Chocolate Covered Strawberry Overnight Oats

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Overnight Oats?!

Who here loves breakfast but hates making it? I’m sure I’d like making it if I had more time in the mornings. As it usually happens, I just feel rushed and breakfast is the first thing off the table when my schedule is crunched. And how does that benefit anyone? It doesn’t, because I get grumpy and my stomach hurts and y’all have to deal with my hangry ass. Nobody wants that.

And so, I give you:

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Overnight Oats

2/3 c. organic strawberries, sliced
1 c. almond milk (or 2/3 c. milk and 1/3 c. yogurt)
½ c. steel cut oats
½ ripe banana, smashed up
1 T. chia seeds
2 t. unsweetened raw cacao powder
1-2 T. maple syrup
½  t. vanilla extract

PS that raw cacao powder has the highest antioxidant value of all the natural foods in the world.
Let that sink in:  I want you to eat chocolate. 😉

As a wellness & fitness coach, I want you to eat in the mornings. I think you will be able to make better decisions and create more badassery throughout the day when your stomach isn’t nagging at you. While I’m on the subject I also want you to eat WHEN YOU’RE HUNGRY. Anytime you’re hungry. Yeah, I said it.

This doesn’t mean go to town on the nearest donut box… although every once in a while I encourage you to eat one. It means making smart decisions about what you put in your body.

Eat simple. Eat clean. Eat until you’re full.

Simple rules.

Have an amazing Sunday!
