Meal Prep and Overnight Oats

With our busy school schedules we have turned our sundays in to study time and meal prep day! It is nice to spend time in the kitchen together while we both help out with the prep work.

Almond Joy Oats:
1 Scoop Chocolate Whey Protein

For this recipe, I got it from 
Undressed Skeleton, she has some great recipes! 
    1 Cup Unsweetened Organic Coconut
    1 Large Banana (Extra Ripe)
    1 Cup Whole Grain Oats 
    1 Tbsp Organic Vanilla Extract 
    1/2 Cup Ground Flax Seed 
    1/4 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk2 Tbsp Mini Vegan Chocolate Chips
     1 Packet Truvia (Your Choice Of Sweetener)
*I skipped the chocolate chips and truvia
 and instead added 1 Scoop of Chocolate Whey Protein* 


Bake @ 350 for 11-13 minutes 




Banana chocolate oatmeal muffins: 
1 1/2 scoops vanilla protein
 1 cup quick oats (slap chopped or in the food processor)
 1 1/2 bananas mashed
 1 1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
 1/8 baking powder
1 egg
1 egg white
Bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes.




Cinnamon spiced chia overnight oats:
 3/4 cup hot chia tea
 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
 Cinnamon

 Apple-butter banana overnight oats: 
2 tbsp organic apple butter
 1/2 banana 
all spice
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
3/4 (or 1 cup) of quick oats
wheat germ



Overnight Oats: 

1 cup of quick oats
 2 bananas
 1 scoop of banana protein powder
 unsweetened coconut flakes
3/4 unsweetened almond milk
 3/4 plain Greek yogurt (it said to use vanilla, but I just used plain)
 set in fridge overnight and they will be ready in the morning






1 can of organic pumpkin (not the pumpkin mix)
1 1/2 scoops of vanilla protein powder (I added that instead of 1 1/4 cup of sugar)
1 cup of whole wheat flour
 2/3 cup of quick oats
1/2 cup of applesauce (I used that instead of a 1/2 cup of vegetable oil)
 3 egg whites (instead of 2 eggs)
 1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup of water
 1 tsp baking soda
 1/2 tsp of salt 
bake at 350 for 10-12 mins
 (but I had to bake mine for longer, 20 mins. I think it's because of the apple sauce)


Mason Jars are great for salads and for the oats: 
Chickpeas 
Tomatoes
Red Onion 
Cucumber 
Feta Cheese
Spinach

  1. I tried an apple cinnamon overnight oat recipe that I found on Pinterest - it was really good but a little soupy. I want to try your Chai one - that sounds delicious!
