Double hooray for them being on sale at the grocery store for the past month!
I’m a serious fruit fanatic and love almost every kind of fruit, but to me, berries are the best kinda fruit for mixin’.
This morning I used about 1/2 a pint of $2.50 blueberries in a yogurt bowl and topped the mixture with old fashioned oats.
On the side I sipped on Barnie’s French vanilla coffee, which I snagged from my gym’s free stash. Gotta make the most of that membership. 😉
Workout
I slept like a rock last night. Aside from a random dream about Hulk Hogan (what???), I slept soundly.
When my alarm went off I was dead asleep. Thank goodness Ryan goes to the gym at the same time as me in the morning, because when he gets out of bed, it motivates me to get out of bed too.
As we were walking to the gym, I knew today would be a BodyPump-kinda day. I didn’t feel like putting myself through a quality workout so I figured I’d let the instructor do it for me. 🙂 Fifty minutes later, I was happy and sweaty.
Post ‘Pump, I did 25 minutes of light cardio o n the elliptical with Oxygen magazine. (To all of you Oxygen readers out there – don’t you think the cover model looks just like Kristin Davis??)
Question of the Day
- What is your favorite kind of berry?
In my opinion, if a strawberry is perfectly ripe and super-sweet, there’s no better berry. 😀
Jessica @ How Sweet says
I love strawberries, too! I like the taste of black/raspberries, but I hate that the seeds get stuck in my teeth.
LiveForTheRun says
Blackberries all the way:) Although those blueberries look ripe perfect:)
Berries and whipped cream, mmm!
Happy Monday!
Kelly says
I love blueberries and blackberrys!
Courtney says
Strawberries & blueberries are tied for me…I love them BOTH, and will be enjoying both of them equally at lunch today 😛 (along with a giveaway!!) 😉
pinkypunks says
Strawberries or raspberries 🙂
Jenna says
Raspberries, blueberries and strawberries…i do them all!
MelissaNibbles says
I love blueberries! I got a deal this weekend at the farmstand down street from my apartment. An entire pint for a dollar! I bought three!
Despues I Do says
I love strawberries! I especially love their smell.
Good job on rocking that workout this morning. I agree that on those days when I’m really not feeling it, a class is often the best option!
lisaou11 says
blackberries ALL the wa y!!
coffeeismycarrot says
Best berry for me is a blueberry. Good on or in almost anything.
Kelly says
Definitely blueberries!!!
midgetkeeper says
I love raspberries, soooo good!
Sara says
I love strawberries! And I love how cheap they are in the summertime. 🙂
Heather says
i love blueberries mixed into things, but just to eat straight i love strawberries and cherries…the sweet/tart is always a win for me!
Marlo says
So jealous of your gyms free coffee. We have a neat machine that dispenses lattes and such but its just as expensive as going to Starbucks. So why not have a fresh brewed cup. Boys are such good motivation to get up and out of bed. My ex was like that for me.. He’d get up a few minutes earlier and wake me.. it was great!! Always started the morning out ON TIME!
Ally @ Sweet & Savory says
I love ALL berries, but strawberries are by far my favorite!
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman says
I had blueberries in my oats today, too. Those were perfect this morning. But I do love a really sweet strawberry.
Rachel says
I had a very similiar breakfast, Chobani with strawberries and pumpkin flax granola. It was a nice change from my usual oatmeal or eggs. My favorites are blackberries, strawberries and blueberries.
Amber K says
Strawberries absolutely. Sweet, not too tart. Amazing!
The only berry I have tried that I don’t like is blueberries. When I was a kid I was camping, sitting back snack on blueberries when I got a stung by a bee on my fingers. Totally weird, but I haven’t liked their taste since then. I’ve even tried them again (last summer) as an adult and they taste disgusting to me!
Ashley says
Love blackberries and raspberries!!
I wonder if your Hulk Hogan dream had to do with the talk about strength training a couple posts ago… haha.
Miranda @ Mirandasjeans says
Do I really have to pick just one? Strawberries I suppose, but I love raspberries and blueberries so. Prob blueberries more than raspberries, right now. Blackberries rock too!
Sara says
ALL berries are so good! My market just had blackberry half pints on sale 10 for $10, so of course I snagged 10 of them. Inspired by your blog, I had a barley bowl this morning with fresh raspberries. It’s a little chilly in Colorado, so I heated the barley up with some milk like you would oatmeal, then topped it with the tasty raspberries. Thanks!
peanutbutterfingers says
yummmm! that sounds great.
Brynne says
Yummm! Strawberries and raspberries are the bestttt!
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
Strawberries and raspberries are my favorites- I love them with homemade chocolate sauce! Yum 🙂 Hope you’re having a great day!
spabettie says
she TOTES looks like Kristin Davis 🙂
my favorite berry BY FAR –> blueberry. Marionberries are a close second.
Hulk Hogan, huh? 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
werid, i know. he was talking to his wife about how tan they were & i was just watching them by the pool. it was odd. not sure where that one came from.
spabettie says
awesome!! tee hee, anyone talking about how tan they are. 🙂
Lauren says
Love the summer berries. My fridge is fully stocked with just about every kind at the moment! 🙂
It’s always nice to have a good motivator to workout. My hubby always encourages me to lift because he knows how much I don’t like to do it. It’s so much easier to go to the gym when I know he is going too!
christina says
blueberries! your gym has free coffee? nice!
louisianagrown says
I think my favorite would have to be blackberries, but I haven’t gotten my hands on any yet this summer.
I could sure use a man to motivate me to get up and go workout in the mornings…
Megan says
Raspberries!!!! They go with everything and I mean EVERYTHING. Since you love peanut butter, might I suggest celery with peanut butter and raspberries?!?! Amazing flavor and a favorite protein snack of mine.
Kate says
Blueberry update…they are going on sale at Publix next ad (probably starts Thursday for you too) for 1 pt pkg, 2/$3. Stock up!
jenny in new york says
Rasppberries are definitely my favorite… by far! Then comes black raspberries (grown in my backyard!) and then strawberries. Raspberries are my FAVORITE food!
Sarah (Enjoying One Meal at a Time) says
I love love strawberries! I get so excited when they are in season 🙂
