Good luck fighting with the crowds at the gym! That’s one thing I hate about new years. The gym gets packed with people and then a few weeks later, everyone is gone and the gym gets empty again.
Don’t get the almonds…they are too addicting.
The gym is always the worst in January. Give it a few weeks, there’ll be tons of open treadmills! That dark chocolate Almond Milk looks soooo good. Must try!
Hah patiently waiting!
I just got the new chobani flavors!! And those freaking almonds are DANGEROUS. Good thing you got the packet and not the jar!
The apple cinnamon looks SO good.
I’m loving real, whole, raw milk and cheese made from it! So lucky to have the ability to buy from a local farm even though I live in a city.
I’ve never tried raw milk…honestly it kind of scares me, but the cheese sounds fantastic!
