The goal this morning was my 6 AM Power Latte yoga class, but after 3 hours of Lost last night, I didn’t even bother to set the alarm. I slept in until 7:15, and it was glorious. Lots to do today, but I wanted to share my breakfast with you first…
So, I’ve done green:
Spinach oat bran with almond walnut butter.
I’ve done purple:
Purple cauliflower oat bran with almond butter.
Today it was pink:
Pretty In Pink
I made my chia oat bran and taking one of my reader’s advice (Hey Barbara!), I blended in 1/2 cup cooked beets. I love the sweet taste of beets, and I thought they would be a great addition to my morning oats. However, this tasted too veggie-like for me. Loved the color, but I think I’ll stick to my green and purple oats in the future.
OK, much to do and hoping to fit in a 60 minute yoga class before work this afternoon. Happy Thursday my friends!
Chris left for work just as I sat down to my bowl of pink oats…
CD’s Random Comment of the Day:
Heather Pie, I would kiss you good-bye, but I really don’t want to get that close to your breakfast. No worries, I blew him a little kiss. 
{ 46 comments… read them below or add one }
haha once again another winner of a comment by CD
love the color of that oat bran! I think I need to spice up my oat bran…I’ve just been eating it plain with an egg white and texas pete! so simple yet so good.
Is there anything you won’t put in oats?
I love green the most, too sweet peach!
Hope you have fun at yoga today, can’t wait to hear!
I was doing yoga all morning… 2 classes back to back of teaching and my noodle bod was SO EXCITED to finally dig into my own bowl of GREEN yum. 
We will for sure chat LOST soon… hugs and smooshy oatbran love, P
sorry it didn’t taste the best, but the color is beautiful!
wasn’t LOST nutso? I loved it.
Colorful! Love the pink.
I’m with Chris haha.
I love the color of your oats! You are so adventurous…
Your breakfasts always look so pretty!
Wasn’t Lost awesome last night?!
what a beautiful pink color!
hahah CD cracks me up again
The oats are very very pretty! Bummer that they weren’t so yummy! Good luck with all your to dos! Lost was AWESOME- btw! I don’t want to wait until next season
Hebs, have you done the carrot oatbran yet? Like a carrot puree? Or Corn? I bet corn would be SO yummy! OoooOoOoooo or do yellow beet? I love living vicariously through you… I’m always like, DAMN… Badass B)
Your teff is still here- Ugh I’m annoying. I’m sorry!! It will be sent as soon as I get the chizzie.
Hey Heather! I’ve read your blog a couple of times, but I think I’m going to have to add you to my blogroll so I can see what you post more consistently!
My puppy loves carrots too. I think her favorite thing might be apples though. I’m going to have to try those chia seeds out! Anything to sneak in some extra protein.
You are so creative! What will you think of next! They are pretty even though they did not taste good
At first I thought you added strawberries!
I don’t even thing Gracie would eat that…and the girl LOVES pink! You amaze me with your creations. I think if I took one bite and wasn’t loving it, to the garbage disposal it would go!
Hope your busy day goes by fast!
even if they didn’t taste amazing at least they looked good doing it. your CD comments always crack me up. have you done orange oats yet? like with carrots?
Sorry it didn’t taste so great, but I give you mad props for creativity! At least it was a pretty color
Pink is my favorite color but I’m afraid I’d have to pass on the breakfast – I’m not much of a beet fan, sorry you weren’t a fan of the taste! It’s a gorgeous bowl though!! You’re so creative!
i’ve never tried beets. my mom didnt’ like them so I figured i wouldn’t… what are they like?
ahhhh i missed lost, i am getting ready to watch it now! the suspense KILLS!
i love your purdy blends, but beets are not my thing. so i stay stick with the others
i think you should try for something golden next!! i would love to eat something blendy and gold 
CD- you never fail me in the hilar. department
Beets? EW! I dont like beets!
Beets and oats?? Your braver than I!!!
~Justine
I tried green oats this morning with brocoflower and spinach, it was amazing!!!!
you’re a genius!!!
I love the color! Too bad it didn’t taste that good
Beets is such a good idea. I only think they’re “okay” but I bet their sweetness would be really good with oats. How did you make them – canned or fresh? Did you boil or roast them? I like them roasted in salads.
That’s too bad the taste wasn’t up to par, because it looks sooo pretty! (I’m a secret fanatic for all things pink.) I wonder what colors are left to try.
You are so creative girl!!! LOVE the pink oats. Sorry about the taste though, blah.
Haha… doesn’t sound too delicious. I have done strawberry shortcake oats with coconut butter, shredded coconut, cashew butter and frozen strawberries.. YUM!!! Sometimes I even add in some dates. Try that one friend = )
The pink sure does look pretty though!
Beets! You’ve done it all.
Well, almost??
How about carrot! ha!
The pink oats are so pretty, but I really don’t like beets. I guess CD was a little afraid of them, too.
Hooray for sleeping in. I love it when I can, and it’s definitely worth it!
Hope today was productive!
i think i like the pink the best!
that may quite possibly be the prettiest bowl ever
Sorry the beets didn’t work out in oats, but try them in hummus! I love the bright pink it turns and it’s delicious. I love beets.
I think I’ll have to jump on the Heather+Polly train of green oats for breakfast one morning. Maybe tomorrow?
Pretty in pink! I’m sorry that it didn’t taste oh so good..but at least it was a gorgeous way to start yo day!
Heather,
Pink is the best color ever. Period.
But maybe tomorrow you should make BLUE oats? With blueberries.
Or you could try orange cauliflower and make orange.
I’m getting visions of a whole rainbow of oat bran concoctions…
Don’t forget to relax! Tomorrow is FRIDAY!
With Love,
Emily
I love how creative you are with oats! They are so fun to play around with! And what a hilarious comment of the day. Enjoy your yoga class!
I love oats. I love the color pink. But I don’t think I could stomach and oats/beets combo. It is pretty though! I don’t think I could be quite as adventuresome with my breakfast as you are.
aw, bummer. too bad the beets werent as tasty bc they certainly look puuurty.
all these heather pie comments by cd are the best. im starting to think he and kyle are long lost brothers, haha. sure, he loves me, but he definitely give my food the stink eye sometimes!!
Ha, I was going to guess beets!!! The color is beautiful.
Interesting breakfast!
I love your colorful oats. CD’S comment was really cute today.
<3 jess
xoxo
beets? haha
love your bowls heather!!
Love your multi-colored oat bran! I actually did a “taste the rainbow” challenge with my oatmeal a few months ago–it’s amazing what colors you can create with just a handful of berries/veggies!
Your breakfasts always look so beautiful!
I’ve never had beets, either! (What’s wrong with me?)
They scare me for some reason. But they make for some purty oats!
Yikes, I think I’d be scared of beets in oatmeal. But it looks awesome!
