Overnight Oats: Peanut Butter & Banana

I am back with my Overnight Oats kick!!!

If you have been reading or following me on Facebook and Instagram, I went on an Overnight Oats obsession a while back. I made those bad boys multiple times a week. But due to over exposure, they died out for me. Plus if I eat the same thing over and over, I tend to get tired with it.

But I was looking the other day for something to make for breakfast that was quick and easy. Yesterday, since I ran in the morning and then had to go right to work right after, I knew I wasn't going to have time to make my egg whites. And I didn't want waffles or cereal, so I grabbed my old friends, Old Fashioned Oats.

And then this baby was created, one of the best ones yet, if I do say so myself.

I couldn't find the tops to my mason jars, random I know, so I mixed everything into a tupperwear container with a lid. It worked just as great, if not even better!


1/4 cup of Old Fashioned Oats (not cooked)-2pp
2 Tablespoons of PB2-1pp
1 container of Yoplait Light Banana Cream Pie Light Yogurt-2pp
1 Tablespoon of Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk-0pp
1 Banana, cut up into pieces
1 Tablespoon of Chia Seeds-1pp (not shown)

Mix everything together in your storage of choice and put in the fridge until the morning.

Don't heat up, just eat cold. I know it seems crazy and different, but I promise you, it is a GameChanger!!


After my run, I was able to make my coffee and throw this into my lunch bag and bring to work with me. It was filling and super yummy! The chia seeds made the mixture bulk up a bit and the PB2 gave it a perfect PB taste. Note, I did not add water to the PB2, I just used it in its powder form, mixing it in with the yogurt and milk, gave it is texture.

Overnight Oats are back in my life again. I find it a great way to get in some protein when I use Greek yogurt, some fruit and even dairy. The chia seeds are an added bonus. But these will be perfect for those early morning runs or coming back from a long one.

I think I have some other ones in mind and adding protein powder too, it give it more staying power.

This one was definitely inspired by the King, Himself, I think he would have approved :0)




Okay side note, while searching for an Elvis and Peanut Butter with Banana sandwich picture, yes I did put that in the Google search box, these came up...


HOLY CRAP!!!!!! Where the heck can I find these???!! This would be a total cheat meal for me!!!! Omg! Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Banana. My mouth is literally watering...

sadly these were introduced in 2007...womp womp womp..

But I did have this at Yogurtology last night...

And I was all SHOOK UP!!!

Like what I did there!

Have a happy Breakfast!!

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look
