I made my first overnight oats yesterday! I will be eating them soon, however I replaced the chia seeds with 2 teaspoons of peanut butter, about 10 semi sweet chocolate chips and added in nutmeg. My husband also purchased blueberries yesterday, so I will be adding that to boost flavor and fruit intake!
I followed this recipehttp://www.quakeroats.com/cooking-and-recipe/apple-cinnamon-overnight-oats.aspx
After adding milk, yogurt, and apples...
My attempt fully assembled, it looks pretty tasty!! (around 11 a.m yesterday morning)
My breakfast yesterday, 1 fried egg...in bacon grease...with basil, oregano, pepper, garlic powder and chili powder, 1/2 power bagel from Giant, 2 heaping tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt with a teaspoon of honey, and 1 large cup of coffee with probably 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar.
This was my first and only egg this entire week. Typically I will eat 2 eggs for breakfast everyday, I have been doing it for years. However I am trying to cut down to a carbs once a day, or if I have multiple carbs, they need to be whole carbs such as whole wheat, or a whole grain, and not a lot of them, just a little it. This way I am not cutting too much out at once and shocking my body, and then failing in the end. So cut out my white carbs (which turn to sugar) down to once a day, this should help a bit.
New year, new breakfast routine, going to stick with oatmeal for now made with milk, whole milk, because I don't drink it a lot, so if I do drink it, it will be whole...also my husband may have a little bit. Plus I will add fruit, for the last two days it has been a gala apple, 1/2 for breakfast, and the other 1/2 at snack with 2 Tblspns peanut butter. :-)
