Since the other (lovely) people I live with (and share groceries with) do not share my constant longing for my favorite fruit, it’s been, like….a day. Or two. Since I’ve had a banana. Just to clarify.
Moving on!
Since the semester has started, I’ve been really good at sticking to morning workouts. Some of my roommates are more like this in the early hours:
(He refuses to get over his jetlag)
But I’ve been hitting the weight room by 7 AM each morning and loving it! I walk 5 minutes to the gym inappropriate yet inspiring tunes (ahem, Enrique), crank out either rugby weights or cardio, and then I’m ready to shower and get on with my day. It always feels great! This morning, I was perusing a US Weekly mag (if I say “perusing” does it sound more forgiveable?) and inspiration struck me, in the form of an orange juice ad. Chocolate orange oatmeal, mayhaps?
No oranges, but we had clementines.
And I unearthed my chocolate protein powder from the depths of storage yesterday!
1/3 cup oats, 2 clementines, protein powder
+ coconut!
Like a chocolate orange, in breakfast form π
And with that, I left for class ready for the day and rockin’ some cool, custom-designed kicks:
Orange you glad? I am.
Have wonderful Wednesdays!
Question: Do you have love for clementines? I find that most seem to love them, but I’m not a fan! I’d prefer a banana anyday π

What an interesting combo—well, not really. Oranges and chocolate go together all the time! I just wouldn’t have thought of that specific way to put them together. Looks great!
Also, I love that you’re gung ho about the gym in the morning—I bet you feel tons better overall than your jet lagged roommate!

I only really eat clementines at Christmas because at other times the Florida girl in me would just rather enjoy a big, juicy orange.
Sorry about the banana drought!! It’s a good thing naners aren’t too expensive – I’d buy myself an emergency stash π

I love clementines but I’ve never tried them in oatmeal. Interesting!! I’d love to give this a shot. Bananas are my first love too though :).

The combo of chocolate and orange tastes like a tootsie roll to me! π

I looooove clementines. My dad went to Costco for a few days ago and didn’t get any… unforgivable!

i’m about to finish off my box of clementines today-took me a while but in the winter time, they’re so refreshing!

I love clementines when they are good. Sometimes if you get a bad batch they are AWFUL!!
