I'm not sure when it was, or what made me re-try the nut butter, but I am SO glad I did! Now, I can't get enough of nut butters of any sort- especially peanut butter! I love it best in it's classic, raw form- just the peanuts, nothin' else. But I also love peanut butter flavored treats, and my newest obsession- peanut butter granola!
This morning I woke up after a nice rest and fueled my run with 1/2 a chocolate chip peanut crunch clif bar, and went for a 45 minute run on the track. When I got back for breakfast, I was excited to try my new Nature's Path peanut butter granola- and it did not disappoint! It really does have the classic peanut-buttery taste, and the little peanut pieces in there made it especially delicious. I had 3/4 cup of this along with 1 cup vanilla soy yogurt and almost 1 cup of these HUGE organic bluberries I found! They were expensive, but they looked so delicious I couldn't pass them up. They were perfect in my parfait!
The soy yogurt made this bowl extra creamy... Mmmmm!
After such a busy weekend, I feel like it's going to be a little hard getting back into the swing of things this week- for some reason I don't feel like it's Monday! Odd! Hopefully that won't affect my schedule- It's my long day, so my lunch/snack/dinner post will most likely be a bit later than usual. MAYBE my professor will let us out early- that would be great because it's looking like its going to be a beautiful day out! I wouldn't want to miss out =)
Have a wonderful start to your weeks, everyone!

Haha, I've ALWAYS loved peanut butter - but actually, nowadays, I'm OBSESSED with hazelnut-butter, cashew-butter, and almond-butter (but especially hazelnut-butter - I think I have an addiction, haha!). So glad that you like p.b. now!! Keep buying it :0D
Yeah, it's definitely hard trying to get back into the swing of things - hope your Monday still goes well though!
I would probably marry peanut butter if could :) haha. Good luck with your Monday!
mm your breakfast looks awesome! How do you like the soy yogurt? I love regular yogurt and soy ice cream but have yet to try soy yogurt...
I hope you get out early... oh, i didnt like PB as a child either but I loooove it as an adult (and until I lived in Europe I never appreciated how great american PB is!)
I am so jealous of your blueberries!
Veggiegirl,
I just bought almond butter again- I love it! I have yet to try cashew or hazelnut butter, they sound delish!
Linds,
I like the soy yogurt! It has a slightly different taste than dairy yogurt, but you get used to it fast. The texture is pretty much the same, maybe a bit more "runny" but not too much. It works for me! I love it with granola or trail mix especially.
