High Protein Vegan Overnight Oats
May 29, 2012 4 Comments
Seriously Emily is the best! She took our ideas and went with them and we are so happy with the results. Hope you guys like it too.
The other day I posted about this recipe and said a formal recipe was to follow.
Well here it is!
Bill and I just love overnight oats. We prep them for the whole week on a Sunday night. Just takes a second to do and then each morning we grab our deliciousness and head to work. We have blogged about another version but we like this version because the extra protein adds a bit more staying power and the vanilla flavor powder adds a hint of vanilla creaminess which can’t be beat.
| High protein vegan overnight oats |
- ½ cup Bob’s Old Red Mill Muesli
- 1 cup almond, hemp, or coconut milk
- ½ Banana
- 1 scoop vanilla vegan protein powder.
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon chia seeds
- Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix.
- “Cook” overnight in the refrigerator.
- Next morning top cold oats with almond or cashew butter and fresh berries.
Even though the recipe calls for it to “cook” overnight in the refrigerator, here is our version without cooking it and topped with some granola.
Both ”cooked” and non cooked are equally delicious.
And If you have not used Bob’s Red Mill Muesli before, we highly recommend it! Way better than plain oats.
Hope your week is off to a good start

Sometimes being unmotivated leads to greatness
May 28, 2012 12 Comments
Yesterday I woke up feeling a bit unmotivated and sore due to my Brick workout on Saturday.
Bill left bright and early on the group ride and I mulled around the house a bit. I knew that if I got my running clothes on I would be golden. I really wanted to get out and get a long run in.
So I turned to my trusty Lululemon clothes to get me feeling good.

Nothing like a cute outfit to help with motivation.
Works every time!
I ended up getting in 10 miles and I felt pretty good. I tried not to focus on speed and just cruise.

Today after this wonderful cup of joe and this fabulous vegan oats Bill made us (recipe to come!) we are off to conquer some more miles.


Lately, I have been averaging about 35 miles of running a week with one decent bike ride thrown in. I have been feeling good
How have you been feeling on your workouts?
Anything fun planned for your memorial day?
We are lying low and enjoying the good weather.
On a side not, if this old bloggy goes dormant today, it is because she is finally getting her face lift! Emily at Emily White Designs has been the working genius behind the scenes. Hope you like the new look when it pops up!

In a recent post of mine, I mentioned that I was thinking of competing in a Duathlon on June 10. Well I am still thinking about it fairly seriously. A duathlon is like a triathlon except you just bike and run instead of bike, run, swim. Since I have been biking and running I figured why not … Continue Reading

We have already had some coffee with some Giro watching and some pumpkin oats in a jar. Yes I know it is not … Continue Reading

Just when the hustle and bustle of the end of the school year is upon me I try to take moments in each day and savor every hectic second. You see this is what we all wait for-the end is near and sweet reprieve from the everyday humdrum of life is ending and summer is almost upon us. Time to … Continue Reading
