Thursday morning used to be an easy morning to get up and out the door for a run or a gym circuit before arriving at work. Recently, my work schedule has changed and it is totally rocking my workout schedule, which I hate!
I knew I wouldn’t have a lot of time Thursday morning for a workout and didn’t want to waste time with transit. As I was contemplating what to do (outside running was out with a windchill below zero), I remembered doing an awesome and quick home workout at the end of last year. I looked it up the night before so when I woke up, I could get right to work, no time for excuses. The workout was much harder than I remembered and by the 3rd round (7 reps each), I was sweaty and out of breath. I wish I had my HRM because I was curious to see how fast my heart was beating.
After the workout, I concluded with a 2:00 minute plank before hopping in the shower and devouring my breakfast. Best home workout EVER! I’m still sore today!
For breakfast this week, I have been living on this Chia Seed Breakfast Bowl. I totally could have made the double batch because I ate it again this morning. I changed up the recipe a bit and topped it with blueberries and almond butter.
And let me tell you…
This is one incredible tasting breakfast. The best part is that after eating this at 7am, I was able to make it all the way to lunch at noon without a snack. That never happens!
Has anyone tried the chia bowl? What do you think?

Luv What You Do 
YUM! you always have the best breakfast ideas.. I’ve officially become obsessed with the hot flax cereal so I am definitely going to try this one 🙂 DELISH.
You will love it! The banana makes it super sweet!
I am a big fan of breakfast and am so happy that you are enjoying the recipes I find. Happy Weekend!
I’m so in love with my protein oatbran that even when I see other things that look delicious, I always cave in and make my usual. It’s just too good. I cook oatbran with egg whites, chia seeds and cinnamon, then I add either a banana or blueberries, and top with almond butter. I am intrigued though . . . maybe I’ll make a mini version for a snack one day and see how it goes. 🙂
I saw that on your blog and I want to try it. Do you cook it over the stove? Is there a link to the recipe?
I’ve been meaning to switch up my breakfast, and this’ll be a great start! Love chia and love banana!
This is my new fave! I always like to switch up my brekkies too and anything that can fuel me through the morning is a keeper!

Windchill below 0? Holy smokes! Your workout is making me want to workout again! Yes, I have tried the chia bowl!! I add plain Greek yogurt to it too along with raisins and a sprinkling of mini chocolate chips! It’s the best breakfast and I miss it when I can’t have it, because I can never find something with as much staying power!
That’s a great idea to add Greek Yogurt. I’m so happy to hear that I’m not the only one obsessing over this breakfast!
