Banana Apple Oats!!
Just my usual oat combo with banana, vanilla, and apple. To speed up cooking time, I cut up the apple & added some cinnamon and agave, then nuked it in the microwave for a minute before adding to the oats.
Guess what’s baaaaaaaaack?! DYKT!!!
Here’s some old “Did you knows” for new readers:

Did You Know Tuesday #9
Did you know that coffee isn’t necessarily dehydrating?
If your body is used to coffee (i.e. you drink it on a regular basis) you can actually count is as part of your fluid intake! However, if you only have it on occasion, coffee acts as a diuretic and can contribute to dehydration.
Coffee is one of those topics where “they” change their minds about it nearly every day, so use your best judgment!! Check to see if you’re hydrated– is your urine clear or pale yellow, or is it dark? Does your skin look dry? Are you thirsty?!
If you drink coffee before a race, make sure you practice drinking it before a training run to see how your body handles it. And be sure to include other fluids besides coffee.
Do you drink coffee before a race? I do, but stick to one cup. (Gotta make sure the plumbing’s clear if you know what I mean…;))
