I actually eat wheat germ by the spoonful! I know it tastes great in granola and is fantastic in cookies, but I think it’s pretty darn fantastic on its own.
It also added a lot to my morning yogurt breakfast bowl.
Vanilla Greek yogurt + Nectarine + Wheat germ
I also grabbed a banana to eat on the run.
Workout + Walk
Breakfast was enjoyed after a quick workout (BodyPump) and a 2.5 mile walk with Ryan and Sadie.
I will be taking a photography class this evening and won’t have much time to hang out with these two tonight, so I enjoyed a our family fun walk a lot this morning.
On that note, off to work! Gotta pay ‘dem bills! 😀
Meg says
Oooh I can’t wait to hear about the photography class!
Enjoy your day and your nanner!
Dana says
Wheat germ is great. I’ve never tried it in yogurt. Can’t wait to see the results of your photography class.
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Hey Julie! That’s so cool that you’re taking a photography class. It’s one of my to-do’s for 2011 and I’m really excited to learn more about it. Do you have an SLR camera? If so, what are you using? I’m thinking about getting a Canon Rebel but am wondering if I should wait, take the class, then make the purchase. Love that photo of Sadie!
peanutbutterfingers says
i’ve heard great things about the rebel. i actually own a nikon d3000. i love it, but i am definitely not using it to its full potential. i need some serious lessons in photography!
Tina @ Faith Fitness Fun says
I think I’ve only ever had wheat germ cooked into things. Never on its own.
And how fun on the photography class tonight! glad you still got the family time this morning too. 🙂
aubrey @ italktofood says
you’re so thin! Have you always been petit?
Kristen @ That Hoosier Girl says
Have fun at the photography class! I took photography for two years in high school with one of the old-school cameras and loved it. I would love to go back and take another class with more up-to-date equipment!
Kathie @ Frugal, Fit and Fabulous says
Love wheat germ and you just reminded me i’m out and need to add it to my grocery list.
Good luck with your photography class tonight. Can’t wait to hear how you liked it.

Jennie @ Designed To Be Fit says
I actually heard that wheat germ and chia seeds are good sleep aids, which is so funny because I always see it in breakfast food! I want to try this the next time I go to Trader Joes!
Becki says
That’s one of my New Year’s Resolutions, so I was wondering if you would be so kind as to put some of the best gems of knowledge you learn on your blog, perhaps as a beginner’s guide to photography for blogs? I think it would be a great hit!
Enjoy that banana, looks yummy.
peanutbutterfingers says
definitely! assuming the class is decent, i am planning on posting a recap with my notes and tips that i learned. i hope it’s a good one!
Kaella says
Totally random comment.. but I LOVE your outfit above! Super cute!! It’s cold here… I’m stuck with layers upon layers 😉 Have a great day 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
thanks, kaella!
Nathan Miller says
Does whet germ have any taste or do you just add it add more nutrients and fiber? Ps. could it be a substitute for like cornmeal or arrowroot?
peanutbutterfingers says
it has a slightly sweet taste to it… so good! i don’t know about using it as a substitute, but it’s lighter in texture than cornmeal.
Nathan Miller says
Ok! Thanks..I may pick some up…I imagine good ol Trader Joes can hook me up
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
I REALLY need to take a photography class…I take every photo on the auto setting! By the way, I used your video to curl my hair with a straightener last night. I was so excited by how it turned out, and then I went to bed and ruined it haha. It’s pretty easy once you get the hang of it!
Healthy Chocoholic says
I’ve never tried wheat germ….what does it taste like?
Anna says
Awesome with the photography class I feel like for my birthday I may be asking for a nicer camera, because right now, my phone takes better pictures!
Also
What kind of Greek Yogurt do you eat? did you worry about the grams of sugar involved?

Allison @ Happy Tales says
Good for you for taking up a photography class! Did you buy a new camera already? Or is this the big honker that you said you didn’t like to tote around too much…
peanutbutterfingers says
it’s for the big honker… but i sucked it up and bought a new point and shoot, too. 🙂
Allison @ Happy Tales says
Very nice! I wanna buy myself a big honker one of these days. Need to do some more research, though!
