I am counting down the days to cool crisp weather, hot chai lattes, scarves, boots and Gilmore Girls. Portland doesn’t help with it’s crazy weather either. We have crispy leaves from too much sun, cool mornings but then as soon as noon time rolls around it’s blazing hot out. So this mornings breakfast seems pretty perfect – hot, cold, creamy and packed with nutrients!

Omega Acai Banana Ice Cream Oats -5

To boost things up a bit I decided to add Genesis Today Omega 3-6-7-9. Omega 3-6-7-9 also delivers unique vegetarian sources of essential fatty acids in the oil taken from sacha inchi seeds and rare omega-7 fatty acids derived from sea buckthorn oil. This plant-based supplement also includes a beautiful blend of goji and açaí berry oils. Among other things Omega 3-6-7-9:

• Supports heart health and cognitive function*
• Supports healthy skin, hair and nails*

I like to call this my beauty bowl because of all the omegas and the acai aka the beauty berry. I know it sounds strange to have oats and banana ice cream together but I am telling you it works! The I like to mix everything together and it is a creamy goal of goodness and fills me right up until lunch.

Rootin For The Curry

5 Comments

This afternoon was spent with my nose in the books while sipping on an extra large earl grey iced tea at my second home- the coffee shop.  I am in my third week of my health counseling program and I am loving it. I had my first meeting with my health counselor last night and it went really well, a little awkward but it was fine. I one session a month so hopefully next months session with be even better!

By 4pm I was feeling hungry and I knew that if I went home and ate an early dinner that I wouldn’t be as motivated to workout so the hubby and I decided to have a light pre-workout snack.  I picked up some roasted Brussels sprouts and a corn salad for us to share.

After our 40 minute commute home (I can’t wait for them to be over) my tummy had settled and I was ready to take on Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.  I knew going into it I was guaranteed to get my ass kicked especially since I challenged myself to level 3, but I was pumped and ready to go.

Just as I predicted my ass was handed to me but it felt great! I can’t even imagine doing the P90X or Insanity workouts if this video challenges me- however I am interested in trying the P90X.  After my workout I took my jelly legs to the kitchen to heat up the curry I made this morning and serve it up with the brown rice that I put in the rice cooker while I did my workout.
