Flax Hot Cereal and a Giveaway

December 16, 2009 by Julie 24 Comments

Good morning!

Today started off on a good note with a good workout at the gym. After doing 25 minutes of cardio (10 min. stair master, 15 min. elliptical), today’s total-body workout looked like this:

15 reps, 3 sets each:

  • Leg extensions
  • Step ups
  • Shoulder raises
  • Bicep curls
  • Deadlifts
  • Side bends
  • Tricep dips
  • Hamstring exercise ball curls
  • Ab work

For the first time this week my morning walk with Sadie was fog-free!

Breakfast

Today’s breakfast was delicious!

Wednesday's Breakfast

I enjoyed a bowl of Flax Z Snax vanilla almond hot cereal topped with Emerald cocoa roast almonds.

Flax Z Snax Hot Cereal

I filled my tumbler with free Barnie’s coffee from my gym. I am obsessed with the seasonal flavor Santa’s White Christmas.

According to Barnie’s:

“Our #1 seller combines Barnie’s® Blend coffee with the flavors of coconut, nuts, sweet caramel and vanilla.”

Coconut, vanilla, nuts and caramel? No wonder I like it so much!

Pop Secret Popcorn and Emerald Almonds Giveaway

Hooray for another giveaway!

Giveaway Goodies

One winner will receive:

  • 3 packs of 100 calorie Pop Secret Homestyle Popcorn
  • 3 packs of 100 calorie Pop Secret Kettle Corn Popcorn
  • 3 packs of 100 calorie Pop Secret Butter Popcorn
  • One box of Emerald 100 calorie packs of natural almonds

100 calorie snacks are fantastic for portion control and portability.

Did you know research suggests that eating a handful of almonds daily can help fight abdominal fat and protect you from heart disease? Sounds good to me!

To enter this giveaway, simply comment on this post telling me about your favorite recipe or food featuring nuts.

My favorite nutty treat would have to be oatmeal walnut chocolate chip cookies or a hot fudge sundae topped with candied pecans. Healthy, no? 😉

I will announce the winner tomorrow morning using Random.org’s random integer generator.

Don’t forget to submit your recipe featuring nutmeg for this weeks Blogger Secret Ingredient competition. 🙂 You have until Sunday night to enter. Please email me at pbfingers@gmail.com with your entry!

    PS. I LOVE the 100 calorie bag of popcorn. Portion Control! Because we all know how addictive popcorn can get.

    Also, have you tried the cocoa roasted almonds by emeralds? SOOOO good!
