Berry Damn Good { eat and drink }

by Healthy Diva on January 26, 2012

 

Good Morning!

Last night I hardly slept, which is a typical night for me. Lots of stuff running through my mind right now, personal stuff that will unfold on the blog eventually, nothing bad just life taking its course.

One thing is house hunting that made me not sleep, we are going to see 6 houses today, so we are excited for that! We are taking the house hunting process slow but if we fell in love we would pursue for sure.

Yay for more hunting today!

Breakfast

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie in a Bowl

Ingredients-  1/2 cup oats, 1 cup almond milk, frozen banana chunks, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 scoop of sunwarrior vanilla, 2 tbsp flaxseeds

Topped with bear naked granola and carob chips!

I was on a BERRY kick yesterday, it all started when I found something I was searching for at the store.

Godiva Dark Chocolate Raspberry coffee was found! I saw this new flavor in a email I got and knew it had to be a coffee to have in our house. Mike and I love berry flavored coffee’s as many know we had a strawberry shortcake coffee addiction last year, and bought SO many bags of that coffee. I hope we find it again this year!

Im drinking this coffee as Im typing my blog post, and I am oh so happy because it is so damn good! It tastes like a chocolate raspberry truffle! So good, if you see it I think you need it in your coffee mug  ;-)

Continuing on with the BERRY love yesterday, I made a post workout eat that involved chocolate and berries.

Strawberry Chocolate Protein Pita Pizza

Yup, it looks good and it was that good. I don’t know why I never tried this combo with my protein pita pizza but I am glad it popped into my little berry loving brain yesterday. Perfect post workout eat or breakfast too!

How to create your own?

I use a whole wheat pita, toast it up on a skillet until browned on both sides. Cut the pita into 4 triangles and put on a plate to prepare to be smothered with goodness.

Make protein frosting, spread the frosting on each piece of pita, top with strawberries. I used dried strawberries, but you could use fresh ones too!

Chocolate drizzle? I melted up some unsweetened carob chips and drizzled over the pita pizza, you could also use a chocolate syrup if you have one. The carob chips or chocolate chips if you use those, are easy to microwave up in a bowl, so if you have chocolate chips, do it that way!

Berry Damn Good Stuff in this post I would say  :mrgreen:

Im off to get some emails done, Insanity, and then house hunting this afternoon!

Katie xoxo

More Berry Love….

- A face mask that is berry good for your face, could be fabulous!

- Raspberry Bars that look so good! Someone make these  :-D

- Berry French Toast Bake for your next brunch perhaps?

My favorite “treat” at Godiva is the dark chocolate raspberry chocolixir. Have you ever had one? Oh. my . gosh. They’re so good! That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw the coffee you posted :)

That protein pita pizza looks delicious! :) Best of luck to you with the house hunting today! I hope everything is okay, dear! Just remember when things get hard, “this too shall pass.” I always try to remind myself of that when I’m feeling down. <3

Last night I made a Healthy Diva salad: spinach, veggies, veggie burger topped w/hummus…yum! I get so many ideas from you! My husband and I are also house hunting…do you pick the houses online and then look at them on your own? Or with a realtor?

So glad you had a diva style salad ; ) so good!

We look online yes, but we have a realtor too! We see houses online and set up appointments with her, she also keeps an eye out for anything new on the market that is something we would like! Good luck to you guys!

I know what you’re going through, love! a few weeks ago I had a period of mild insomnia where I would get really anxious at night and couldn’t sleep at all. I’ve actually started meditating before bed, and it worked wonders! Wishing you a restful night tonight :)

Love you!

Hmm I don’t think I’ve ever tried a coffee with berry flavour, but they don’t sell that strawberry shortcake coffee or the godiva ones anywhere I’ve seen (the perks of being Canadian, right?! haha). I’m intrigued though!

Have fun house hunting!!! As stressful as it can be, it truly is so much fun! :) We had ONE day to find a house because we were heading back to Cali and packing up to move to Utah. We looked at 6 houses, and each one got better and better, house number 6 was the one for us. We knew it the second we walked in! When you know, you know.

It’s ridiculous how excited I am for you on the house hunting issue! Maybe I’m living vicariously through you having bought a place in September of last year and now being out of the house hunting loop for a while, but I think more than anything I’m just so excited for you to find the place of your dreams!

36 Healthy Diva January 26, 2012 at 8:26 pm

I bet it was so exciting! Im so happy for you on your place : )

Thanks so much love!
