I’ve been wanting to try overnight oats ever since I discovered this overnight magic-in-a-bowl from a friend. So last night around 9:30 I searched the internet for instructions on how to make these ‘infamous’ overnight oats. As expected, there are a variety of recipes to choose from; unfortunately, I only had the bare essentials most of these recipes called for in my fridge. I recently picked up some unsweetened, coconut and vanilla flavored almond milk from the store and thought it would go well with my overnight oats. So I combined 1 cup of the almond milk with 1/2 a cup of oats, 1 teaspoon of chia seeds, and some cinnamon. I covered it up with some aluminum foil and put it on the bottom shelf of my fridge. I was so excited to witness this overnight magic for myself this morning, only to find my overnight oats tasted like powder…which is strange considering the oats are soaked in almond milk. Maybe it’s the almond milk? Maybe I should add yogurt next time as several of the recipes suggested? Oh well, next time I won’t decide to try a new recipe so late that my ingredient options are limited to what I have in stock.
I have an hour break for lunch and fortunately I work close enough to my apartment that I am able to come home. Today I made veggie omelet with spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, green onions, and avocado. I added in some freshly grated pepper jack cheese for a little kick.
No workout today! Just hanging out with Rob and our little guy, LeRoy. Look at that cute face!
