3-Minute Meal Prep Breakfast: Overnight Oats

3-Minute Meal Prep Breakfast: Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are my go-to breakfast, because they are: 1. Easy to prepare before bed. 2. Tasty enough to eat every morning. 3. Super customizable and creamy. I like making 2 batches on Sunday night, then bringing both jars to work on Monday morning. My absolute favorite way to eat them is with powdered peanut butter, chocolate chips, and a fresh banana sliced in. It tastes like dessert, and keeps me full and satiated until lunch. Try these oats, you won’t regret it!

Savory Sweet Potato Spinach Buddha Bowl

Savory Sweet Potato Spinach Buddha Bowl

This is not the meal I intended to make. I had my sights set on a quinoa, chickpea, spinach bowl with a tangy, citrus, olive oil dressing. As I started to cook (aka pulled out a pot), I realized I didn't buy quinoa. Okay, no worries, can totally do without it - I'll just switch it to a hearty sweet potato black bean bowl. Started to get going on that (aka grabbed the can of black beans), when I realized that the kitchen I'm using doesn't have a can opener... slightly bigger problem. I considered taking a stab at opening the can with a knife, but visions of slicing my hand open quickly took me in a different direction.
