Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

Don't throw out your almost empty container of nut butter! Make overnight oats right in the jar! This is a super easy clean eats recipe!

THE STUFF:

1 almost-empty jar of nut butter. You can use any kind you like: peanut, almond, sunflower seed, just as long as it's natural with no additives!

1/2 cup (1 serving) of your favorite style oats

1 cup of water

1 TBS chia seeds

1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt

1 banana, sliced

4 strawberries, sliced

6-8 raspberries

1 TBS hemp seeds

THE METHOD:

1. Throw oats, water, and chia seeds in almost empty nut butter jar (this was peanut butter), close lid, and leave in the fridge overnight. 

2. By the next day the oats and seeds absorb the water. Scrape the peanut butter remains from the jar and stir everything together. 

3. This step is totally optional, but I prefer my oats warm! Empty contents of jar in a small pan and cook on low heat for a few minutes until warm. (You can also warm in the microwave (throw it all in a bowl and cook for a few minutes), but be careful of overflow!

4. Pour oat mixture in a bowl and top with Greek yogurt, bananas, berries and hemp seeds.

You can top with any fruit you like! I don't like very sweet meals but you can sprinkle in a bit of natural sugar, like coconut sugar, if you prefer!!

Enjoy

Egg White Oats

After an intense workout, you need to properly refuel and nourish your body with good, clean food! Oatmeal is my favorite and I eat oats every morning! This simple recipe is as follows:

THE STUFF:

1/2 cup (1 serving) of old fashioned oats

1 cup water

3 egg whites

1 banana, sliced

1 TBS Peanut Butter and Company Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter (or any nut butter of your choice!)

THE METHOD:

1. Follow instructions for the oats and choose method: stovetop or microwave. I make 1 serving on the stovetop. Bring water to a boil and once boiling, add oats and egg whites.

2. Reduce to med-low heat and cook for 5 minutes or according to instructions/desired consistency. (For microwave you can throw it all in a bowl and cook on high for a few minutes stirring occasionally, but be careful of overflow.)

3. Top with banana and peanut butter.

You can top with any fruits you like! The PB makes this pretty sweet and I don't like very sweet meals, but you can sprinkle in a bit of natural sugar, like coconut sugar, if you prefer more sweetness!! Enjoy!
