Orange Ya Glad It's Friday!?

Since I was out of lab early last night, I was able to get in bed early and got up at 5:00 for spinning this morning! I always leave the gym feeling satisfied after a hard spinning workout. Before I left - a frozen banana walnut scone with PB - (note the plate not even planned to be part of the orange theme!)

Breakfast was pumpkin oats with granola and a big water enjoyed in our neon living room

Mixture:

• 1/3 cup oats
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/2 a banana
• Vanilla
• Pinch salt
• 1/2 a cup pumpkin, heated and stirred into bowl
• 1/4 cup granola
• Spoonful PB

I have to admit, I liked the first batch of granola more. The honey made it stickier, the brown sugar a bit buttery and I think the higher temp actually made the oats crunchier than this batch. But kudos to Sarah inventing the recipe - it’s delicious either way!

And for the record, I had a small bowl of granola with milk last night before bed. I was feeling kind of empty inside -

Happy Friday!
