I am OBSESSED with trying out new yogurt varietals.  So, when Plenti came out, I was, at first, curious.  Oats already in the Yogurt?  I was a bit intrigued.

Upon first hearing of the product I was a bit skeptical.  Would the oats be a little soggy?  When it came time to open the first lid I was also skeptical: Were the oats ALL at the top or were they mixed inside the yogurt already:

But, I loved the flavor options:

Blueberry

Strawberry

Vanilla

Black Cherry

Peach

Coconut

Raspberry

Spiced Apple

In my local Raleys, they had 3 of the varieties available: Blueberry, Strawberry, and Vanilla.  And even better, they were on sale for 10/10.00 dollars.

Once I opened the lid, this is what was waiting inside:

The Oats WERE already mixed inside.  And to be honest, this yogurt left me a bit more full after eating with the Oats inside.  The oats weren’t overwhelming, and didn’t take away from the flavor of the yogurt at all.  For a person like me, on the go, EXACTLY what I need, for a little extra meal boost, especially in the MORNING when I never give myself enough time to get ready, and am rushing out the door.  Breakfast is the most IMPORTANT meal of the day, after all.

Breakfast

Even on the days when there’s a bit more time for BREAKFAST, adding in a Plenti yogurt is a GREAT tie in.  Sundays, I tend to go all out for breakfast, or, in my case, brunch.  The combination of my favorite sweets, fruits, and yogurt all come together.  The perfect way to start out a weekend day.

Spending a Day at the San Francisco Zoo

Posted on August 2, 2015 by Jamie

I was honestly blown away by this Zoo.  Being a huge fan of Zoo’s, I didn’t go in with any expectations, and decided to let the Zoo tell its story.

Upon first entrance, my eyes were instantly drawn towards the Giraffe, and I found myself walking the Trail into Africa, and getting a vantage point of the Giraffes.  Lucky for me, they were extremely active that day, meaning, they were out and about, eating leaves off the trees, chasing Ostriches, and lurking about wondering what I was doing.

I visited the zoo during a Summer afternoon, but, for what it was worth, it was a good time because it seemed if the animals were a bit more active.

The only ones that really weren’t were the Bears, The Tigers, and the Lions.  We were able to see the Tigers in their dens, the lions sleeping away together, but no signs of the bears, at all.

For what it’s worth, I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story:

Giraffes

Giraffes Frolicking

Tiger

Anteater

Cougar

Beautiful Snow Leopard

Penguins

And Penguins

When I first walked up to the Penguins, I was a little alarmed.  It was 72 degrees outside, and they were all hanging out outdoors.  BUT, I soon learned, that yes, there are Penguins that can EXIST in Warm Weather Conditions, these were such penguins.

It was a fun afternoon at the Zoo, and if you have not been, the San Francisco Zoo is definitely worth a visit in the future.
