Grab + Go Recipe: Overnight Oats
Make life work for you while you sleep. This takes 2 min to prep and it’s packed with carbs, protein, a little bit of fat, and you can throw whatever you want on top, i.e. seeds, fruit, nuts. This grab-and-go is packed with protein, so you’ll feel satiated for a long time, and, depending on your toppings, it’s packed with vitamins and antioxidants.
1 16oz mason jar is 2 meals for me (1 meal for Colin). That’s 2 days where you don’t have to think about breakfast and you can spend that time doing, well, anything else! Save your time. Save your cash. Save your brain space.
GROCERY LIST
Organic Rolled Oats or Steel Cut Oats (Sam likes steel cut)
Organic Chia Seeds
Your favorite clean Plant-based Protein - we use Orgain Vanilla with Superfoods because it’s clean and we like the taste
Whatever toppings you want: blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, mango, apple, cinnamon, pumpkin seeds, nuts, hemp seeds, nut butter… you know - whatever you want
HOW TO
Fill a 16oz mason jar halfway with oats
Throw some chia seeds in for extra protein + hydration
Dump 1 scoop of plant-based protein powder into you jar
Pop the top on the jar, shake up your dry ingredients
Top off your jar up with your HOMEMADE NUT MILK (read this blog to learn how to make it yourself)
Pop that in the fridge overnight
Enjoy with toppings, or not 🤷♀️🤷♂️
Pro-Tip: Plant-based products are usually harder for your gut to digest than the real thang (i.e. meat), so you’ll want to take a probiotic and a digestive enzyme with any plant-based food. Orgain’s Superfood Plant-Based Protein has both.
