Good morning! Well, I think I proved my theory about exercise, eating and the way I function: I slept like a rock last night. I got my 8 hours in and then some. I actually hit the snooze button twice and had to drag myself out of bed—VERY unlike me. I guess this just reiterates the importance of LISTENING to what your body needs.
And for breakfast, my lethargic self needed a smoothie in a bowl (SIAB). There’s nothing like a good dose of greens first thing in the morning to stimulate the mind and body 
.
In my blender: ½ packet Chocolate Vega Protein Powder, a generous shake of cinnamon, 1 large frozen banana, 6 ice cubes, 1 cup vanilla soy milk and a ton of baby spinach.
Toppings: Nature’s Path Vanilla Almond Flax Granola and Coconut Butter.
Glacier.
I decided to try a little Kath experiment today, and topped my smoothie with a candy coating coconut butter. When it hit the cold surface it became as hard as a rock! I loved the addition of a coconut glacier; it was like finding a fun candy bar surprise! I will be doing this again.
This breakfast was exactly what the doctor ordered! It was filling and refreshing. I think I even had a bit more bounce in my step as I exited my apartment, despite the fact that it was raining cats and dogs. I love breakfast (if you can’t tell), three cheers to my favorite meal of the day

Pep in my Step,

What is your favorite meal of the day?
I’m the odd ball, but my favorite meal is dinner. I like the increased variety that time and appetite afford me that time of the day. Not to mention, I get to have wine with dinner.
I really want to try one of these smoothies too but never ever had one! Do they taste spinachy? I’m scared.
My favorite meal is dinner. I think because I am the most relaxed at dinner. During the week breakfast is always fast and I eat lunch at my desk
So def dinner!
Hey Cassie! Spinach has a really clean taste in the smoothie. I know where you are coming from because it doesnt sound the most appealing. My favorite combination is:1 large frozen banana, 1 scoop chocolate protein, 1 TBS peanut butter, cinnamon, 1 cup vanilla soy milk and spinach. The key is to have great mix-ins. This tastes like a PB and Banana smoothie SO good.
Take care! Nora
I’m glad you got a good sleep! That’s the best feeling.
My favourite meal is breakfast too. That’s what gets me up in the mornings!
breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, especially when i have lots of time to make it!!
oh nora that looks fabulous! i would be scared of the rock hard coconut butter but if you say it is good then i believe you! glad you feel revived!
I need to try SIAB. Haha, sorry about the glacier! I’m glad you slept like a rock, also!
My favorite meal is breakfast!
