Breakfast 2 go


So today I was running late per usual. This is what I decided upon. 

1 packet of wegmans organic plain instant oatmeal 
2 chopped dates 
6 chopped strawberrys 
1 chopped apple 
1 stevia in the raw packet 
1 tbsp of organic chocolate peanut butter powder 
1 tsp agave nectar 
Splash of unsweetened vanilla almond milk

May I just say... OMG. Amazing. I hadn't been doing oats at all but then I said, yolo. This is such a wonderful combination. If I had bananas or raisins i'd add them to. Loading up on as much fruit as possible with the oats is the key to staying fuller for longer. Hope you enjoy! xoxo

About 15 cherries

2 strawberries 
4 small stalks of kale, stems removed

The second one, the pink one, is simply just blended seedless watermelon! This is one half of a watermelon. It was sweet but not crispy enough so blending was perfect! 

Hope you enjoy! Xoxo
