Bright and early this morning, I met the POM bloggers for a continental breakfast in the hotel lobby. I never know what to expect with continental breakfasts, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a huge spread of healthy options!
I was especially psyched to see a mini oatmeal bar! 
I swear, oatmeal is the only meal that holds me over for hours.
I also helped myself to some fresh fruit: cantaloup, watermelon, and orange slices.
The oatmeal was delicious– hearty, warm, and creamy. I added chopped walnuts, raisins, dried cranberries, and brown sugar to my bowl.
I also added a couple scoops of peanut butter for some serious staying power.
After breakfast, the group split-up into two vans to make the 2-hour long drive to the POM orchards.
Road trippin’! 
There wasn’t anything for miles and miles, except gorgeous scenery.
On the drive, Caitlin and I sampled a peanut butter flavored POM BAR X.
Check out the video below for our reactions to this new bar!

Beautiful scenery! I’d love to try the bar!
yay oatmeal bar! haven’t seen much of that in a hotel before…
Ooh, I bet a POM bar would be really yummy…
POM has a bar out? Did not know that. Is there pom in it? The label says peanut butter and chocolate but that would taste even better with the tart pomegranate.
Where’s the video?
wow an oatmeal bar? That’s awesome.
Omg that Pom bar sounds amazing. Any input on when they hit shelves?
great pics!

What an awesome continental breakfast bar! Love those oatmeal toppings!
Wow! Such beautiful scenery!
I love when the continental breakfast is good. I always pack an alternative breakfast just in case but having a great breakfast bar is awesome.
I’m excited for the POM bar. Did they say when it will be available for purchase?
Yum, the POM X bar sounds great! Like your live taste test -LOL!
Hey Tina, I’m a regular reader/commenter and I enjoyed the review, but I have to warn that everyone sharing the same bar is absolutely gross! Sure is a good way to get colds, mono, cold sores, and other nasties. Sorry to be harsh, but, as a health student (reading a health lifestyle blog), it’s my duty to urge: Just don’t do it!
Dang- You girls are really making me hungry for some pomegranate!
Enjoy the remainder of CA!
Oatmeal with a little peanut butter keeps my hunger at bay longer than almost any breakfast. It’s insane. And believe me that it doesn’t take much peanut butter.
That breakfast looks awesome
