1/4 cup rolled oats1/4 cup greek yogurt (I use 0% Fage)
1/3 cup + 1 Tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
1 1/2 Tablespoons Chia seeds
2 Tablespoons PB2 Powdered peanut butter
1/2 banana sliced
I eat overnight oatmeal about 5 days a week. I love it because I can make it ahead of time, so when it is time to eat breakfast, I can just grab it and go.
I got this recipe idea from my friend, Megan. I was chatting with her about PB2 and she said she put it in her overnight oats and I thought that was a brilliant idea. I use PB2 because it only has 45 calories and 85% less fat a serving and regular peanut butter has about 200 calories.
All you need to do is mix the first 5 ingredients. Once mixed, I add the sliced bananas and put it in my mason jar and toss it in the fridge. Easy Peasy.
My recipe has 246 calories, .5 grams saturated fat, 8.3 grams of dietary fiber, 10.8 grams sugar, and 16.1 grams of protein. Wow! That's a lot of protein.
How long is it good in the fridge?
ReplyDeleteAt least 8 hours before consumption. This jar can last up to 5 days in the fridge.
DeleteHow many carbs?
ReplyDeleteApproximately 246
DeleteCan you use steel cut oats?

I was going to ask same thing, steel cut oats are the best nutritionally.
Deletedo you mix in the bananas or just use them as garnish?
ReplyDeleteMix them in :-)
ReplyDeleteDo you warm it up or eat it cold?
ReplyDeleteCold :-)
DeleteCan you make all 5 at the beginning of the week?
ReplyDeleteI have!
ReplyDeleteWill this recipe work (taste good) without yogurt and chia seeds?
