Postgrad Diaries {Breakfast on the Go}

Hey y'all,

Until I started to see a nutritionist I never really ate breakfast. I like breakfast foods and brunch on the weekends is great but I am the kind of person who would rather spend those extra ten minutes lying in bed and not spending extra time in the kitchen. So I thought I would share some of my favorite quick and to grab and go and if you have any ideas I would love for you to share them!

Chocolate Strawberry Smoothie.
I am currently loving this breakfast. You add 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, a scoop of chocolate protein powder (if you have vanilla protein powder just add in some unsweetened cocoa powder), a banana and some frozen strawberries (about five or so). Blend all together well. Enjoy!

Greek Yogurt+Bar.
It took me a really long time to like greek yogurt. I still can only eat a few very specific brands and I found the Fage Fruyo Blended Greek Yogurt to have a great consistency. I tend to pair this up with some fruit or a protein bar like Luna or Lara bars for more protein in my morning.

English Muffin
I love toasting a whole grain English muffin, add some crunchy peanut butter and eat this alongside a banana. I sometimes add honey on top of the peanut butter for some excellent sweetness.

Of course I have a nice glass of water alongside all these since I don't drink coffee.

What's your favorite breakfast before work or school?

Weekend Shenanigans.

Hi y'all,

I hope you had a lovely weekend. Mine was filled lots of relaxing and cuddling with cats. I promise I am not a crazy cat lady but when your parents let you watch their 5 month old kitten and year and a half year old cat for a week you kind of go crazy since the last time I saw them was for an afternoon back in August. 

Anyhoo, let's get this show on the road.

Friday. Friday was my lazy day, I came home, I cuddled with kittens, took a two hour nap and then hung out with the roomie for the rest of the night. I think that is a successful night in.

Saturday morning we woke up and headed to the farmers market. I didn't pick anything up but the roomie did grab some lavender soap and some kale. After that we decided to hit up Marshall's/TJ Maxx. While we didn't find anything at TJ, we hit up Marshalls and I found some adorable Minetonka slippers for $24.99. I might be bringing them to my office as my desk shoes. 

After Marshall's we hit Old Navy and I found a ton of cute tops for work that I am waiting for them to go on sale and then they will be in my closet.

Then it was off to workout where we rescued a giant caterpillar who was on the bricks and moved to leaves.

After that I headed to church to teach Sunday school. The rest of the night I babysat. *I told you it was an uneventful weekend.

Sunday. The cats as usual woke me up at 6:30 but I managed to stay in bed until 8, but this meme is how I feel every morning with these cats. 

 Then rHm made some yummy pancakes for breakfast before we headed to church.

The rest of the afternoon was cuddling with the cats, running to the grocery store and making dinner. After that I headed to the PBX officer meeting and called it a night. 

I hope y'all had some exciting things this weekend but if not here is little Lily wishing you a happy Monday on this dreary day.
