Morning! Another rushed morning where I didn’t have time to make it to the gym. My friend from college, Whitney, is coming into the city for the weekend today. She’s planning on moving here in the fall for grad school, so we’re going to look at a couple schools while she’s here. Tonight I’m hoping on hitting the gym before going out with her and a few friends.
These monster strawberries that I got at Trader Joe’s have been the highlight of my lunches for the past few days, and my Butterfinger Muesli yesterday got me thinking about another great combo: Strawberry Shortcake! This was inspired by those old Good Humor bars with the crispy topping. Yummmmm!
Strawberry Shortcake Muesli
1/2c oatmeal
1/2c nonfat vanilla yogurt
2 oz nonfat milk
2 oz unsweetened almond milk
almond extract
1 tbsp flax
1 tbsp ground almonds for crispy topping!
Yummm! I swear, I could eat my weight in muesli these days - I loooove it! Breakfast was 382 calories, 63 carbs, 12g fat, and 20g protein. This was a smaller breakfast calorie-wise than I’ve had the past couple days so I hope this will keep me over til lunch. Have a great day, guys!
Oooh, I loved the good humor bars with the chocolate crunchy topping and the fudgy middle. I forget what they are called.
First, Butterfinger Muesli; and now Strawberry Shortcake Muesli?? LOVE IT!!! Can’t wait to see your NEXT innovative breakfast variety :0)
Have fun with your friend today!!
Arielle - Chocolate Eclair. The Strawberry Shortcake ones were my fave growing up. That and Klondike bars.
VeggieGirl - Thanks! I’ll have to peruse the candy/ice cream isle for inspiration!
as a dietitian I am obviously a big nutrition nerd and love that you post all your nutrition facts with meals…do you do this with a program or just your own calculations? I’m always looking for user friendly things to show patients.
District - Thanks! I use http://www.sparkpeople.com to track my food calculations (along with my exercise calculations). It’s super easy, and really user-friendly. I know alot of people use calorieking.com. They have a database of food with its’ nutritional values - and you don’t have to log in or have an account to use it. Glad you’re reading!
All I can say is YUM!!! I must try this soon. Happy Friday
Thanks Monica! You too!
