My friend and training buddy, Jordan, suggested I try overnight oats, so I thought I’d give it a go. I experimented with a few flavors and came up with two recipes for pretty universally liked flavors, banana bread and peanut butter chocolate! What an easy, flavorful and satisfying breakfast that is ready and waiting for you in the fridge. I’m always looking for convenient foods that I can take on the go with me in the morning. My favorite go-to breakfasts when on the run are oatmeal and Greek yogurt and these recipes combine those two, so what’s not to love?
