What’s for Breakfast?! PB2, Chocolate, Banana Overnight Oats

Happy Friday everyone!! As I mentioned last week, I decided I would do a “What’s for Breakfast” post every now and then, just to mix it up a bit since I’m sure you’re getting bored of seeing what’s in my lunchbox every Friday 🙂

I’ve revisited an old post I did on overnight oats.  I thought it was so delicious that it needed to be re-posted.  I did change it up a bit by adding some maca powder, coconut shreds and cacao nibs for toppings.  This is  great recipe to make the night before, so you can wake-up to a super yummy, healthy breakfast in the morning.  If you haven’t tried overnight oats yet, it’s time!Print Recipe

Serves 1

1/2 ripe banana
1/4 ripe avocado
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 Tbsp PB2 – or natural peanut butter
1/2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1/4 cup dry (uncooked) gluten-free oats – I use Bob’s Red Mill
1 tsp maca powder – optional
Few drops of liquid stevia – optional

In a large cereal bowl, mash banana and avocado until it’s lump-free.  Add in the almond milk, yogurt, PB2 and cocoa powder, stir well.  Stir in the dry oats and maca powder.  Cover tightly with cellophane and refrigerate overnight.

The next morning, I take it out about half an hour before eating just to get the chill out.  You can eat them cold or warm up in the microwave.  I topped mine with half a banana, and a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut and cacao nibs.  So yummy and will keep you feeling full!Nutritional info per serving – without toppings
