Breakfast Banana Split

February 28, 2011 by Julie 87 Comments

Okay, so no ice cream is involved. No hot fudge either. Or whipped cream. But doesn’t this kind of look like a banana split… breakfast style?

Breakfast Banana Split

Just agree, please. Don’t take this away from me! 😉

Git in Mah Belly!

I was quite a fan of this little creation and was surprised at just how filling the meal turned out to be.

In the mix:

  • 1 banana, sliced lengthwise
  • Chobani vanilla Greek yogurt
  • Freshly sliced strawberries
  • Sweet potato puffs cereal
  • Chia seeds

Another Split Pic

Fruit + Yog + Seeds + Cereal

I already have a bazillion different ideas about combinations to try to create various breakfast banana splits. I’m thinkin’ candied nuts, pumpkin, cottage cheese, oats… the possibilities are endless. Aren’t you pumped!? 😀

Workout

I enjoyed my breakfast after an early morning workout and a walk around the lake with Sadie.

My workout today included a BodyPump class (holy squat track!), followed by 20 minutes of light cardio on the elliptical. I spent my time on the elliptical watching recaps of the Academy Awards since I only watched some of the pre-show last night just to get a glimpse of the pretty dresses.

My favorites dresses included those worn by Mila Kunis:

Scarlett Johansson:

And Halle Berry:

I thought all of their dresses looked feminine and gorgeous, especially Mila Kunis’ gown. So, so whimsical and pretty.

Question of the Morning

  • Did you watch the Academy Awards? Who do you think was the “best dressed” of the evening?

    I don’t have a tv, but I’m trying to catch up this morning online via blogs and eonline.com. 🙂 I love Mila and Halle’s dresses! ScarJo, not so much. 😉

    Reese Witherspoon was up stunning to me. Natalie Portman was rocking her soon-to-be-mother glow too.

    I loved Mila’s!!! But heard a lot of people didn’t. Oh well, I think she rocked it!!

    But what was up with Scar Jo’s hair? It looked like she rolled out of bed with it.

    And I agree with Stacie, Natalie Portman looked amazing!!

    My vote for Best Dressed goes to Gwyneth Paltrow. Loved her sexy, shimmery dress and her sleek, straight hair. Stunning!

    Yes! I agree. I LOVED Mila Kunis’s dress the best. Such a pretty color, too. Although, I was not a fan of Scarlett. She looked like a doiley.

    Camila Alves, wife of Matthew McConaughey, looked STUNNING in a plunging neckline black number, and Reese was classic Hollywood, all the way!

    I thought Mila Kunis looked stunning — LOVE the color of that dress (you don’t really see many lavendar dresses out there). Though Anne Hathaway was gorgeous as well, I feel like I’ve seen that look on her before.

    I had breakfast banana splits on Saturday morning! Check out my blog for pictures! I had never heard of them and my sister wanted to make them… I’m hooked! SO yum and fun to make! I got carried away with toppings and put nuttella and went all out! LOVE IT!

    I think Mila Kunis and Halle Berry both look amazing…not many times I can say that Halle doesn’t look amazing though. Reese looked adorable as always too.
    Was not feeling Scarlett’s look at all…didn’t think the dress flattered her and her hair just looked, sorry to say, dirty to me!

    I think Mila looked fantastic.

    On a side note to breakfast– I tried your bagel thin, jam (I had blackberry) and cheese (provolone) sandwich today and YUM. I was seriously doubting you, but I’m spreading the word. I will be trying the egg combo next. So thanks 🙂

    I liked Mila’s dress and Reese Witherspoon’s, but I have to say I was kind of disappointed that I didn’t absolutely adore anyone’s. Usually there are one or two that I’d pretty much die to wear, but of the big contenders no one had one like that this year!

    I watched about 2/3 of the show last night, and I would have to say that Mila was rockin’ it in her dress. It was so pretty and looked great with her skin tone.

    I loved Hailee Steinfeld’s dress. She looked so age appropriate and really pretty.

    Halle was sexy and chic as usual–loved it.

    Camila Alves looked stunning!

    Jennifer Hudson looked really good, but her wig was really stiff–didn’t like that.

    Reese Witherspoon almost looked good, but what was up with that cheap pony-tail weave? It looked uber ghetto.

    I loved the color of milas dress but when she was presenting an award the tie around her waist was very unflattering! I thought Reese n Halle (I’m pretending were friends with first name basis talk) looked the best!
