Good Morning and happy weekend! The sun is finally shining here, and I’m a happy camper. Yesterday’s Rachel’s Challenge presentation was incredible. Just incredible. I’m so glad I went.
Afterwards, we went to Chipotle for lunch.
Chicken salad with guacamole…deeeelish.
Then my mom, grandma, aunt and I went shopping for the afternoon. I’m not a big shopper (in fact, I really dislike it) but it was so fun being with the fam. Plus my mama bought me a purse that I’m so in love with.
I kind of have a thing for Audrey Hepburn, so when my mama saw this, she insisted that I own it. She’s pretty awesome. After shopping we went back to mis padres house and had a little snack before I drove back home.
Blueberry scone + some coffee – perfection.
For dinner, I was in the mood for more fruit cereal. This stuff is addicting.
Banana, apple, blueberries, coconut. The best part about adding blueberries is the purple milk.
Meeker and I stayed up late last night just catching up. We have both been so busy that it felt like we hadn’t even talked in weeks. Yay for weekends! This morning I slept until about 8:30, then woke up to make something yummy.
Chocolate Protein Pancakes!
Inspired by HEAB, I created this breakfast treat.
- ¾ cup egg whites (equal to about 7 large eggs)
- ¼ tsp. cream of tartar
Put that in an electric mixer and whisk until stiff peaks form. Then add:
- 1 egg yolk
- 30 grams unsweetened protein powder
- ¼ cup oats
- 1 tbs. Nunaturals Baking Blend
- 1 tbs. cocoa powder
-
1 tsp. cinnamon
Blend until combined then cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes per side. Quick and easy. I topped mine with a tablespoon of coconut butter. Next time I might add a tad bit more liquid, as they were pretty dense. However, they were super tasty and I felt good about eating them.
Enjoy your Saturdays immensely.
Your Chipotle dishes came out so much better looking than the 1 I’ve gotten. It was pretty nasty and totally turned me off from the restaurant :-/
You should try again!! I love that place.
Chipotle makes me feel like I have just eaten rocks :/ but I’m glad your stomach can handle it well!
MMMmmmmmmm, love protein pancakes!! Those look soooo good!!
That purse is adorable! I have a friend who is a HUGE Audrey fan and will be very jealous…
Enjoy the rest of your day!
Yumm Chipotle- it’s been far too long since I had it! Love that purse, so fun! Hope you’re having an amazing Saturday
Am I too old to be excited about blue milk? I’m trying to up my produce intake this week so I’m pretty sure fruit cereal will be on the menu, thanks for the idea.
That purse is so cute!! I used to have one quite similar. I was in love with it.
Those pancakes look SO SO GOOD!!! I tried to make them one time but mine ended up tasting like an egg white, not so good with the sweet parts.
Very cute purse! My mom always wants to take me shopping when I visit her. I am excited for the first hour of it and then inevitably start begging her to go home.
Mothers are just so great and sweet! That is such a cute purse!
I LOVE that purse. Too cute. And the pancakes sound fab!
Chipotle’s guac is so yummy! And I love your purple milk
Great purse! I don’t like shopping either, but sometimes I just gotta do it! I love the purple milk – I’ve never added blueberries to cereal and milk, but I may have to so that i can have purple milk
Have a great Sunday!
Oh yay for a new purse! That’s such a Katie purse. I can’t see anything Audrey Hepburn without thinking of you (I think it all stemmed from your mug).
And I’m totally with you on the hating shopping thing. I had to get a dress this weekend and I was DREADING it with all my heart. Luckily it was pretty painless!
I’m glad you had such a good time with family – there’s really nothing better.
Happy Sunday!! (no Sunday Blues! Unless you eat fruit cereal, that kind of blue is okay
)
Your purse is so cute! What a nice mom you have!
The blueberry scones look AMAZING!!
Hope you had a great rest of your day!
It sounds like you had a lovely weekend! It was so humid here in Charlotte.. it’s unbelievable, now I’m wishing I was in the Colorado cool air
Delicious eats as usual! I really need to try fruit cereal, it sounds like a great after dinner snack while being lazy in front of the tv. Have a great week! xoxo
your mom is so sweet – i love that purse!!
why do everyone protein pancakes look tastier than mine? hmmm…
