You guys know I love me some breakfast for dinner, so imagine my excitement last night when Jay suggested this amazing meal.
It. Was. SO. Good. We used our favorite Fluffy Pancake recipe; Jay had his with chocolate chips, I had mine plain and topped them with some banana slices and syrup.
While I worked on making the pancakes, Jay cooked up some turkey bacon in a skillet on the stovetop (aka, the key to great turkey bacon!) for us to have on the side.
Everything was incredibly delicious, and super filling. I was completely stuffed by the time I finished my plate, which is actually not normal for me. Usually I can polish off a plate of pancakes and then be ready for more right after. Weird.
So not only did last night include a fun dinner, but it also included a pretty fun shipment, which I’ve been waiting months for.
You know how I’ve been giving you all some teasers about the Love Grown Foods big new product reveal? Well, here it is…
Hot Oats!
The new hot oats come in four flavors:
Blueberry Banana Walnut
Strawberry Raspberry
Apple Cinnamon
And Peach Almond Vanilla, which was actually my breakfast this morning.
I added about half of a mashed banana and some extra blueberries in to mine, and it was suuuuper delicious.
I love how they all have simple ingredients,
and pretty decent nutrition facts, too.
Definitely a winner in my book – not only yummy, but quite convenient for my on-the-go breakfasts as of late. Way to go, Love Grown!

Time to get back to thre grind…Happy FRIDAY, everyone!! What’s good for the weekend?
Rumor has it we have plans on Saturday, and we have our double dinner date tonight, but other than that, I’m not too sure? I guess we’ll see where the weekend takes us…and hopefully it takes us to Sephora at some point. ;)
Michelle@Peachy Palate says
Such a great idea! It would make great overnight oats two! Is the granola gluten free as well? We don’t have any Love Grown here in Ireland…yet!!! Some day hopefully!
Courtney says
Yup!
Linz @ Itz Linz says
AH! So cool about the oats – I had a feeling that’s what it was going to be! I love adding Love Grown to my homemade oats as it is – now I won’t have to!
Angela @ Health's Angel says
Yum! The peach almond vanilla sounds especially good. I’m still waiting for Love Grown granola to be readily available in my area! I’ve never tried it. :(
Elizabeth@myneonrunningshoes says
Happy Friday to you too!
We have major housework and cleaning this weekend… fun, fun! Hopefully we’ll get a date night in too :-)
Kerry @ Totes My Oats says
Dying to try those oats! I’m sure all the flavors are delicious!
Lisa says
That is so awesome! I actually had a totally different guess at to what it would be! I think it’s great they are branching out this way! Especially for people on the go! I still haven’t tried the regular granola! I know, right?! They don’t sell it where I live! Happy Friday to you!
kim@hungryhealthygirl says
Yay…I love this new product for on-th-go! I also like Michelle’s idea for using it to make overnight oats.

The blueberry banana oatmeal looks beyond amazing. I’ve never had a Love Grown Foods product before, but they definitely seem to have some awesome stuff!
Kristen@Change of Pace says
I love the concept of healthy oats in a cup. I was actually telling my husband I would eat all prepackaged food because of the convenience if it was healthy for you.
