Yummy breakfast this morning! 
And it was so easy to make! 
To make the agave nectar and berry sauce, I just combined 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries with 1/4 cup agave nectar in a small bowl and popped it in the microwave for about 90 seconds– until the berries were fully defrosted and the mixture was warm.
Then I poured the warm sauce over two toasted Van’s Organic Waffles. Mmmmm! The berries and agave nectar blended so well together.
I also added a grass + caffeine smoothie and a no-cook peanut butter cookie to breakfast for some added staying power.
Examples Workouts
This morning, I practically bounded out of bed to do this circuit training workout that I had forgotten about until recently. It’s funny how old (new?) workouts can motivate me like that! I also sort of forgot about all of these workouts that I have posted on the blog since its beginning. And there are even more example workouts here (just scroll through my older posts).
Question of the Day
If you won $1 million, what would you do with it?

That breakfast looks yummy. I usually defrost my berries in the microwave too for toppings in yogurt–but have not thought about using agave too. I might have to try that!
Breakfast is so colorful, I love berries on waffles!
If I won one million dollars, I think I would give half to my parents. B/c they have spent so much on me….school, clothes, my car, my apartment….. And then the other half I would save for my future house!
quit my fucking job!!!!
What a simple, and yummy breakfast!
I would open up my own business.
Pay off my school loans, pour money into my 401k, set aside money for my future wedding/honeymoon, beef up my “emergency fund”, set aside money for a down payment on a condom, buy out H& M, get a pair of Jimmy Choos and a big ole’ expensive purse and then quit my job and travel, travel, travel with my bf.
I meant down payment on a condo!!! Oops!!!
I’d like to say I’d invest it and spend it wisely, or plan for my future. And maybe I’d take over 1/2 of it and do just that.
But mostly I would spend some time in Paris, and the rest of Europe. It’s a dream.
I’ll echo Caitlin’s statement
A milliion dollars? I’d definitely buy a house!
If I won $1 million, I’d start by paying off my school loans! Then I’d buy a house.
Mmm, waffles. Looks delicious.
If I won a million dollars, first I’d pay my parents back for college and for my car. I’d convince my boyfriend to bite the bullet and move to San Francisco with me and have a beautiful wedding and Mediterranean honeymoon. After that I’d probably put it in some fancy savings account to accumulate interest. I’m not the type who would like to stop working.
I would pay off my student loans, get a better car, and then save/invest!! And probably take a trip to Italy.
lovely waffle, that fruit sauce looks so delicious.
well if i had a mill dollars i would move to park slope brooklyn(favorite place in the world) and live in a beautiful brown stone apartment and get a place in paris, and just live like a queen 
hmmm 1 minllion dollars well i just bought a lottery ticket yesterday for tonights drawing for 240 mill…haha
I had Van’s waffles for breakfast this morning too!! They weren’t as pretty as yours though.
If I won a million dollars I would finance my college education, donate money to Doctor’s Without Borders, and buy an apartment;)
That looks amazing! It kind of looks like the crepes I got at a restaurant the other day that had blueberries, blackberries, and blueberry sauce on them.
If I won a million dollars, I’d give some away to charities and my family, buy a new car, and pay off my loans/credit card bills! Maybe buy a new bike too! AND MOVE TO BOSTON!
I would buy a house in FL and one in CA and spend half my time with my fam and half with Ben’s
I warmed up sliced strawberries with a bit of sugar in the microwave last night as part of my dessert, HOLY YUM!!! Fabulous looking breakie.
I would travel, make sure my family was taken care of, and invest!
If I won a million dollars I would donate some and spend the rest on travel, there are so many places that I want to see!
I’d give half to my mom so she could have a worry-free retirement, put 50k in a fund for my goddaughter’s college, take a month off to go to Australia, and put any leftovers into savings. Ahhh. . . nice to dream!
I would donate at least $100,000. Pay off my debt, and that of my parents and in-laws. Then I would take a long trip to Europe- making sure to go to Italy, Spain, Germany and Ireland….Fix-up my small house (nothing too extravagant), and invest the rest for the future!
I’d buy a charming little cottage at the beach, spend my days writing, making jewelry and going to yoga teacher training. I’d also write my book without fear of it not selling
Finding old things you forgot about is like Christmas!
If I had a million dollars I would give a good bit to my church and my parents. Then I would get a car for me and some fun stuff I want. Maybe have a good spa day. Then I’d be boring and save the rest. I’m not ready to retire so I’d put a bunch in savings to buy a house and the like later.
Mmm, awesome combo — berries, waffles and a green coffee smoothie! I like that defrosting berries trick.
Pay off my debt, donate to charity and my church, take care of my family, buy a house and save the rest. I’d definitely work my way out of my current job too and pursue my passions!
I would pay off my debt, gift some to my parents, and put the rest into savings and travel!
wow that breakfast looks divine!
i love using frozen berries on pancakes and waffles, but I’ve never added agave!
If I won $1 million, I would pay off our school loans, pay off the house, then send the rest to the orphanage we support. I want to be debt free!!!
Those berries look delicious. I love finding new ways to use agave nectar. Thanks!
If I won a million dollars, I would pay off my debt and my parent’s debt, buy a car, take a vacation, donate a portion to charity and then invest the rest.
what a great way to make a berry sauce quick!
if i were to win a million i would first pay off my debt and then probably buy a house or new car. so many possibilities!!
HOLY YUM Tina! That looks so good! I’ve never ventured into the land of agave nectar but people seem to love it so I might have to give it a try. It might be a healthier replacement for the syrup I usually use! Haha.
I still want to try agave–looks like a great recipe I could experiment with–thanks!
that looks deliciousssssss! i bet it would be awesome with peaches too!
I would, without a doubt, buy a farm. Then use the rest to help animals
I would pay off all of my college debt early and then buy myself a nice car then use the rest for a wedding someday.
so funny that you asked the question about $1 million, because I JUST bought a mega millions ticket (up to 265 million!). I would give a lot to my family, pay off student loans and travel with the Mister– and put a down payment on a house! I’d invest the rest
That looks incredible! What a decadent breakfast!!
If I won 1 mil, I would invest some of it and then go on a European tour
Breakfast looks so fresh and delicious!!!!
that breakie looks tres gourmet! I love Van’s waffles.
That breakfast looks so much better than my mushy oatmeal!
If I won $1mil, I’d probably give half to my and my BF’s families, then use the other half towards a house. Sadly even with the recession, that still wouldn’t buy a nice place in Fairfield County, but it would sure be a nice start!!
I’d pay off my student loans, help my sister out with hers, and give my family money for my brother’s college tuition. Then I’d try to buy (really just make a down payment) on a Manhattan apartment.
Yummy breakfast! I would travel the world, buy a dream house, donate to charity, and help out family members, invest, and quit my job…ha!
Your breakfast looks so pretty!
Oh gosh if I won 1 millions dollars I would travel the world, do mission work, invest (to please my Daddy), buy my parents their new house we are about to start building, and give my family/ friends the best birthday gifts ever!!!
Those waffles look yummy! If I won 1 million dollars I would pay off my student loans. Then I would probably buy our dream house. I would also get my family really great presents.
Loving the Berry waffles. If i won a million dollars I would by my mother a new car, bigger house and pay $ set money aside for my lil brother. he’ll be graduating in 2 years. pay for all his college education. Then buy myself a new car and the bf and finish school. pay those loans haha
The berries and waffles look so good! If I had a million dollars I would buy a house and pay off my student loans!
Pay off my debt, my parents debt and my sister debt. Buy us our own houses, invest, donate and travel! lol at Caitlin
How did the no bake cookie turn out?
pay off my debt ie. student loans, medical bills, blah blah blah
pay my parents back for all they’ve “loaned” me over the years and make sure they’re taken care of
buy some of the things i’ve been coveting forever such as: VITA MIX, food dehydrator, COMPUTER, digital camera (since both mine have bit the dust), fancy mixer
provide a treatment scholarship for someone suffering
go back to school for education
attend culinary school
get a new car
sponsor a good friend/family who is living in Africa
sponsor a child in a third world
tithe at least 20% to charities
i could keep going but now i have to work for enough gas money to get me home today…oh to win that million dollars….
That syrup sounds good. My go-to syrup right now is Trader Joe’s Maple Agave Syrup. It has a really distinct flavor, lighter than maple syrup but darker than agave, and it pairs with waffles and peanut butter well
Hmm, I would probably move to Charleston, SC (love it!) and buy a house right on the water. I’d also want to give quite a bit to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, Children’s Miracle Network, and pet resuce agencies. If I had any left, I would treat my boyfriend to a trip to Argentia to see his favorite soccer team.
I just realized that I could never do all those things with 1 million. I wouldn’t even be able to buy that house with 1 million
If I had 10…
