ReplyDeleteThe best thing I had this week was fresh pineapple--so good!

I haven't had them in a while, but I think chocolate pudding cups are my absolute favorite bedtime snack :)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so yummy, and I hope all is well!
I have been known to use smoothies as milk in cereal which is good. Or I put them over fruit.
ReplyDeletebest thing this week? New PB I got- crunchy, organic and delicious.
I always top my smoothies with cereal...I love the added crunch! Puffins are my favorite because they don't get soggy!
ReplyDeleteI love me some yogurt & chocolate before bed... I always pimp my plain yogurt so there are eeeendless possibilities & I never get bored! <3
ReplyDeleteThat smoothie looks yum! In Germany do they sell lint 99% chocolate?!
ReplyDeletechocolate granola sounds really great! as well as pairing fruit, pb, and chocolate. yum! i'm all about a good, healthy snack (and sometimes not so healthy!)
ReplyDeletesnacks are my fave! I know how that goes with hardcore test studying too. Everything looks delicious though, especially all your baked goods! :-)
ReplyDeleteI had apple and nut butter yesterday! Love some PB on rice cakes!
ReplyDeleteHee, hee. I just like the sound of "Lord Poppington's"!
ReplyDeleteeverything looks delicious! i've done granola on smoothies a few times, but i usually stick to granola in milk (with rolled oats or bran cereal), so granola is the main event. :p
ReplyDeletemy favorite breakfast this week was cold oats, with vanilla yogurt and milk, blueberries, and chia seeds. kind of like your yogurt mess, but more yogurt. the chia seeds make it thick like pudding, it's amazing.
Oh my goodness, that shot of blueberries is the most gorgeous thing EVER!! Good to know I've not been the only snack monster around here lately...definitely looking forward to getting back to a routine with my meals after a long weekend!
ReplyDeletePeaches are just coming into season here so I've been playing around with them a bit...the other night I spread almond butter on a slice of cinnamon raisin toast and topped it with fresh peach slices and oh.my.word! Soooooo good!
I always make my smoothies thick enough to eat with a spoon and I ALWAYS top them with a little crunch! I've become a bit obsessed with granola recently, so the more smoothies I make, the more granola I get to buy! Lol
Best thing I've eaten all week? Handfuls of roasted soy beans mixed with dried blueberries...the perfect balance of sweet and salty!
Your yogurt messes always look so delicious. And I've recently discovered the amazingness that is blueberries (frozen!) in yogurt. So. Good.
ReplyDeleteMmm! Looks good!
ReplyDeleteI've been super snacky lately too--I think when it's warmer, my body is wanting more snacks as opposed to meals!
Your WIAW always make me drool, professional chef must be in your calling.
ReplyDeleteHope your exams are going well! Your snacks look delicious. I also tend to snack throughout the day when I'm studying since I get bored otherwise. Good luck with the rest of your exams :)
ReplyDeleteSo many of my favorite things! Berries, pretzels, peanut butter, chocolate... YUM!
ReplyDeleteMmmm caaaaaake! :D
ReplyDeleteLol anyway, I have never tried topping my smoothies with granola but will have to give it a shot next time!
Pretzels are my favorite food...that one looks AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI love a smoothie topped with a little crunch :)
ReplyDeletethat bowl of blueberries looks soooooo good! And I LOVE dark chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI love blueberry season! And your yogurt/granola looks AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite bed time snack is a banana topped with some kind of nut butter and glass of milk! Hits the spot every time! :)
ReplyDeleteHope every thing is going okay Shannon!
as always, this post gives me such great ideas for meals and snacks ; )
ReplyDeletei hope everything is going well for you. you are in my thoughts ; )
Everything looks so good!
ReplyDeletethose cake and brownies look so moist and chewy!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better :)
Everything looks delicious, Shannon! I'm a snacker at heart, and typically munch my way through the day. I've been trying to stick to six mini meals lately though, because I find that I feel more satisfied afterwards. But the urge to snack is ALWAYS there! (I'd LOVE that four cheese popcorn!).
ReplyDeleteMy favorite before-bed snack is whipped cottage cheese (blended until completely creamy, like yogurt/pudding), then topped with peanut butter, granola and flax. It's just SO gosh darn delicious. Oh, and the cottage cheese is sweetened with vanilla stevia, which makes it taste like cheesecake. :)
Good luck finishing up with school! I'm in the middle of summer session right now, and think that my work load is the heaviest it has ever been. Uggh.
Hang in there, girl. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers! <3 xoxo
sieht alles sehr lecker aus, wie immer :)

I've been so snacky lately too! Can't wait for the protein bun recipe :)
ReplyDeleteI am always snacky, haha!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your eats though! Meals are overrated ;)
i like that you incorporated a lot of dessert into your meals :)
ReplyDeleteMmmm, all of that looks sooo good. A lot of my meals are very snacky...and unmeal like too. So much better that way, right?
ReplyDeleteI am a huge snacker my friend - now it looks like you have got me in the mood for some blueberries :D

:-) Jennifer
those look like great snacks! now I'm craving blueberries!
ReplyDeleteThis could have been a day of my eats lol :p Everything looks great :)
ReplyDeleteFor late night snacks I always go with a yogurt/cottage cheese/ silken tofu/ pumpkin mixture; I don't really measure but sometimes I add cocoa powder, strawberries and something to sweeten (pudding mix or jams or stevia) and then I top it with Berries cereal and sometimes a cookie or brownie(:
