Just agree, please. Don’t take this away from me! 😉
I was quite a fan of this little creation and was surprised at just how filling the meal turned out to be.
In the mix:
- 1 banana, sliced lengthwise
- Chobani vanilla Greek yogurt
- Freshly sliced strawberries
- Sweet potato puffs cereal
- Chia seeds
I already have a bazillion different ideas about combinations to try to create various breakfast banana splits. I’m thinkin’ candied nuts, pumpkin, cottage cheese, oats… the possibilities are endless. Aren’t you pumped!? 😀
Workout
I enjoyed my breakfast after an early morning workout and a walk around the lake with Sadie.
My workout today included a BodyPump class (holy squat track!), followed by 20 minutes of light cardio on the elliptical. I spent my time on the elliptical watching recaps of the Academy Awards since I only watched some of the pre-show last night just to get a glimpse of the pretty dresses.
My favorites dresses included those worn by Mila Kunis:
Scarlett Johansson:
And Halle Berry:
I thought all of their dresses looked feminine and gorgeous, especially Mila Kunis’ gown. So, so whimsical and pretty.
Question of the Morning
- Did you watch the Academy Awards? Who do you think was the “best dressed” of the evening?
Kristy @ KristyRuns says
I don’t have a tv, but I’m trying to catch up this morning online via blogs and eonline.com. 🙂 I love Mila and Halle’s dresses! ScarJo, not so much. 😉
Victoria (District Chocoholic) says
Regarding breakfast banana splits, I have three words: Chocolate nut butter.
Allison@ Happy Tales says
oh.em.gee. that sounds AMAZING!! good call… good call.
Stacie says
Reese Witherspoon was up stunning to me. Natalie Portman was rocking her soon-to-be-mother glow too.
peanutbutterfingers says
i LOVED reese’s hair. it looked amazing! natalie portman is ALWAYS breathtaking to me.
Danica says
I watched all of it-I love award shows-and I thought that Sandra Bullock was the best dressed. She’s so gorgeous!
Brittany (A Healthy Slice of Life) says
I loved Mila’s!!! But heard a lot of people didn’t. Oh well, I think she rocked it!!
But what was up with Scar Jo’s hair? It looked like she rolled out of bed with it.
And I agree with Stacie, Natalie Portman looked amazing!!
Ali @ Ali on the Run says
My vote for Best Dressed goes to Gwyneth Paltrow. Loved her sexy, shimmery dress and her sleek, straight hair. Stunning!
peanutbutterfingers says
i watcher one of her interviews and she seems like such a cool person. very down to earth.
peanutbutterfingers says
and by “watcher” i clearly mean “watched.”
Paula @ Eat: Watch: Run says
Yes! I agree. I LOVED Mila Kunis’s dress the best. Such a pretty color, too. Although, I was not a fan of Scarlett. She looked like a doiley.
peanutbutterfingers says
LOL – yeah i knew her dress would be controversial. 🙂 i love anything lace though, so she won me over.
Michelle says
That breakfast looks delicious! I never watch Awards shows but I always like to look at the dresses the next day. Honestly I completely forgot they were on last night… but shhhh – don’t tell! 🙂
Kristin says
That “banana split” looks delicious! I love the great recipes you always come up with!
Amanda says
That breakfast looks amazing. Too bad I already ate! I will try it tomorrow for sure.
I loved Mila’s, but I didn’t see Scarlett last night. Wow, she is gorgeous.
Cara @ ChicMeetsHealthy says
loved Reese! Breakfast looks fabulous! You could always add pumpkin during the fall to give it a different twist!
Jordan P says
Camila Alves, wife of Matthew McConaughey, looked STUNNING in a plunging neckline black number, and Reese was classic Hollywood, all the way!
Anna @ ciaotochow says
I thought Mila Kunis looked stunning — LOVE the color of that dress (you don’t really see many lavendar dresses out there). Though Anne Hathaway was gorgeous as well, I feel like I’ve seen that look on her before.
Melissa says
Loved Mila and Gwyneth both! And I thought Reese and Anne Hathaway both had great hair! Not a fan of the Scar Jo look this time around.
Robyn says
I had breakfast banana splits on Saturday morning! Check out my blog for pictures! I had never heard of them and my sister wanted to make them… I’m hooked! SO yum and fun to make! I got carried away with toppings and put nuttella and went all out! LOVE IT!
Jenny says
I think Mila Kunis and Halle Berry both look amazing…not many times I can say that Halle doesn’t look amazing though. Reese looked adorable as always too.
Was not feeling Scarlett’s look at all…didn’t think the dress flattered her and her hair just looked, sorry to say, dirty to me!
Michelle @ crazyrunninglegs says
I think Mila looked fantastic.
On a side note to breakfast– I tried your bagel thin, jam (I had blackberry) and cheese (provolone) sandwich today and YUM. I was seriously doubting you, but I’m spreading the word. I will be trying the egg combo next. So thanks 🙂
Meg Mac says
Halle Berry… I think is my favorite of the night. Anne Hathaway wore some beautiful gowns too though!
Jenna...lifeinjenneral says
That breakfast great! I really liked Halle Berry’s dress…and anyone that can rock that hairstyle is gorgeous in my book.
Colleen @ The Lunchbox Diaries says
2 of your 3 made my best dressed list! I think Scarlett is a knock-out and that color was gorgeous, but it didn’t “wow” me.
Katie says
My two favorites were Scarlett Johannsen and Mila Kunis!
Emily says
I thought Mila looked amazing but I actually was not a fan of Scarlett’s look. When I expressed this to my boyfriend he told me to stop talking crazy talk.
Kara says
I actually LOVED Selena Gomez’s look … very exotic but since she is so freaking young … she just glows glows glows 🙂
Junieb says
Scarlett gets my worst dressed nod.
My best dressed is on the blog, but Halle, Hailee, Amy Adams and Gwenyth (shocking cause i dont like her or her style much)
Amanda says
And Nicole Kidman was on my worst dressed list.
Breakfast looks delish! Can’t wait to try! 🙂
Amanda says
Mila’s was great — along with Gwenyth. Jennifer Hudson ROCKED her new body! Good for her!
Stephanie @ The Cookie Battle says
I think Halle ran away with it. Stunning. Just stunning. She was one of my few “wow” moments of the evening. I like Mila’s dress, but I wasn’t in love with it.
Hope says
What a yummy looking breakfast! I liked Mila, Scarlett, Jennifer Hudson, and Busy Philips dresses. I really liked all of the different shades of purples the women were wearing.
Rachel @ The Avid Appetite says
I thought Mila look amazing! I also though Natalie Portman looked just beautiful and glowing!
Lisa says
I LOVED Mila Kunis’s dress! She is so gorgeous and always seems like she has so much fun! I also thought Natalie Portman looked beautiful- she’s definitely got that pregnancy glow going on!
VeggieGirl says
OOOOH may I come for breakfast next time you serve that? 😀
I loved Anne Hathaway’s dresses.
Gen says
Wouldn’t some Dark chocolate dreams be good on the breakfast banana split? or some of that chocolate walnut butter that you made the other day! =D
I loove mila’s dress! and halle’s is gorgeous too!
Courtney @ The Granola Chronicles says
LOVED Mila’s dress – definitely my favorite! My husband loved Scarlett’s because he has a slight obsession with her! 🙂 I think those two have been called out as “best dressed” by a lot of people now.
Laura H. says
I LOVED Reese’s dress (probably because I have a shorter version of it from White House Black Market :)), and I thought Sandra Bullock looked great too.
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
I liked Mila’s dress and Reese Witherspoon’s, but I have to say I was kind of disappointed that I didn’t absolutely adore anyone’s. Usually there are one or two that I’d pretty much die to wear, but of the big contenders no one had one like that this year!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
I think Jennifer Hudson’s dress was my favourite – the colour looked gorgeous on her and she is so beautiful. Loved Halle Berry’s as well! 🙂
Gracie says
My favorites were Michelle Williams and Jennifer Lawrence! Wasn’t loving ScarJo :/ But, I’ve got to say that I was disappointed with the fashion overall. Where’s January Jones when you need her?!
Parita @ myinnershakti says
I watched about 2/3 of the show last night, and I would have to say that Mila was rockin’ it in her dress. It was so pretty and looked great with her skin tone.
Lindz @ Happy or Hungry says
I loooooved Mila’s dress! I couldn’t stop staring at it when she was presenting! So pretty.
Jess (In My Healthy Opinion) says
Definitely liked Halle’s the best…she is SO stunning! And that color is hard to pull off. Mila’s is gorgeous too; I LOVE that light purple color.
Shana says
Mila!
Meg says
I LOVE eating bananas like that!
I personal love spreading obscene amounts of peanut, almond, or cashew butter on the banana and then sprinkling it with some of you chocolate protein granola!
YUM!
Kacy says
I definitely thought Mila Kunis was up there! Loved Jennifer Hudson and Sandra Bullock as well.
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
Reese and Natalie for sure. I thought Jennifer Hudson and Gwyneth Paltrow looked pretty/glowing 🙂 I didn’t watch it, but I did look up the dresses, of course!
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman says
I loved Mila Kunis’ dress. She looked gorgeous. Not so much a fan of Scarlett Johansson. I thought Sandra Bullock, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mandy Moore, and Anne Hathaway x7 all looked beautiful.
Mindy@FindingSilverLinings says
Does Halle Berry ever age?! She looks amazing! And that dress?! Gawd!
Heather says
I loved Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman! Personally, I thought Mandy Moore looked like Big Bird, but blue! I like Mandy Moore but not her dress last night! I also lived Reece’s hair. She always reminds me of a barbie doll!
Jihane says
I loved Hailee Steinfeld’s dress. She looked so age appropriate and really pretty.
Halle was sexy and chic as usual–loved it.
Camila Alves looked stunning!
Jennifer Hudson looked really good, but her wig was really stiff–didn’t like that.
Reese Witherspoon almost looked good, but what was up with that cheap pony-tail weave? It looked uber ghetto.
Alyssa - fashion fitness foodie says
I loved the color of milas dress but when she was presenting an award the tie around her waist was very unflattering! I thought Reese n Halle (I’m pretending were friends with first name basis talk) looked the best!
Emily says
What a super fun breakfast, Julie! Thanks for including us. And Mila Kunis’ dress was by far my favorite of the night. She looked stunning!
Best,
Emily, Chobani
Lindsay says
I loved Hailee Steinfeld’s and Mandy Moore’s dresses the absolute best! But I really liked Mila Kunis’s gown color!
