And sunflower seed bread with almond butter is a perfect breakfast (add some banana and you have a well rounded meal.)
I even splurged a little and bought some cereal. This is Kashi Heart to Heart Warm Cinnamon with added dried cranberries and banana. Exactly what I wanted, and more filling than I expected.
Not to be forgotten...this could almost be breakfast. I used this recipe, except I grabbed a random flour from the cabinet. I thought it was whole wheat flour, but I think it was cornmeal? The banana chip muffins are a little different, but not bad. Not bad at all.
One cannot live off bananas and grains alone, though.
NOW it's breakfast. Single serve travel french press! No more $2 every morning!
Nice! There's no reason to try and face the day until you're on the outside of a truckload of caffeine.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteJam in oats...never thought to try this. Sounds super good with the almond butter and banana!
ReplyDeleteOh, do! It's really delicious. And swirly.
DeleteI really like the result of cooking bananas with cereal — it's great with buckwheat — but for some reason I can't fathom, combining banana slices with nut butter makes me gag. It looks and sounds like it would be the perfect combo, but it gets me every time I try. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI really want to try buckwheat soon. I used to love the flour in pancakes. Yum.
DeleteBob's Red Mill creamy buckwheat cereal. Though I've heard WF has a 365 brand that's cheaper and better.
DeleteThat is an impressive coffee!! I don't even like coffee but I bow down to your giant travel press! :) I'm very much digging oatmeal (or porridge in these here parts) with banana and almond butter at the moment. Sunflower seed bread looks awesome too. Gah, so much food and so little time to stuff it in my gob! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I guess it does look huge in the photo... it makes about 14 oz.
DeleteSingle serve travel french press?!?!!?!!? You are my hero. Seriously that's amazing I'm so insanely jealous!
ReplyDeleteI am such a sucker for bananas and grains and I miss them both tremendously. The oats look perfectly creamy and I LOVE bread with nut butter and banana. It's so simple but seriously a perfect meal. I like your additions to the cereal... there's a lot of nice texture happening there! The muffins look yummy and chocolatey! Yum!
Haha, you too can drink out of a travel french press! All it takes is a lil gumption.
DeleteCereal #2! I'm keeping track, you know. Waiting for the appearance of fruity pebbles.
ReplyDeleteI WISH! Are those vegan?
DeleteAllow me to echo the above sentiments regarding the single serve coffee press - AWESOME! I love the twist on the muffins, I bet they are delicious. Nut butter and bananas, cereal and bananas, oatmeal with bananas - yes to all of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, they were good... not really dense as you (I) might think.
DeleteYou just gave me some new breakfast ideas that sound great! Love the single serving french press. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad. These are pretty typical for me.
DeleteMmmm, breakfast food....If vegetables and greens didn't make me feel so darn awesome, I would eat breakfast food all the day long.
ReplyDeleteOh, I make sure to get plenty of those in too.
DeleteMy friend has a fancy travel thingy like that but she uses it for loose leaf teas- i'm a coffee girl myself and french press really does make a good cup! I am anti banana myself but nut butter and breakfast is always a good call. The muffins are such a great grab and go choice.....i'm assuming "chips" mean chocolate right? Who did i lend my muffin pan to...?
ReplyDeleteTtrockwood@yahoo.com
I almost freaked out when I couldn't find my muffin pans at first. Ya gotta keep those things in sight at all times. Who knows when the need will hit?
DeleteThis all looks utterly delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lauren.
DeleteIt's so great to see someone focusing on breakfast for once!
ReplyDeleteIt's the most important meal of the day.
DeleteFruit and grains, together at last. I mean, together forever. :) And that single serve coffee is a great idea! I do buy coffee most days (the coffeeshop is sort of my office), but on library days...yeah, that would be super convenient.
ReplyDeleteThat's the thing! I love hanging out in the coffeeshop! But I guess I should give up money where I can.
DeleteThe oatmeal looks delicious. I may have to have this for an afternoon snack.
ReplyDeleteIt was great, if not super sexy.
DeleteI will have to get Mr. SV one of those French Presses. So your link to the Muffin recipe didn't take. What was it?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I fixed it: http://italltastesgreektome.blogspot.com/2013/01/vegan-chocolate-chip-banana-muffins.html
DeleteHers look prettier of course.
Cool! I love your new French press. Hooray for saving $$.
ReplyDeleteYeah except of course I had to spend money to save money...
DeleteI've been neglecting oatmeal! Poor oatmeal. Yours looks so awesome. And single-serving french press is like...the best idea ever.
