Snap Crackle Pop

Today I had one of my childhood favorites for breakfast!


When I went to the drugstore early this morning to buy toothpaste (I brush my teeth before I eat breakfast. I'm weird like that.), I spied a box of Rice Krispies on sale for only 88 cents. I couldn't resist! It paired perfectly with chocolate almond milk and a banana.


I ended up eating two big bowls of Krispies- the snap-crackle-pop is delicious, but they're about as filling as eating air

Later in the morning, I was in the mood to run. Rather than braving the chilly weather, I opted for a treadmill workout, completing 6 miles in just under fifty minutes. Not bad,for the first run since my half marathon!

Lunch was yet another deli purchase. (As convenient as it is, I'm excited to make my meals when I get home!) Colorful!


Peanut noodles with peppers.


Lentil salad in some kind of spicy glaze.


And sauteed broccolini.


Everything was good and quite filling, if a bit oily. I wish more restaurants would get the memo that delicious food does not necessitate a pool of oil! I had an apple to cleanse my palate as well.


Time to get crackin' on packin' (and studying). Happy Monday!

When was the last time you ate "kid" cereal? And do you brush your teeth before or after you eat breakfast?

I ate kid cereal last nite: Rice krispies in the form of vegan GF rice krispy bars!!! I have a serious obsession w/ them these days.

Your comment to me about drink prices..and where mike goes to school, they are more "normal" priced there..LOL

I brush my teeth ALL The time! I have to have clean teeth!

Pool of oil = the standard fare it seems. I like oil. But to the point where it feels like I have lip gloss, i.e. oil, all over my face...not so much :)

Dude I totalllly brush my teeth before breakfast! Always! and if I'm home I brush my teeth before dinner too. Is that weird?

Pixie said...

I brush after breakfast. I drink a lot of coffee prior to work, so I worry if I brush before my breath would have that stale coffee smell.

I love cereal for dinner. I typically eat it for breakfast and dinner at least once a week.

Rice Krispies are amazing, but you're right- they are so unfilling!
I always do my teeth after breakfast. I hate eating when my mouth is minty fresh! :P

It's so true that Rice Krispies are as filling as air! My favorite cereal when I was a kid was actually Cracklin' Oat Bran. It's so good!

I brush my teeth after breakfast, definitely. I usually start the day with coffee and coffee after toothpaste is gross. I like brushing my teeth after every meal.

YYAAYY! I brush my teeth before breakfast too! Apparently the toothpaste protects your teeth from sugars etc in food :D
I used to eat Weetabix and Rice Crispies as a kid, and sometimes Weetos and Coco Pops. Real healthy!!

I used to looooove Rice Krispies!!! Did you ever have the Rice Krispie treat cereal?! Omg. No words. Also loved Cocoa Krispies and Fruity Pebbles!

I brush before breakfast!! And I hate the oil thing too...I can't even order a simple stir fry without it upsetting my stomach!

Katie ♥ said...

I had lucky cahrms saturday nite! I love rice krispies too! I especially love rice krispie treats!!

Susan said...

The cereal I ate as a kid was shredded wheat or cheerios, and I still eat them all the time!

I brush my teeth after breakfast, if not both times!

Kayla said...

Ooh, I haven't had rice crispies in forever! I was a picky child and never ate cereal with milk! It always had to be without milk and I only ate Froot Loops!

Krystina said...

I had cinnamon toast crunch last weekend for the first time in...years, and it was glorious.

Rice Krispies are awesome, especially the snap crackle pop sounds.I ALWAYS brush before breakfast. Why would anyone want to ingest a mouthful of overnight bacteria first thing in the morning?

Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg said...

Matt said...

I brush after breakfast ;)

Chelsea said...

I brush before breakfast without toothpaste (because I do not want to taste mint when eating my oats!) and then after breakfast with toothpaste.

I had Mini Wheats as a night time snack when I visited home a few weekends ago. I LOVE that cereal!
