Meal Roundup
Thanks, Jenn for hosting this fantastic food event!
This week I developed a new favourite: OATMEAL. Yes, bloggers have been ga-ga for oatmeal for years but I had never been crazy for this breakfast staple…I’m not a huge fan of hot things in the AM, I would prefer icy smoothies or something sweet and crunchy (granola!). Anyway, I’ve converted! I now love oatmeal! This week I’ve been having oatmeal, flax, Spirulina and protein powder almost every morning this week. Also, I love it as an afternoon snack.
Preworkout perfection: One pack of organic instant oats with flax, 1/2 scoop protein powder of choice, 1 tsp of Spirulina, 2/3 cup HOT/boiling water or almond milk. Mix. Enjoy!
Here’s a sampling of what I’ve feasted on this week. Enjoy and be sure to suggest any meal suggestions in the comments below:)

I love the idea of your oats as a snack! I am always running out of snack ideas and need something that’s going to fill me up! None of this 2 tbsp of hummus nonsense!
I have been loving thick green smoothies in a bowl this week (topped with some Love Grown granola). Fav salad combination these days is lots of greens and vegetables with sweet potato, some sort of protein, grapefruit, and tahini! Delicious and filling.
I am OBSESSED with Love Grown Granola! What flavour do you like?
Haha it is indeed delicious! Have you tried their hot oats yet? I really like the apple walnut and the cranberry pecan!
I’m not a huge fan of warm food… like at all. I can really only eat oats when they have been chilled in the fridge. Personally, I think they taste much better that way as well
Give it a try!
Oooh cold oats? Yes please! Thanks for the suggestion, Jessie…genius, as always:)
Great outfit! Great post. Great Meal Plan. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Thanks, Kiersten!!
I have yet to be an oatmeal convert, still have not tried overnight oats
MEG YOUR OUTFIT IS AMAZZZZZING
