Just another day… just another Wednesday… just another WIAW post!  If you’d like more details on what WIAW is all about, head on over to Peas and Crayons to read more.

 

Peas and Crayons

1/4 C. dry oats

1/4 C. vanilla soymilk

1/8 C. water

~2 tablespoons almond butter in the jar

1/2 sliced bananas (added in the morning)

This was my first time trying the new Apple Cinnamon Chobani, and I am in love!

evening snack/dessert

Vitalicious Deep Chocolate VitaTop topped with 1 tablespoon peanut butter

(Vitalicious sent me a variety box of their products to try out and review, hence two of their products showing up in today’s eats.  I will do a review once I get through all of the flavors/varieties.)

I’m intrigued by the avocado/Greek yogurt combo! It looks yummy!

I’ve tried VitaTops before & I really like them. I’ve been seeing the new VitaCakes pop up on several blogs & they look delicious as well.

the avocado/greek yogurt combo is somewhat like a guacamole, except a little bit tangier because of the yogurt. it’s yummy!

I agree with Erica, the avocado toast looks good! I love avocado so this may be right up my alley! :-) I haven’t had a vita muffin in a long time. I wasn’t a huge fan, but really, was I expecting it to taste like a rich ooey gooey brownie? Lol I think I need to give them another try!

avocado on wheat toast has been one of my favorites ever since i was younger. the greek yogurt added to it makes it a little tangier and creamier – it’s so good! as for the vitatops… i’ll do a review, but i’m finding that it depends on the flavor. some i really like, and some are just okay.

Haha I had a serious “I need chocolate” day yesterday. I finished off my chocolate bar in the freezer, then made some chocolate coffee!!

I don’t eat oats very often (I know, I know, crazy) but I LOVE having smoothies in a nut butter jar! SO delicious!

That mashed avocado and yogurt mixture looks SO GOOD! I’ve never even heard of that before…now I can’t wait to try it!

Reply

17 Ashley February 1, 2012 at 2:02 pm

it kind of reminds me of a guacamole because it’s so creamy, but it is a little more tangy because of the yogurt. i love it though!

24 Lindsay @ Fuel My Family February 1, 2012 at 2:42 pm

those vitatops looks amazing. I see them all over the blogworld but they are so expensive. I’d like to read your review as to if you’d actually spend your own money on them.

Reply

25 Ashley February 1, 2012 at 2:48 pm

yes, yes, they are pricey! i am pretty “cheap” too, so i will make sure to include that in my review. ;)

I had green beans and salmon for dinner as well!

Those Vitamuffins are amazing by the way! Have you tried the banana nut one?

Reply

27 Ashley February 2, 2012 at 7:00 pm

yes!! the banana nut one is actually one of my favorites – especially with some peanut butter on top. ;)

Chocolate vita-muffins! Yum! :) Especially with peanut butter smeared on top!
