no time for breakfast? think again!

We all have those days, weeks, months, maybe even years that seem to only give us headaches. If we're not moving from one event to another, or working on an assignment until we must start another, we're entertaining family, talking friends through crises, or taking our four-legged family members to the vet. I know I deal with this on an almost daily basis-- working full-time, graduate school part-time, running, lifting... whew. Sometimes I don't know what day it is! When it gets crazy, there never seems to be enough time to eat the most important meal of the day: breakfast. But have no fear, KT is here to bring you an easy and quick breakfast that'll leave you enough time in the day to knock off your to-do list.

Overnight Oats (thanks to this girl for the inspiration)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (Trader Joe's has a nice big bag for not a lot)
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter of your choice
  • 1/2 - 1 cup almond milk (depending on your preference for texture, milk-y vs. pudding-y, and make sure to get the unsweetend flavor, we don't need no stinkin' sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal (you can try flaxseed oil, I just don't know how much!)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (your choice on flavor! We love Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard because it has whey protein isolates.)
Combine all ingredients in a tupperware, mix very, very well, and then refrigerate overnight. In the morning, mix well again, and add your desired toppings... my favorites include a mix of blueberries and strawberries with vanilla ice cream protein powder, or banana with caramel toffee fudge protein powder. Muy delicioso!

Welp, back to the Patriots game... and oh yeah, there's that pesky draft paper to write.

Jen, this one is for you... hope you enjoy!

Stay hungry, my friends.
