The “Breakfast Sundae”
I’m bored of doing the same old “leave a comment, enter to win” giveaways all the time. And the Pancake Roll Up challenge of a few months ago was so much fun that I thought we could do something similar this time: Sundae-style!
.
Magic Bullet Contest
Yes, it’s a bit more complicated than the easy-peasy “leave a comment” giveaways.
BUT this also means that your chances of winning increase by quite a lot, since you’ll probably be competing only against 20 or so others as opposed to hundreds.
So it might just be worth the extra effort 
.
.
Rules:
Make and blog about a Breakfast Sundae. (Read below for ideas.)
Or, if you don’t have a blog, send me a photo (and then leave a comment, so I can ensure I received your email). Bloggers get three entries, because it takes more effort to write a post than send an email.

Sundae School
The way I see it, a good ice cream sundae has three things:
whipped cream (especially good with the whipped cream trick!), sprinkles, and chocolate sauce. So, naturally, the same rule should follow for an oatmeal “breakfast sundae.”
.
Ideas for the makings of a breakfast sundae:
Whipped Cream
- pumpkin pie mousse
- Five-Minute Chocolate Mousse
- homemade vegan whipped cream
- mashed sweet potato or squash
- soy yogurt
- coconut butter
.
Sprinkles
- slivered almonds
- raisins
- actual sprinkes
- shredded coconut
- cinnamon or cocoa dust
- raw oats
.
Optional add-ins:
- banana (for banana split)
- chocolate high-protein brownie
- berries
- crumbled fudge babies
.
And don’t forget the chocolate syrup! (Melted PMS chocolate)

Recap of the Giveaway Rules:
Blog about a Breakfast Sundae, linking back to the Breakfast Sundae post.
That’s it! (Or send me an email, if you don’t have a blog)
Contest ends in TWO weeks.

Hello Katie I loveeee your blog and site!! Its the best!! Thank you so much from one vegan to another!
I love the magic bullet info-mercials i watch them all the time and I really wish i had one!!! win me oneee!! hehehe.!!
Darn it! I would love to win a Magic Bullet, but alas, the concept of a breakfast sundae sounds disgusting to me
Just can’t do it. I really dislike the textural thing when you add nut butters or other mentioned to oatmeal – I know, I seem to be out on my own! Always next time!
I just e-mailed you a picture of my breakfast sundae for the giveaway!
Yayyyyy!! So cool!!
Does my Brownie Ice Cream Chocolate icing thing look like a sundae??
If so, I’ll do another one and blog about it on my next post :3
Also, I wonder if an ACTUAL sundae eaten at breakfast would count? xD
Sent you my entry, Katie. Thank you!
Is it open to readers from the UK?
Sarah,
Definitely!!
Rachelle,
Awww thank YOU!!
LOL I loved those info-mercials too. They definitely convinced me that I needed an MB… so I guess they’re good commercials!
Hey Katie, I’ve been flirting with vegetarianism, but haven’t made the move. So I guess my question is: does the sundae have to be vegan? I can make it so easily! But I wanted to know if it was required, out of curiosity. Thanks!
Raquel,
Good question! It definitely does NOT have to be vegan. I’ve chosen to live my life as a vegan, but that doesn’t mean I would ever force my lifestyle onto someone else. (Haha, if I tried, my mom, dad, and sister would put me back in my place ASAP!)
I entered! Hope you like my sundae! I had it for snack today, and I even used your Voluminous Oatmeal trick
.
i love this! i hope i win, my blender is dying
i made a choco-mole banana almond sundae! linked back to here: http://thedelicateplace.wordpress.com/2010/07/19/healthy-sundae/
Thanks Katie! I’m on it!!
Emailed you.
Yay for breakfast sundaes! They are yummy! Here is the link to my breakfast creation: http://foodfunlife.blogspot.com/2010/07/breakfast-sundae.html
I don’t have a blog, but I just sent you an email with my picture!
I just blogged about a variation on the breakfast sundae. Hope it counts! Thanks!
I blogged about an Oatmeal Sundae! You seriously make so many creative and tasty recipes, you are amazing!

I blogged about my breakfast sundae. Great idea, Katie!

To everyone who left pingbacks last night/this morning:
I’ll visit all your lovely bloggies sometime today!!
I just blogged about it here http://privatelyiamjoy.blogspot.com/2010/07/as-luck-would-have-it.html but I seriously wanted to thank you because my husband NEVER appreciates my mixins in his oatmeal and he said it was perfect so thank you for the inspiration
I’ve submitted my entry!!! http://lizlivingvegan.wordpress.com/2010/07/23/silver-linings/
Left you an email! Thanks for the opportunity.
Is this contest still on? Im still trying to figure out my “stuff” haha..

Yes! There’s still a week left
.

Here’s my post!

I am SO on this. Making a super sexy sundae
It’ll be on my blog very soon, and I’ll let you know when it is!
I just wrote up my post!
here’s a link: http://cleaneatsinthedirtysouth.wordpress.com/2010/07/24/one-sexy-fruit/
I really hope I can score a magic bullet. I won’t lie – I’m a cheap college student. When my previous green monster makin smoothie died last semester, I didn’t want to buy a new one unless it had a good reputation. And I didn’t have enough cash for that… and I still don’t. But I can’t tell you how handy a magic bullet would be… I’m the food chair in my dorm, so I’m responsible for cooking for over 150 people for dorm events during the year. Needless to say… a blender would be SO handy!
<3
just sent you two more pics of my breakfast sundaes!!
great giveaway!!
Thanks Theresa! I emailed you

Hello Katie- I have just made my Sundae post!
http://learningtoeatproperly.blogspot.com/2010/07/sundae-sunday.html
Thank you so much for hosting this giveaway! It was a lot of fun coming up with different variations.
Hi Katie,
Just made a quick post about my “breakfast sundae”! http://jennyonajourney.wordpress.com/2010/07/27/precursor-to-a-post/
Not sure I entirely understand how one of us goes about actually winning… but clearly many of us are truly dying to get our hands on a Magic Bullet, haha.
Thanks for holding such a great giveaway! Looking forward to the results, whatever they may be.
Check out my soy yogurt with nuts and naners breakfast! Love that stuff! Great for the summer
Here’s my 2nd post for the breakfast sundae! I think next I’ll try one with coconut and maybe chocolate chips! Yum!
And finally I’ll leave! lol. I love your blog, you give such great advice on how to stay grounded when it comes to food. IT’s so easy for people to go off the wagon with dieting and I think society’s depiction of how women should look doesn’t aid the matter. Breakfast sundae’s can be super healthy and a wonderful alternative to a heavy breakfast! Also we all know breakfast can be lunch or dinner also so wahoo to that!
I blogged about my breakfast sundae! Please enter me!
