Buck the System

Happy Friday! I decided to treat myself this morning and skip packing breakfast in favor of picking it up. And by 'treat' I mean I spent $1.08 on dollar oats (damn you, sales tax) at Jamba Juice. If you have a Jamba Juice convenient to you, make sure to print yourself a coupon and score this at least once before the offer expires at the end of March!

There are real steel cut oats under there, I swear. I opted for the blueberry-blackberry topping with brown sugar. The other options are apple cinnamon or fresh banana. The topping I had was super sweet, but the oats themselves were not sweetened (just cooked in soymilk), so after stirring it all together, it balanced out alright. Still, if I were making it myself, I'd use the whole fruit. This tasted like pie filling, which is fine with me for occasional treat purposes, but being a smoothie company, I'm sure Jamba Juice has a few blackberries floating around their store. Pony up and give me the real deal, homes!

Unless I'm doing it in the crockpot, I rarely have the patience to do steel cut oats myself, so that was also a treat - so much more to chew on! Speaking of wholesome foods, Abbie is doing Jamba one better and giving away oatmeal for free! Among other fabulous goodies, that is. I am loathe to pass the link on to you, lest it diminish my own chances, bwahaha...
