Crunchy & Crispy

Hey Happy Wednesday! If you're new around here head over to Jenn's blog and join in on the What I Ate Wednesday Party.

And I did alot of eating yesterday. See for yourself.

Breakfast was a very peanut butter one yesterday! I had my usual overnight oats, but added way too much peanut butter to the mix. So every bite had a TON of peanut butter...I'm not complaining ;)
Sandwiches are my favorite thing lately. Maybe because I'll go months without eating them and then eat them everyday. Check out how big this baby was!
Tomatoes, lettuce, no salt deli turkey, and everything hummus were stuffed into this bad boy. So tasty!
My stomach started grumbling in the afternoon so frozen fruit was my snack yesterday. I defrosted some blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and cherries in the microwave. Love how convenient frozen bags are.

How I Make My Oats

A couple of you guys have asked me how I make my overnight oats and I realized I never shared the secret with you ;)
It's really simple and takes me under five minutes to make breakfast every morning or night depending on how lazy I get at night.

So in my oats goes:
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • almond milk
The almond milk always goes unmeasured because I just pour a little bit in at a time until I get the right consistency. I am pretty picky with my oats. I'm not a fan of them runny. Designer Whey gourmet's chocolate flavor is my favorite, tastes like dessert.
If I make them the night before, I just let them chill in a covered bowl overnight and then eat them cold. If I make them in the am, then I do my little freezer trick to help thicken them up a bit.
