Proatbran

by runeatrepeat on January 13, 2011

I did it again! I let myself stall my run too long this morning which meant the entire last half of the run all I thought about was breakfast. I was hungry and considered all of the following:

  • Smoothie with PB toast on the side
  • Smoothie in a bowl
  • Egg sandwich
  • Frozen waffles
  • Yogurt bowl
  • A Panera bagel wlEmoticon smile20 Proatbran
  • Pizza eggs

All those choices still sound so good! I love breakfast. Luckily I only did 4 miles today so I didn’t have to wait too long to eat.  When I got home I decided to try an oldie, but goodie – Oat bran. IMG 6313 thumb ProatbranI used to be obsessed with this stuff and prefer it over oatmeal (but NOT over steal cut oats, oddly enough). I burnt myself out on hot bowls of oats and suspect that the blog oatmeal phenomenon turns me off a bit since I’m used to being the red-headed odd-one-out in a crowd wlEmoticon smile20 Proatbran

Since I am trying to incorporate more protein in my meals I knew this bowl needed something. I considered stirring in some egg whites, but decided to try protein powder. I used a scoop of this new-to-me flavor – Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl. Can’t go wrong with that combo! IMG 6318 thumb Proatbran

It didn’t sweeten up the oat bran enough for me so I added a packet of chemicals knock off splenda. Then it was perfect. I’m calling it Proatbran wlEmoticon smile20 ProatbranIMG 6314 thumb Proatbran

Topped with almond butter and chia seeds. This is comfort in a bowl on a cold morning. IMG 6317 thumb ProatbranToo bad it’s not cold here! Well, not too bad – Thank Goodness because I love it!image thumb2 Proatbran

Question of the day (I found on it 9GAG and Reddit):

What would you choose:

Well, since I can’t eat bread, I think my choice is clear ;-)

I vote for breadsticks. Sadly.

Yeeaahhh….I’m not THAT big of a fan of breadsticks…

If you were to offer a lifetime of Justin’s chocolate hazelnut butter? Now, that’s a completely different story.

Breadsticks. I didn’t even have to think about that. How sad.

VERY jealous about the weather where you are…I’m in SC, and it’s supposed to drop down to 14 degrees tonight :(

Hey Monica! Quick question about adding protein powder to your hot cereals. Do you add before and then cook or stir in at the end. Thanks!

I cooked it first and then added the protein powder. At this point some people add almond milk or water and heat further.

Hahahahaha… I literally just choked on my green monster!

I would have to choose the breadsticks!

I would only choose the breadsticks if you add in a lifetime supply of marinara. ;)

Since I already have the man of my dreams (I swear he didn’t pay me to say that!) I would go with the breadsticks. I loooove me some hot n ready bread sticks from Little Cesars :)

Okay Monica, i have to go to the store today and get some bread, you keep mentioning egg sandwitches and now I crave one or two or three.

i’m not a big enough breadstick fan to go for that choice. maybe if the other option were grilled cheese or beer cheese dip?

If the breadsticks are gluten-free, I’m pretty sure I’m leaning that way… lol

I have to be in the mood for sex, but breadsticks? Mmmmm

Plus, 48 hours of sex sounds like a recipe for a raging UTI, or am I reading too much into the question? :)

27 Kianni January 13, 2011 at 8:31 pm

Well, I don’t really like breadsticks, so I guess by default…..

Sexytime most def :)

Omg this reminds me. Have you ever had the breadsticks from Pat & Oscars? Those are so freaking amazing. They give you a few while you wait in line…amazing.

Not that I’d choose the breadsticks or anything.

I always avoided it when my co-workers would go – we worked right by one! But, I was scared of them. I kind of regret that. We should go together!

31 Kristen January 13, 2011 at 9:52 pm

What a great would you rather!

If the breadsticks were calorie free, I’d pick them.. but 48 hours of sexy-time is the winner for me!

32 Christina January 13, 2011 at 9:53 pm

Sadly I’d devote myself to the bread. You can eat the bread with the parentals around, can’t do the same with the other ;)

Reply

33 VanessaG January 13, 2011 at 10:17 pm

I’d have to vote for the breadsticks…as long as I don’t gain weight. I’d slather cheese on them and dip them in marinara….yummy (just as good as the other choice,haha)
Soooo jealous of the weather. Ive been cooped up all week (teacher=no school all week, only 3days last week)!

34 Sana January 13, 2011 at 11:05 pm

I can’t stand sex that lasts for more then 30 mins. Bread sticks!

Reply

35 runeatrepeat January 14, 2011 at 6:15 am

Agreed.

Reply

36 Anne January 13, 2011 at 11:40 pm

I second @Sana – my first thought was, mmm, sex! But then, wow… 48 hours? Chafing…

Still, probably better for me and my waistline in the long-run than the never-ending temptation of breadsticks. Sex it is!

37 Lo January 14, 2011 at 4:16 am

hahahah def, def, def the sex. 48 hrs of amazing hot sweaty sex? Although I do love breadsticks, if I eat a lifetime supply of them, no one will ever have even 48 seconds of sex with me!

xoxo
Lo

True! Life time supply of bread sticks = not looking good naked :( Shoot, it would probably only take a week before I started even showering with clothes on.
