Tropical Oat Smoothie Bowl

By

This post is sponsored by The Quaker Oats Company but all opinions are my own.

‘Tis the season for all things tropical, summery and cool! I’ve been mixing up my breakfasts between yogurt bowls, overnight oats and smoothies.

Back in the day, aka 2011, I discovered how delicious it is to put raw oats into a smoothie — a summer trend people are now calling “smoatmeal!” Sometimes I soak them overnight oats style and other times I just throw a handful right into the blender. I absolutely love both the taste and texture they lend. They add a hint of doughy flavor and a nice thickness, which is especially great if you’re eating your smoothie in a bowl (less dripping!).

I enjoy eating oats because they can be a good source of fiber and 100% whole grain, which helps give me energy. This recipe has 6 grams of fiber and 20 grams of protein – talk about a nutritious morning!  

In celebration of summer, I combined some of my favorite tropical flavors for this bowl: mango, papaya, banana and coconut. Plus a hint of mint! Here in prime fruit season, there are so many creative options, from peaches and stone fruits to all the fresh summer berries you can pick up at the farmer’s market.

For this smoatmeal, combine your overnight oats base the night before, give everything a quick blend, and place the blender in the fridge to set. This also saves time in the morning if you have your fruits prepped too.

In the morning, add a wee bit more milk and your fruits and blend away.

The extra fruits you reserved become optional toppings. There are so many beautiful smoothie bowls across the Internet right now — the patterns and designs have become an art!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
