Overnight Oats Success!
After my recipe dreaming yesterday I thought I'd try something a little different for breakfast, so I made some overnight oats! After posting last night I had tucked into a couple of plums whilst watching Sophie Dahl and Heston Blumental's (the edible house was amazing!) cooking shows and they were so nice and perfectly ripe that I knew I fancied them for breakfast too.
Overnight Oats with Pecan Plum Crunch Topping
Regular oats and Jumbo oats
Tablespoon of chia seeds
Water to cover the oats and chia seeds
A dash of hazelnut and almond rice milk
Mix together in a bowl and cover, then leave in fridge overnight.
In the morning add the topping:
2 tablespoons of grape nuts
2 chopped plums
6 Pecans crumbled
Drizzle of maple syrup
This was lovely! The oats and chia seeds absorb the water and rice milk and go all creamy. It saved me a bit of cooking time this morning too.
Mid morning I had a chopped apple sprinkled with cinnamon and maca powder and 2 babybel lights.
The maca powder and cinnamon with the apple was amazing! I'll be eating my apples like this all the time now!
Lunch was more lovely quinoa salad followed by a pear.
After my last meeting and before heading to the gym I had an apple pie nakd bar.
First time I've had this flavour before and its definitely my favorite flavour of the nakd bars, I love the cinnamon spice taste with the apple, delicious.
I hit the gym and did my usual hour of cardio intervals still maintaining my increased resistance and speed from this months training plan plus my abs exercises including the plank which although I can't time myself in the gym, I'm sure I'm able to maintain for longer now.
Dinner was a turkey steak covered in hot chilli powder and stir fried in strips served with mixed salad leaves, carrot, cucumber and spring onion with some light mayo on the side.
For something I'd pretty much thrown together this was really good, the chilli powder coating made the turkey extra yummy. Desert was more protein goo, chocolate mint flavour tonight!
Drinks - water, green tea, decaf tea
Well I'm not going to hang around tonight, I have to do dishes and tidy up the kitchen sort out my dinner for tomorrow and perhaps tackle a pile of ironing :-( I'm also a bit worried as tomorrow my cars going in for its MOT and service, I'm praying it doesn't result in a giant bill as I'm sure there's going to be a few things wrong with it! Keep your fingers crossed for me! Hope your week is going well, 3 down 2 to go! x
