HER FINISH STRONG SERIES

Good morning lovelies! Thank you again for the sweet, sweet comments about my marathon recap!!

Woke up feeling like I got beat with a bat! I managed to peal myself out of bed at a decent hour. I wanted to make sure I took this day for rest,  but at the same time I have a lot of things to get done and I wanted to make the most out of my day off.

First things first I made a wonderful recovery bowl of Pomegranate Oats!

Did you know that Pomegranates support healthy blood flow because of its iron properties?? I need all the healthy antioxidants and healthy blood flow I can get!

In the bowl:

• 1/3 c oats + 2/3 cup soy milk + 1/2 banana
• mixed in cinnamon, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp flax seed
• toppings: 1/8 Honest Foods Pomegranate Walnut Plank Bar, POM Seeds, Chopped Pecans, Unsweetened Coconut, and one spoonful of Barney Butter.
