I had half a container of blueberries that were on the verge of going moldy, so I used them all in today’s smoothie. I normally use 3 pieces of fruit, but the berries will count for two. Use the @Blendtec to mix until smooth with spinachfrozen bananacranberry juicewater and ice. Bring on the morning!

Healthy Hotel Breakfast

One of the biggest challenges about traveling is the food. When I’m away from home, it’s like I have some “pass” to not eat healthy. But I certainly know that is NOT the case! In fact, it’s the breakfast buffet which is included in the daily rate hotel rate that can really get me!

Marriott breakfastBefore I started eating healthier, one of my favorite breakfast items was biscuits and gravy. Here I find myself at the gorgeous Coldsprings Marriott in Franklin, Tennessee… Yep, you guessed it. BIG problem! The south is KNOWN for their “comfort food“, which certainly includes biscuits and gravy… Not to mention all the other yumminess the Marriott generously offers at their breakfast buffet.

Darn that generous Southern hospitality!

Knowing my weaknesses, I aimed for the oatmeal and piled high the berries and melon slices. Luckily they also had nuts (albeit not raw) and raisins. Not shy about going back for more berries and fruit too… Best to fill my stomach with good fuel in the morning!

Tummy full and great way to start the day while traveling! What is your travel healthy breakfast tip?

I’ll see you at the table…
