After a jam-packed day of zip lining, black bear-spotting and theatre-going yesterday, today was a day of rest!
It began with a lazy breakfast that included a strawberry banana smoothie, a cup of coffee and a small bowl of Honey Nut Chex cereal for some crunch on the side.
My smoothie contained:
- 1 1/2 frozen bananas
- 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup strawberry banana Greek yogurt
Breakfast fueled a morning spent out and about!
First, we went to a new-to-us church which we really enjoyed. The pastor was charismatic and the message was a good one.
On our way home from church, we swung by the grocery store and were completely coerced into buying everything we needed for homemade pizza when one of their displays had all of the ingredients conveniently laid out in front of us. Apparently we were a marketers dream today!
Publix makes some fantastic pizza dough and we used the multigrain dough to make pepperoni pizza when we arrived home.
The rest of the day was spent around the house, laying outside in the sun, playing with Sadie, reading The Scorch Trials and truly enjoying a day of rest.
I love lazy Sundays!
Off to do a little more reading and lounging. Hope you’re enjoying the weekend!
I stinkin’ love Chex cereal. Sorry I’m not sorry. #eatiterrday
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn

Cait
i managed to get a workout in, but other than that today was definitely lazy! pancakes, a short nap, football… not looking forward to tomorrow
Mallory @ Have your cake And Eat It
it’s a true day of rest over here too… when we got home from church and lunch, my husband and i immediately put on our pajama pants and hoodies. we’ve been lounging and being lazy ever since. just what we have needed after a crazy week!!
Ashley @ My Food ‘N’ Fitness Diaries
Same over here. I plan on being nice and lazy for the rest of the day….though I do need to get some minor cleaning done.
Lena @Fit on the Rocks
i’m having a true day of rest myself! i haven’t had one of those in awhile
erica
I like lazy Sundays too…mine have been feeling super busy as of lately though. I need to start being more productive on Saturdays so I can have more lazy Sundays!
Amanda @ Let Me Be What’s Underneath
I love Publix pizza crust. It’s a great go-to option.
Jessica @ Sushi and Sit-Ups
Oh boy, that pizza looks incredible! I haven’t had pepperoni pizza in forever. Might need to add that to the menu this week! Enjoy your Sunday!
Julie
Lazy Sundays truly are the best, especially after all of the excitement you all have had! Enjoy the remainder of your weekend!
Stephanie @ Ultra Ambitious
Sounds like the perfect day! I understand the church shopping – Daniel and I left the church where we both grew up (and where we got married) to find a place where we felt led to be. We have recently found one that we think is it! I’m so glad you enjoyed the one you visited this morning.
Natalie @ southern fit foodie
We had a lazy Sunday too – it was so nice after a busy week. I love honey nut chex, but the words “small Bowl” aren’t in my vocabulary. I have to eat at least half the box in one sitting. It’s so dumb. That’s why I try not to buy them!
Heather @ Run Eat Play
I love lazy Sundays! Sometimes they are so so necessary!
Your smoothie looks delicious! I’m so glad you’re back to making them!
I love making homemade pizzas with the frozen dough..yum! You should try making naan bread pizzas! They are super easy and delicious!
Anna @ Food Fitness Frolicking
Your pizza looks delicious!! I LOVE Publix displays. I feel I am a marketers’ dream every time I walk in there! Why, of course I will sample your delicious Apron Meals, Publix! (: I had Chex today too! Twinsies!
Haley @ Fit, Young, and Fabulous
Ah, restfull Sundays… something that only exists for me during the summer!
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake
Yumm!! I don’t really like honey nut cheerios, so when I tried the honey nut chex I couldn’t believe how delicious they are! Those are one of the cereals that I can’t keep at home very often because I can finish the box within a couple days
Michelle (Better with Berries)
Sounds similar to our day! Lazy morning, church, and more laying around. I even made a slow-cooker dinner so that I wouldn’t have to spend much time making dinner!
Have a good night!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated
I LOVE lazy Sundays like that!! (And I totally love Chex. Ha, ha).
Nicole
I knew you must have been at publix when you mentioned they have all the pizza ingredients together. I love their dough and use it every week or two for homemade pizza.
Katie
I love lazy Sundays! Mine was far from lazy and consisted of like 3hrs of paintball haha. So much fun though!
chelsea
I love a true rest day–so perfect!
I just made pizza –from a SUPER easy, fast pizza dough recipe. Go to my blog for the recipe if you want to try it–so delicious!
Have a nice night!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife
Its been too cold in nj to enjoy any smoothies to often! Saturday was super warm randomly and I was very happy to enjoy a good strawberry smoothie
mmmmmmm
Sarah
Congrats on your true day of rest! Sometimes it can be hard to unwind and REALLY take that down time. This weekend was supposed to be my rest weekend after a week of Bodyrock challenges, but I did a ton of walking all weekend, did some archery yesterday and went rock climbing today. Not to sad it’s all bad, but sometimes your body just needs rest!
Bee Goes Bananas
I always get publix pizza dough. It’s soo good! I look forward to my rest days after a long week of hard workouts
Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile
Mmmmmm pepperoni!
Janine @ThePurpleGiraffe
Sometimes resting days are the best days! I too tried a new church with my husband this morning and went grocery shipping. Not sure if you have an iPhone, but I used a grocery shopping app that was awesome! It’s called Shopping List Free and I highly recommend it!
Jana @ Newly Wife Healthy Life
That pizza crust sounds great! I think I’ll take a trip to Publix tomorrow to try it out!
Kerry
Sounds like a sweet day Julie~I’m so happy for you guys that you were blessed at the church! And whoaaaaa that smoothie cup is seriously the most ginormous ever! hahaha.
Ellie@Fit for the soul
ooo that smoothie looks delicious!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats
Gotta love the strawberry smoothies.
Lauren @ Chocolate, Cheese and Wine
I thought the smoothie looked good…but now my mouth is watering just looking at that pizza. Tempting! And healthy with the multigrain.
Cheryl
Love days of rest. We try to make homemade pizzas on Sunday too. It ends up usually tasting better than ordering in b/c we change up the cheeses and toppings.
Emily @LivingLongfellow
I’m trying to figure out how your belly fit the weight of a SMOOTHIE, COFFEE, AND CEREAL.
Keri
Sounds like a great day! Do you think you guys will stick with this church?
Khushboo
I just discovered honey nut chex! So good!
Hillary
Dang that smoothie’s the size of your head! haha
Lea
I have been having lazy Saturdays as of late and a busy Sunday. I think one lazy day per weekend is 100% needed!
Kelly
I might just have to get that pizza dough today!
Sneakers2Sandals
Saturday and Sunday were both lazy days around our house- I felt like all I did was eat, sit on the couch, and play with the new pup
It was def not the most active weekend, but it was fun!
Allison
This post made me want pizza so bad! lol
Brittany *Sparkles*
A marketer’s dream, lol. Have you read the book Brandwashed? It talks about all of the tricks that marketer’s use.
Amber K
Laying outside in the sun!!! aaahh, I’m jealous
Elise
I must admit. When my rest days come along, I do make the most of it! Lounging around and not really getting out of my PJ’s are usually how the day goes
Jenn @ Lotus and Pie
I was wondering how you freeze your bananas, inside the peel or out? And what do you keep them in. Thanks Julie
Christina M
outside of the peel!
