Peanut, banana and cacao refrigerated oats

I have started the new year trying to eat healthier and to try and work out 3-4 times a week. At the moment I'm doing well. But it's only the 10th January!

I really struggle eating breakfast for 3 reasons - 

I have to leave for work at 8am and have lots of things to do before leaving

I can't stomach anything heavy very early 

I also can't be bothered to faff about making something

These are probably the same excuse for you reading this too..

But wait I think I have the answer. Peanut, banana and cacao refrigerated oats.

It's healthy, quick and is all ready for you in the morning. Perfect

Ingredients- 

1/2 cup of oats 

1/2 cup of almond milk (you can use any milk you prefer)

1 Tbsp Cacao powder (or cocoa powder)

1 Tbsp Smooth Peanut butter (crunchy if you prefer) 

1 Tbsp honey 

1 chopped banana

Optional 

1 Tsp Flax and Chia seeds 

Fruit to top and chopped dark chocolate to top 

Recipe- 

This is the easy bit. Place the oats, almond milk, cacao powder, peanut butter, honey, flax seeds and banana in a plastic container and mix together. I don't add the banana at this point. I prefer them chopped up on top. Put in the fridge overnight. 

In the morning take them out of the fridge, top with fresh banana or if you want a cheeky treat some chopped dark chocolate. 

So there you go-  the easiest, tasiest and healthiest start to those early mornings.

Let me know how you get on.

Much love,
