A Kath-Inspired Breakfast

First, Happy Birthday to MegaNerd!

  

Today’s breakfast was inspired by one of my favorite bloggers, Kath. I made her Whipped Banana Oats for breakfast, topped with two new amazing products. And coincidentally, one of them just went into her OpenSky store today!

I present to you, Tropical Chocolate Oats.

In the mix:
  • 1/3 c. oats
  • 1/3 c. almond milk
  • 1/3 c. water
  • 1/2 banana
  • Topped with: Dark Chocolate covered Pomegranate Seeds AND Cacao Bliss!

Artisana was kind enough to send me samples of seven of their products. Aren’t the tiny little jars adorable?

Since I have been eyeing Cacao Bliss for months at the grocery store, it was the first cute jar I broke into.

  

Friends, this stuff is GOOD. Like a tropical frosting. It is creamy, airy and fluffy, kind of like a whipped frosting, and has a great balance of coconut and chocolate flavors. I know, jars are expensive. It is why I haven’t bought any Cacao Bliss in the four months I have been eyeing it at the grocery store… what if I made the investment and didn’t like it? But seriously, this stuff is worth it. Amazing.

Added bonus: Cacao Bliss is organic, kosher, and vegan.

I will be reviewing the other 6 samples from Artisana as I try them, but I have a feeling they will all be good!

You can find Cacao Bliss at select grocery stores, or in Kath’s Open Sky store!

In other news… Will you be in Orlanda, FL on March 6?

If you are, join me and some of your other favorite bloggers for lunch at Pizza Fusion at noon. Several of us will be in town for the Disney Princess Half Marathon, so we are meeting with a group of Floridian bloggers. It will be a blast!

If you’re interested in meeting up with all of us, check out the Google spreadsheet that Megan set up in order to get a head-count for our reservation, and add your name!

Thanks Lindsey for suggesting Pizza Fusion!

The Artisana products look so good, I’ve been on a real coconut oil kick lately so this cacao bliss sounds right up my alley!

Yeah, I’ve been eyeing the cacao bliss every time I’m at the store too. Maybe it will be a splurge next week :)

the artisana products always look so good! i cant justify spending 10 bucks on a full jar so a tiny one would be perfect.
