Today's breakfast is an all-time favorite. I never did understand why pumpkin is a fall thing. If they sell it in March, I will buy.
Pumpkin spiced latte chilled overnight oats
Night before, combine and mix:
1/3 c oats
1/2 c pumpkin (pure canned pumpkin, not pie filling)
1 scoop chocolate protein powder (SunWarrior brand)
3/4 c almond milk
1 tsp instant espresso
stevia, 1-2 servings
pinch sea salt
Next morning:
Add splash almond milk (if too thick)
1 tsp chia seeds (for crunch)
Devour!

In my lack of weekend posting, I have a few recipes to share with y'alllllz. I wish I could say I was out living it up, but sadly I was workkkkkking. Hospital shifts from 7am-8pm leave little brain power and I generally choose this over my computer.

You understand, right?
OK, onto some weekend eats!

How are you getting your week off on the right foot?

ReplyDeleteI started my week off with some circuit training first thing (The Shred) and am going to Whole Foods tonight to stock up on some healthy groceries!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how you manage to work these long shifts! Enjoy your days off!
ReplyDeleteI got my week off on the right foot by taking a nap this morning when the baby napped. It was glorious and much needed. Now I feel ready to take on the week!

ReplyDeleteI went for an hour long walk/jog with my dog so my week definitely got off on the right foot!
ReplyDeleteWith the breakfast you had this morning, I'd be shocked if you DIDN'T start your week off on the right foot!
ReplyDeleteAlso it's a known fact that wine solves anything. :)

ReplyDeleteI had my tonsils out on Friday and haven't been able to eat much, so looking at food posts was just too depressing. But I had to get my fix for just a little bit. Thanks! :)
