Voting for the next Hug-a-_____ Month is still going on. As of right now, it looks like Hug-a-Fruit is winning. But even if the one you want doesn’t win this month, we’ll probably get around to all of them at some point.

It rarely gets hot here in the mornings. When it does, it’s frozen smoothies for breakfast. Sometimes they are so frozen they turn into ice cream! Cold oatmeal is really good too!
I used to eat cold oatmeal a lot but haven’t in awhile. Even in the summer time I eat warm cereal. There is just something comforting about it that I can’t say no. I tried the blended grains trick this morning on my oatmeal and it was really good. Thanks for the idea. 🙂
My fav breakfast on a hot day is cold cereal…not too inventive though, lol. I make it awesome by adding fresh blueberries, banana, chopped almonds, almond butter, and hemp milk. It’s disgustingly hot & humid here, so I had it this morning! 🙂
I love cold oatmeal! If I don’t do overnight oats I will cook it and then put frozen blueberries in it. The heat thaws them but the oatmeal gets cold. It is so good.
I’ve been on an oatmeal kick lately even though it is hot. Smoothies just don’t seem to satisfy me lately. Maybe on the side of some oats? Yeah, that’s the ticket!
i love her idea too- hug a pet!!! but katie, how do i hug my fish!?! maybe i’ll get my bathing suit and snorkle ready just incase the idea is chosen..hmm…
This is a bit off topic…however, I’ve been thinking of things I would like to see “healthified”, and wanted to give you a bit of a challenge?! Can you help me come up with a way to enjoy healthified “Coldstone Creamery Cake Batter” flavored ice cream? It’s one of those things that I eat and wish I instantly/magically could eat all over! THANKS KATIE 🙂
fave breakfast as of lately: banana blended with scoop of unsweetened cocoa powder, coconut milk, 3 ice cubes, and a touch of maple syrup…ahhh~
I think a big ol’ smoothie is my favourite breakfast on a hot day. But I also enjoy a simple bowl of cereal, or yogurt with fruit and granola and nut butter 🙂 I’m not really that picky.
YAAAY hug a fruit! <3
my favorite cool down breakfast for sure is banana soft serve! i feel like i'm getting away with eating ice cream for breakfast but i'm really eating my favorite food EVER… bananas! 😀
I’ve been meaning to try overnight cold oats for a while! I’m so use to hot oats, though. They seem to be all the rage so I’ll have to give em a shot. 🙂

I love cold oatmeal too! I thought I was so weird for that…
My fave hot day breakfast is a smoothie, or just straight-up fruit. But I always drink hot coffee, no matter the temperature. Not sure why!

I have never had cooked oatmeal cold, but thinking of it as rice pudding makes it a whole lot easier to think about. 🙂

I eat oatmeal or pancakes pretty much everyday, hot or not, but I guess cold cereal might be more appetizing.
Pure2raw twins says
When I use to be able to eat oatmeal, I loved it cold!
BroccoliHut says
I just posted my recipe for overnight oats, which are very hot weather-friendly, but I will always choose a smoothie over anything else on a hot day.
Melissa @ For the Love of Health says
I vote ice cold milk in some Kashi cereal..
Yours looks great too!
Anne @ Food Loving Polar Bear says
I’m not very keen on eating breakfast ever but if I had to choose the faourite one on a hot day it would be fruits, lots of fruits! 🙂
