Monday Mayhem

**STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW!!!**


unless it's reading this post... in that case, continue.




Best quick instant "pick-me-up" I have just discovered...




Formula at the top, complements of my genius math major brain.

This weekend Mike & I went shopping at Costco.


I love walking into Costco with Mike because he gets to flash his "Executive Member" card and it makes me feel fancy and elite.

While there we picked up a HUGE box of Kellogg's FiberPlus Antioxidant Bars in Caramel Coconut Fudge.

It's always a risk buying a new flavor of anything at Costco, because if you don't like it you still have 7 bazillion left to eat... however that flavor just sounded TOO delicious not to try!!

and it was.


Delicious, that is.  Seriously... keep up people, it's only Monday.


Anywho --> the best quick instant "pick-me-up" is a 2-fer combo:  Hot Coffee + Caramel Coconut Fudge Bar.


Heaven.






Which is good because this morning seemed especially difficult to get out of bed.

I later found out that's because my crazy roommate thought it was a good idea to set our AC to 70 degrees... freezing. {thankyouNicole}


I am not sure what it is about feeling cold but I cannot leave the comfort of my sheets when I think it's cold outside - it takes every ounce of willpower I have in me to do so.

* Blueberry Fantastic-ness *


BlueBerry Muffin Recipe

I found a box of Fiber One Blueberry Muffin Mix at the store yesterday and had to try it out!


If you follow the recipe directly it makes 1 dozen (12) muffins and each one has 130 calories and 5g of fiber!!

I made two changes to the recipe on the box.

#1 - I swapped 6oz plain Greek Yogurt - Chobani - for the Canola Oil
This will make them creamier, less fattening and have a higher amount of protein!


#2 - I used fresh blueberries and raspberries in my mix which makes them EXTRA delicious!

Final Product:



This muffin made my morning oh-so-enjoyable!!! and at < 130calories per muffin (not sure exactly how many calories my greek yogurt swap from canola oil saved per muffin) they're the perfect filling high fiber snack!  morning OR afternoon!! 

Question for the Day:  Have you ever cooked with Greek Yogurt? What's your favorite recipe swap? :)


ENJOY!!!
