  1. Almond butter, nectarines, guacamole…ummm basically all the deliciousness i can’t afford! I’m still big on the oat bran too! To answer your Q: I usually make oat bran with water and banana as usual, then stick it in the fridge while i get ready…take it out in like 20-30 minutes and stir in about a container serving of greek yog (and splenda shh) then i put granola or AB on top and its like this thick, gooey delicious breakfast that keeps me full for hours! Haha sorry for the instructional paragraph :D

  2. The farmer lied to you about the sweet potato??? Not cool at all – for shame!! Hahaha ;-)

    “AMAZING COMBINATION, let me tell you” – your best line (in the champagne mango segment) in this already-awesome video.

    I’m really into dulse more than EVER before, so I guess that’s my “latest” foodie obsession.

    Chat soon, my dear!!

  3. I love the deep voice you get when talking about something you love…I do that ALL THE TIME! haha

    My latest foodie obsession would be avocados, oatgurt, dulse, and avocado toast!

  4. Mmmm, those rice paper wrappers look amazing! My current food obsession is most definitely blueberry pancakes (I pretty much eat blueberries by the bucket load). I’ve been making these pancakes a ton and they are so good! A hot blueberry popping in your mouth=my idea of heaven.

  5. Love the video! You should definitely keep doing these for different seasons/months.

    I recieved my order of Artisana’s coconut butter(I also got chocolate!)recently and they are both amazing! The saturated fat is definitely worth it too :)

  6. Oats, cashew butter, veggie-ful egg white omelettes, cottage cheese, Dijon mustard on sandwiches, raw broccoli for some random reason… :)

    Too many excellent food choices!

  7. Oh yes, and you were correct on guessing that cinnamon roll yogurt. I think the Orange Creme is better than the Cinnamon Roll, but it was fun to try!

  8. [...] gotten more. They’re so vibrant and tasty! Unlike the white sweet potatoes that I mentioned here, these sweet potatoes contain just as much beta carotene as regular sweet potatoes, plus you get a [...]

  9. you are basically amazing! love your vids. the indian spiced oat bran scares me but intrigues me, is that possible? more videos please! you are good with the cam. oh and my latest obsession hmmmm just the usuals, greek yogurt and PB+apples, i eat them all on the regs.

  10. your video posts are so cute and amazing, just like you! This post is filled with amazing pics and beautiful eats per usual. My current obsession is late night smoothies! Ive been pulling a Caroline and been having a smoothie every single night. Its the easiest way to get in cals without making me feel super stuffed before bed time.

  11. almond makes everything better! Great breakfast girlie!
    MM that chocolate shake sounds fabulous! glad you have your laptop back!

  12. My latest obsessions are the usual suspects (I always think I discover things when people have been doing them forever). Right now there are a lot of these in my life–raw corn with anything, but especially mixed with cottage cheese, avocado with anything, Greek yogurt mixed with salsa on my salads, sweet potatoes with almond butter, Amy’s California burgers, 70% dark chocolate squares (and I don’t even like chocolate that much.) Hmmm…

  13. Argh! I crave spring rolls now! I am actually going to buy them today because when I saw those dipping sauces I was like must consume now.

    Lately I’ve been loving fresh peaches, kale from my mom’s garden, almond butter, and Greek yogurt. And shrimp!

    Has anyone ever told you you resemble Scarlett Johanssen? Or is that just me?

  14. LOVE the video!!! You sold me on the coconut butter. I’m going to try and get my hands on some ASAP. Aside from hummus, yogurts and almost any type of nut butter, my latest foodie obsession is probably smoothies. For a long time, I had one daily, but I’ve been on a hiatus for a while because I ran out of ideas. Reading your blog has sparked a renewed interest and given me a lot of new ideas so thanks!

  15. most gorgeous fooddddddd. comon broccoli hot. you’re embarrassing me!

    just kidding!! I ADORE IT. This video was hottt too!! I haven’t tried so many of those foods!!

  16. SALADELIA REFERENCE!!!!! <3 your videos are adorable :)

  17. [...] this lovely concoction. Can you believe this was my first time to try wheatberries? I foresee a new foodie obsession in the [...]
