Hi guys! I am in New York all week for work and wooooahhhh what a circus it is! Fashion Week is in full swing and I have been having alllll kinds of star sightings. They range from the jaw dropping to the plain craaaaazy. Sorry for all of the extra letters in these words- but there is no other way to explain it. You also have to get passed 200 teen fans and paparazzi to get a cab outside the hotel. I can’t imagine how people live like this!

Chocolate Coconut Cherry Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl- Vegan anf GFThe good news is that there is fantastic people watching on levels I have never experienced before (except for maybe in Las Vegas). Also, I have to admit, it is like everywhere you walk in the city right now people have their game on. Like the best, most creative outfits and coolest shoes and accessories. I think everyone is just hanging out waiting to be photographed (by anyone!) I feel like I need to start dressing better. Chocolate Coconut Cherry Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl- Vegan anf GF

But in the mean time lets talk breakfast!! Well, honestly, is it fair to call this breakfast? I say yes, because it is “dark chocolate”- right?! I love that little bit of sweetness with the coconut and the tart cherries- chocolate, cherry and coconut is a magical combo by the way- and I love how it dresses up oatmeal. I feel like I would also eat this if I was having some kind of dessert melt-down after dinner or in the late afternoon (because that is when my cravings hit). At least you would get some great fiber and nutrients from the oatmeal and coconut and it is super filling so this delicious breakfast bowl goes the distance!
