Admittedly, oats for breakfast sound like something horses should be eating. I’m not really into breakfast, in general. (Unless it involves pancakes and sausage.) So when someone sent me this recipe, I was like, yeah whatever. But, I started looking into it and the only things I was concerned about were the oats and the cinnamon (it’s not good for me in large quantities).
So I totally made this last night and I loved it. It has about 12.5 grams of protein to kickstart your day or help you get rid of those Thirsty Thursday remnants. AND it tastes pretty damn good.
Here’s how to make it:
1: In a 250ml mason jar (or whatever), layer these ingredients in this order.
1/3 – 1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tsp chia seeds
1 tbsp peanut butter
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 banana cut into pieces
1/2 cup soy or almond milk
2: Seal and shake the jar rigorously until combined. Make sure they’re mixed well after shaking.
3: Refrigerate overnight.
That’s it.
Here’s to your healthy morning eating habits!
