HELLO, YOU. YOU’RE SO GREAT AND I AM SO HAPPY YOU’RE HERE!!!

If that felt aggressive, it’s because it most definitely was.

I’m bringing you a delicious breakfast that will have you starting your day with a bang, girlfriend.

I’m talking oats, chia seeds, almond butter, almond milk, cinnamon. I mean, come on? How can you not want to start your day this way?

If you’re a busy bee and don’t have time to make breakfast in the morning or want to spend that extra 30 minutes sleeping in, then these Protein Overnight Oats will be your new best friend.

The combination of chia seeds and oats absorbs liquid in 30 seconds flat. Therefore, you could make this in the morning, let it sit on your way to work and eat when you get there. If you have a little more time you could warm it up, but in the summer time, I love mine cold.

You can add any goodies you want to jazz this up but here is my go-to recipe.

p.s. How awesome is this wooden board in my photos? My uncle made that. HE MADE IT.

Protein Overnight Oats w/ Chia 

---

ingredients: 

• 1/2 cup gluten free rolled oats
• 1/4 cup chia seeds (why are chia seeds the best? learn here)
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (I use this brand – pea protein is easier on your stomach – no bloat)
• 1 large and in charge tbsp almond butter
• 1 1/2 cups almond milk
• pinch of salt
• 1 tsp real maple syrup or honey
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

directions:

• mix all ingredients in a medium sized bowl and stir to combine
• once mixed, transfer to a glass jar or container for storage
• leave at least 1 hour in the fridge or overnight

toppings: 

• banana
• a drizzle of honey or maple syrup
• chia seeds
• hemp seeds
• slivered almonds (highly recommend)
• more almond butter (hehe)
• cinnamon
• strawberries
• cocoa nibs
• anything you want, ok

TIP: If you like your oats more creamy I would add more milk because it’s rather thick, which I enjoy! I always add a little more right before I eat it as well. If it becomes too runny, don’t worry! Once it sits in the fridge the chia and oats will absorb more than you realize.

Enjoy & don’t forget to let me know if you give this recipe a try.

all my love,
