I really don't think there's anything more rewarding than reaping the fruits of your labor and realizing how god-damn good it tastes. For a while now I've been meal prepping most of my meals, just to do it. I would season my foods minimally and only really make or cook flavorful dishes maybe once a week and those would be the ones I'd post up on here. My lunches were generally very mundane with some form of peppered protein and steamed veggies. I know, so boring.
The main problem with this though? I started binging and I mean binging hard. While I was eating healthy for the most part, I almost always resorted to binging on sweets and all the restricted foods I told myself not to eat.
The solution to my problem? Meal prep food that I would enjoy and look forward to eating. Not only would I satisfy my cravings but I'll find satisfaction in knowing that I made this. So here it is, I think I've perfected the typical overnight oats recipe and made it something even Chloe (my food-sheltered classmate) said was amazing.
Here's what you'll need:
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 tbsp chia seeds
3 tbsp Optimum Nutrition Rocky Road protein powder (or any other chocolate flavor)
Mix all of these ingredients together in a jar. Leave in the fridge overnight and in the morning, top with fruits of your choice. I used blueberries, strawberries, bananas, granola and a tbsp of flaxseed meal to add more fiber in my diet!
Happy Thursday,
Theresa
