Happy Friday, friends!
Hope you have a great one. I had the exact same breakfast as yesterday because it was SO good and SO filling!
Egg white pumpkin oatmeal! I swear, adding egg whites AND pumpkin makes for the biggest, baddest bowl of oats ever. So much volume to this bowl! 🙂
I was going to go to a 75 minute yoga class this morning but I have a very tight muscle on the lower right side of my body that has been bothering me a bit lately and I don’t want to put any more stress on it today…I might do some deep stretches later but I think my body is asking for a little rest.
I’ve been just wallowing in my bed all morning and it’s time to get my act together. See you later!

January 15, 2010 at 8:20 ami’ve never added egg whites or pumpkin to oatmeal before…i feel left out in the blog world. 🙂 But most of the time I add lots of milk and chopped up apples and it is ridiculously good. I love the crunch!

Olga @ Healthing It
January 15, 2010 at 8:21 amThat oatmeal looks delish!
And I’ve also spent most of the morning in bed 🙂 I guess I’ll go do something now!

January 15, 2010 at 8:21 amGood for you for listening to your body!! Resting is a super important part of any healthy lifestyle. 😀
I’m going to take your idea and add some egg whites and pumpkin to a bowl of oats soon. It sounds like an awesome and filling combo. 😀

Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat)
January 15, 2010 at 8:37 amI eat the same breakfast almost every single morning, too. It’s just that good! 😀
Heather @ The Joyful Kitchen
January 15, 2010 at 8:40 ami’ve got to try the egg white thing soon! i love how full i feel for hours after my normal oats, bet it’s even better with the whites 🙂
Sam (Merit to the Carrot)
January 15, 2010 at 8:50 amThat’s a glorious bowl of oats, indeed!
Chloe (No Sugar and Spice)
January 15, 2010 at 8:50 amI must start adding eggwhites, it seems like all the bloggies love it and would keep me full for a long time. Have a great Friday!!!

January 15, 2010 at 8:51 ampumpkin oats are my favorite…i really like to make them for dinner when cooking just isn’t an option.
all your yoga musings and pumpkin oats make me miss being at school! 2 days until midweek pumpkin oat dinners and Yoga to the People… 🙂
Christie @ Honoring Health
January 15, 2010 at 8:53 amI love pumpkin oats!!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing
January 15, 2010 at 9:04 amI don’t know if you have already explained but how exactly do you add the egg whites? I tried that once a long time ago and I ended up with chunks of cooked eggs all throughout my oats.. NOT good.
Jil
January 15, 2010 at 9:16 amI did that this morning, too — I was rather productive … but in between productiveness I just kinda hung out in my bed. It felt glorrrrious. 🙂
Jamie
January 15, 2010 at 9:19 amI’ve got to learn how to do that egg white thing. so good for protein and volume- two things I love 🙂
Ameena
January 15, 2010 at 9:20 amHave a great time at yoga…I could totally use that this morning!!
Megan (BitesoftheApple)
January 15, 2010 at 9:24 amFoam roller! Foam roller! That thing is a miracle worker.

January 15, 2010 at 9:24 amlong mornings in bed are the best!
Evan Thomas
January 15, 2010 at 9:29 amI’ve never tried pumpkin AND egg whites but it sounds divine.
This morning I tried HEABs protein ice cream and my stomach is just not that big. I couldn’t eat even half and had to switch to nut butter to increase cal intake
Deva (Voracious Vorilee)
January 15, 2010 at 9:29 amI was inspired by you to try egg white oats yesterday and loved them. They were so proteiny and filling and delicious 🙂
Ali @ Food, Fitness, Fashion
January 15, 2010 at 9:33 amI keep meaning to add egg whites to my oatmeal and always forget! Thanks for the reminder!
Heather
January 15, 2010 at 9:41 amI need to try the egg whites in oatmeal! I’ve heard so many good things, and yours looks positively yummy!
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen)
January 15, 2010 at 9:54 amDo you think oat bran would increase the volume and satiety of a bowl of oats? I noticed that you sometime have oat bran instead of rolled oats and was wondering about the difference…
Hooray for pumpkin (in all things!)
Casey @ Spicy&Sweet)
January 15, 2010 at 9:54 amYummy! I love egg whites in oatmeal, even though I was scared of the combo at first :).
Happy weekend Jenna!
Juliet
January 15, 2010 at 10:02 amwhen you cook the oatmeal, at what point do you put the egg whites in?
Sarah (Oc2Seattle)
January 15, 2010 at 10:03 amHope you’re able to stretch it out! Have a great weekend!
Andrea
January 15, 2010 at 10:05 amBreakfast looks delicious, as always! I’ve never tried pumpkin or egg whites, but i’m going to try it this weekend. I’m guessing you use the pumpkin puree? Also, I have the same question above about how you add the egg whites. I don’t want to mess up a perfect bowl of oatmeal 🙂
Hope you have a great weekend!
Seth @ Boy Meets Food
January 15, 2010 at 10:20 amHey Jenna, I know you are very “help the world”-y, so I wanted to let you and your readers know that I am trying to raise some money for the relief efforts in Haiti.
In hopes that others will make donations to any of the great charity organizations that are helping out, I have pledged $2 for every comment on this post where you tell me how you helped out Haiti.
Rachel@Coconut Crumbs
January 15, 2010 at 10:27 amJust found your blog, love it! You know, I tried pumpkin before and it didn’t work out so well. But you’re inspiring me to give it another shot. thanks, have a great weekend Jenna!
Tay
January 15, 2010 at 10:33 amMmm I’ve loved egg white oatmeal for years!! And adding a whole egg even makes it more filling and creamy 😉 Delicious! I call it Custard Oatmeal because it’s sooo custardy 🙂
Katharine
January 15, 2010 at 10:35 amLove that bowl! Is it from Anthro?
Estela @ Weekly Bite
January 15, 2010 at 10:35 amOkay, i’m adding egg whites to my next batch of oats!
Gracie @ Girl Meets Health
January 15, 2010 at 10:39 amYUM! I’ll have to try this bad-boy combo soon. I actually *just* ate overnight oats for breakfast for the very first time today, and I LOVEEEE. So thanks for introducing me to them 😉

January 15, 2010 at 10:40 amWhen do you add the egg whites?
theemptynutjar
January 15, 2010 at 10:48 amBig enormous bowls of cereal and oats are the best. Even just as “snacks” in my case! I eat a lot 🙂
You are amazing yogi. I just have no motivation to do anything beyond 15-20 minutes of the most basic tape ever invented. Oh well….its a “long” phase I guess….maybe just not my thing!

January 15, 2010 at 11:26 ameggwhites-CHECK…pumpkin-CHECK…delicous bowl of voluminous oats…CHECK!! sounds so good!!
Teniah
January 15, 2010 at 11:44 amWhile I think it’s fantastic that you have been doing so much power yoga (which sounds really difficult with all the “jumping” from posture to posture); perhaps you are due for a traditional relaxation yoga session! Maybe your muscles are just telling you to relax and let go….Hope the tightness subsides. Just remember that you can get a ton of great benefits from slow and flowing yoga poses. =) Namaste
I am definitely going to have to try this pumpkin oatmeal deal that you have going on – seems like it’s your fav! =)
Jenna
January 15, 2010 at 11:56 amI need to get on the band wagon and try pumpkin and egg white oats asap!!

January 15, 2010 at 12:13 pmI need to try pumpkin in my oats again. I really didn’t like it the first time. I don’t think I added enough cinnamon or something.
Hillary @ Nutrition Nut on the Run
January 15, 2010 at 12:35 pmI’m having the same kind of Friday. Didn’t get my day going until way late. Enjoy your weekend, girlie : )
Cole
January 15, 2010 at 12:44 pmThose oats look delish.
Mae @ OhhMay
January 15, 2010 at 12:46 pmAhh I LOVE “French-toast” oats! Especially with pumpkin or squash… favorite breakfast of all time! (try making the oats with vanilla tea. It’s so good!)
Paige@ RunningAroundNormal
January 15, 2010 at 1:35 pmLOVE pumpkin in my oats. I finally ran out the other day, and went back to using a banana instead, and my oats were so much….less 🙁 haha
Kristin (Cook, Bake and Nibble)
January 15, 2010 at 5:39 pmYumm, I love pumpkin oats!!
Niki F
January 15, 2010 at 9:40 pmLOVE your breakfast! I eat this (except with oat bran instead of oatmeal) every single morning, but can’t stop because of how delicious, filling and huge a portion!
And your wrap looks fabulous too! I love hummus and avo!
Merriem
January 16, 2010 at 10:58 amDo you have a recipe for this? I tried it and ended up with chunks of eggs in my oat meal 🙁
Linda
January 16, 2010 at 4:37 pmDo you just add pasturized egg whites? Thanks!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen)
January 18, 2010 at 6:47 amI made oatmeal adding egg whites to it due to you posting about it. I loved it and shared on my website! Thank you for sharing that! It was a great way to add protein to my morning oats!
