WIAW! and Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats
So I think this is my first time officially participating in WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday) on time and with a full menu – being on spring break brings out a whole new side of me! Thanks to Jenn over at Peas and Crayons!
[Cause over here, we like to party!]
Breakfast:
- ½ c. rolled oats
- 2 rounded tbsp. peanut flour
- 2 rounded tbsp. cocoa powder (or less if you don’t like the bitter chocolate taste)
- 1 c. almond milk
- 2 tsp. chia seeds
- ½ banana, mashed
- Mix dry ingredients in large mug or bowl. Add ONLY ¾ c. almond milk and mashed banana and stir thoroughly. Place in refrigerator overnight. In the morning, microwave for 30 seconds (I prefer mine cool, but not ice cold) and add ¼ c. almond milk if desired. Enjoy!
Prep the night before.
All mixed up before going in the fridge.
Thick, chocolatey, and peanut buttery the next morning :) Eaten with a plastic spoon, of course.
Since I ate a late breakfast, I didn’t have any snack between breakfast and lunch.
I kicked butt at the gym and dead lifted my heaviest set ever at 115 lbs!!
A 25 and a 10 on each side. Can’t wait until I can just throw those 45s on there!
When I came home, I needed something HEARTY.
Lunch:
POWERBOWL #1: base of spaghetti squash with a whole sweet potato (carved out – I ate the insides!), filled with black beans, topped with Trader Joes’ peach salsa mixed with nutritional yeast, and a dollop of guacamole! SERIOUS YUM. Talk about plant power recovery!
[UNPICTURED]
I was so hungry that, alongside this great powerbowl, I mixed up a scoop of protein powder, 1 c. frozen organic mixed berries, and 1 cup almond milk for a delicious fruit smoothie. It was the PERFECT recovery after a killer workout.
Snack:
Delicious organic empire apples that we got in our delivery box from Boston Organics.
Dinner:
POWERBOWL #2: swiss chard, red leaf lettuce, shaved carrot, red bell pepper, steamed broccoli, italian dressing, and a Dr. Prager’s veggie burger.
Dessert:
Banana Protein Bread topped with my special peanut butter sauce: peanut flour, almond milk, cinnamon, and stevia.
I hope you can find some inspiration here! Thanks to all of your inspiration, I’m trying my first kabocha squash today – can’t wait! I’ll let you all know how it turns out…
Cheers to breaking out of a food rut,
