High Protein Vegan Overnight Oats

I am glad my blog facelift launched without a hitch.

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.

Serves: 1
Higher protein easy overnight oats
Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. Put all ingredients in a bowl and mix.
  2. “Cook” overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. 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

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!

Happy Memorial Day friends!

Run like you stole it

A few weeks ago Bill ran into the owner of Salt Sticks (Jonathan Toker) at the Xterra Malibu Creek race. Jonathan was very gracious, and sent Bill a bottle to try out. Yesterday Bill raced the Pacific Coast Trail Race and he ended up doing very well! I asked him if he would recap the race for us … Continue Reading

On again off again

Why is it that some weeks you feel like you are on FIRE and others you don't? Last week was one of those weeks that I felt unstopable when it came to my running and working out in general. In fact, I ran four 7 mile runs in a row and then rode my bike 68 miles and then ran again 5 miles on … Continue Reading

She can make you hot

Bill and I do not watch much TV.  In fact, we don't even have cable TV.  We started to feel like we were paying a rather large sum of money for very little TV watching.  So instead we subscribe to Netflix and Hulu and watch the shows we want with very little commercials.  We do not feel … Continue Reading

What’s in your cycling jersey?

One of the things I took with me on my ride this Saturday were these gems. Probar was kind enough to send Bill and I a nice box of the assorted flavors. Bill and I consume a lot of energy bars.  Since we pack lunch and snacks 5 days out of the week, having bars on hand are a necessity.  … Continue Reading
