Greetings!
We finally made it to bed last night at 1:30am and were up at 6am. Saaa-weet. ;)
You know I love my Green Monsters, Japanese Sencha green tea, and Vegan Overnight Oats in the morning, but I’m pretty sure there is no better way to start the day than a juicy mango.
Off. the. hook.
Mango > Cherries (this week, anyways)
I also made some Carob Pumpkin Vegan overnight oats to go along with it!
Carob Pumpkin Vegan Overnight Oats
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/3 cup pumpkin
- 2 tbsp carob powder
- 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp almond buttahhhh
Directions: Whisk everything together except the almond buttahhhh in a small bowl and place in fridge for about 1/2 hour (or longer if preferred).
Fueled up and ready to fly!
We’re going to miss Sketchie dearly.
I think he is sad too.
He loves sleeping on paper, by the way. It’s like a nest. ;)
He is going to have tons of fun with grandma and grandpa…he just doesn’t know it yet!
I stuffed our suitcases full of Glo Bars and Amazing Grass. I should be good to go!
We are flying out of Buffalo as it was about $200 cheaper than flying out of Toronto. When we arrive we are meeting up with Eric’s Irish uncle who just happens to be in town for Lollapalooza that he is catering. Other plans include possibly going to the Yum Universe Launch Party tonight.
See you in Chicago!
Woohoo I’m so excited for you! Have a great weekend in Chicago and I can’t wait to follow along! I WILL be at HLS next year! :)
Looks soo yummy! Have a blast at the HLS!
Sketchie should know that grandparents are always the best babysitters!! :)
Have fun! I can’t wait to read about it and live vicariously through you. ;)
I had a question about Amazing Grass products – I found some single serving packs at a health food store in Kensington market, but not the full containers. Are those not for sale in Canada?
Love the cupcakes – have a great time at the summit. So jealous but can’t wait to read your recaps
Nothing is more intoxicating than mango in the morning. Love your blog!!!
Have a safe trip! I’m looking forward to meeting you and sampling your Glo Bars this weekend!
I hope you have a nice flight!
And have an amazing time in Chicago!
Have so much fun here! You’re going to love Chicago!
I love Sketchie’s spots- is he a certain kind of cat? Have a great trip!
Have a WONDERFUL time in the windy city…Sketchie is the most BEAUTIFUL CAT I HAVE EVER SEEN..Wish I had one like that. He needs to on tv..
That mango looks delicious! Have fun in Chi-town!
Ahh, wish I could go. Have fun!
have a great time. your cat is absolutely gorgeous. i’m sure you’ve mentioned this before, but what type is he/she
I wish I was going to HLS! Have so much fun. I’ve yet to try a Glo Bar, but I really want to.
Have a good time in Chicago. I have never been there before but I am sure it is very nice.
Have fun in Chicago! Your cat is so dang cute I can’t take it! Personally I don’t like mango but I totally agree that there is nothing in the world like fresh fruit for breakfast (or anytime really!)
That mango looks like <3 on a plate :)
That looks like a fun party tonight I was checking it out.
Have fun in Chicago! I’m so jealous you have pumpkin! I can’t find it in the stores anywhere! I can’t wait til fall so it’s back on the shelves! :)
Have fun on your travels Angela – I’m so glad we get to go with you. I was nervous about what I was going to do without my OSG fix every day!
Love the Sketchie pics – can never have too many of those :)
I like his eyebrows – he looks tough!
aww Sketchie really is TOO CUTE :)
Kitties are the best! Mine love paper in any form too, especially wrapping paper so Christmas and birthday’s are pretty special days for them.
Hope you have a safe trip and lot’s of fun!
Oh! I wish I could go this year! Hoping to get there next year…will be great to finally meet all the bloggers I “know” from blog world. I hope everyone has so much fun! Can’t wait to see pictures from the events!
Happy Trails! I swear that is the MOST beautiful cat I have ever seen!
Incredible pictures of your cat, very precious!
Hopefully your not too exhausted!
OOOHHH You are going to have so much fun in Chicago!! I can’t wait to hear all about it!
That mango looks so delicious… You take such great pictures! And Sketchie is adorable as always.
Have fun in Chicago! Can’t wait to hear about your trip on the blog :)
Hope you have a blast in Chicago. My Fitnessista friend will be there. Hope you get together.
have a blast in the windy city!! woohoo!!
mm ive been totally obsessed with carob lately! <3
Sketchie is so cute. (sorry, new to your blog) I have not had pumpkin in soo long. It is definitely time, those oats looks great!
Cats love sleeping on paper! I always save tissue paper for mine. She likes to tear it up and then sit on her ‘spoils’ ….. uh she has a vendetta against all tissues.
I am so excited to go to HLS next year! I’m a new healthy blogger who found out about the conference too late. I hope you have a great time!
Where do you buy your chia seeds and what brand? I am on a gluten-free, dairy-free, wheat-free diet and need some help! Thanks!
So, I tried making the Carob Pumpkin Vegan Overnight Oats, but they didn’t turn out. I didn’t have the right ingredients on hand, so that probably had something to do with. I substituted ground flax seed for the chia seeds, cocoa powder for the carob powder & rice milk for the almond milk. It turned out bitter (I’m guessing from the cocoa vs carob – is carob sweeter than cocoa? I’ve never had it before) and runny (I’m guessing from the consistency of rice milk vs almond milk?) HELP!
I love your photos of Sketchie. The second one of him is priceless. My cats have a thing for tissue paper, which makes wrapping gifts in bags a little difficult.
