Happy Tuesday lovebugs!! I’ve got to say that I’m already starting to feel back in the swing of things =) Although I cannot get the amazing times I had in Mexico out of my head. I’ve decided that I need to start putting way more money into my travel savings account. Step one: cut back on shopping. Who needs clothes anyway?
Breakfast this morning was a refreshing bowl of yogurt, granola, grapes, and Dark Chocolate Dreams:
The star of this bowl was definitely the “Not Sweet Vanilla” flavored Galaxy Granola.I was so excited to get home from vacation to find that the granola fairy stopped by and left me with 3 huge bags of granola!
The lovely folks over at Fruit Not Fat were kind enough to send them to me =) I’ve also seen Galaxy Granola in my local health food store, so look out for it! Not only is this granola delicious, but the nutritional stats are just as impressive.
One of the things that I don’t like about most granolas is the serving sizes are generally pretty small. But 1/4 cup of this was a lot! The flavor and texture were right on as well - nice and crunchy with a perfect hint of sweetness. I can’t wait to try the other two flavors and make fun granola concoctions.
On the way to work I grabbed a medium coffee with cream:
Lunch was quinoa with white beans and spinach:
And some loaded yogurt of plain Fage, some more Galaxy Granola, goji berries, dark chocolate chips, and peanut butter:
I’m usually not incredibly satisfied by lunch when I pack it, but this lunch was bomb. Perfectly delicious and filling.
I’ve decided that I’m going to go ahead and let you guys Ask Me Anything! I know I’m jumping on the bandwagon a bit late, but I just figured it’d be a great way to get you all to know me a little better =) Last time around I had you all just leave me a comment with your question(s), but I’m thinking you’ll be a little more bold if you can ask me anonymously 
I’ll do my best to answer all of your questions, so get at me!
Time to get back to work. Have a great afternoon! xoxo G
What’s your favorite thing to pack for lunch?
What’s your favorite way to eat granola?
I just found your blog when you were in Mexico. I’ve been reading health blogs for a while now but I was so excited to find yours b/c we live in the same area! Most health/food bloggers that I’ve found are either in MA, FL, or NY. Anyway, even funnier was that my friend and I were just Playa del Carmen the week before you!
Just wanted to leave a comment and tell you how much I enjoy reading your blog!
SO jealous of that granola! I’ve been seeing it on every blog lately and I want to get my hands on some
Your lunch sounds fabulous! When i have to pack lunch, I like yogurt and PB & J because they both keep me full all afternoon.
What I wanna know is - how is everyone getting these free bags of ‘nola?! haha. After seeing it so many times I picked up a bag when I was at the grocery store last, but haven’t tried it yet. Just finished the last of my homemade stuff though, so I will be very soon! Can’t wait.
Unless I’ve got some mean leftovers, of course.
Every single part of your lunch looks AMAZING. I used to be so unsatisfied when I packed lunch too. It wouldn’t even be a bad lunch - I think there was just something about eating out that was way more appealing than a packed lunch. It’s funny because now I’d far prefer packing. Speaking of which - favorite to pack is obvs. a wrap of some sort
Glad you’re back into the swing of things so easily. Have a great rest of the day!
That granola looks great! I’ve gotta try it!
I love to pack all different kinds of sandwiches and salads. I basically open up the fridge, pull out whatever I’ve got, and put it all together!
That granola looks really good. I need to find out where I can buy some asap!
My new favorite thing right now is oats/granola, yogurt, cinnamon, applesauce, and peanut butter. I will eat it at anytime of the day!
I love buying fruit flavored baby food as a treat every once and a while. Some people think I’m crazy, but it’s SO smooth and yummy
lol
peace.love.em
Can we just take a moment to discuss how amazing your loaded yogurt looks? Holy num!
hey boo!!
fav thing to pack for lunch-WRAPS!! yumm! i like any kind! especially w. veggie burgers and hummus AND HOT SAUCE!
i made some quinoa-trying to get used to it! i cant!!
i never have granola here! but i may have to get some after seeing it!
That granola looks great, especially loaded with peanut butter and chocolate chips! I love packing a veggie and hummus wrap or a turkey wrap. I usually eat granola over oatmeal but stopped buying it because of the small serving sizes! I can’t usually stop!
I keep seeing Galaxy granola everywhere and it looks fantastic! I need to get my hands on some! Have a great night
Wow everything looks so yummy! I always pack my own lunch I think everyday is my favorite! x x
I can’t wait to get my hands on that Galaxy Granola!
Are those goji berries I spy in your bowl…..Ick! Haha, I just wrote about how I detest those things.
I love granola too but hate the small serving sizes- guess that’s what happens when it’s so nutritionally dense!
I love packing greek yogurt to mix with stuff, salads, wraps, or the previous night’s leftovers.
yay galaxy granola hooked me up too! awesome, love it! you’re so right, we don’t need to spend $ on clothes b/c no clothes are needed when on vacay in mexico, just a bikini!!
love granola in yogurt too <3 that looks AMAZING!! & so does the quinoa- i've actually never had it. i just like to pack a simple sandwich for lunch
maybe I have a dirty mind, but I refuse to get Quinoa because each piece looks like a little condom. lol. gross i Know, but I can’t get past it!
hahaha yuck!
exactly!
