PB Chocolate Oatmeal!

bumpity bump bump!

1/3 C steel cut oats (instant)
1 C water
2 Tbl PB2 (peanut butter powder)
1 Tbl light maple syrup

215 Calories ... 9.4 gms protein, 5.8 gms fiber, 3.8 gms fat

In a small mason jar (size comparable to a PB jar) I add in this order:

1/3 cup almond milk (you can choose between unsweetened and the chocolate; at 1/3 cup, the difference is 25 calories)
1T unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned oats
1/4 cup greek fat free plain yogurt
1T chia seeds
4 to 6 T chocolate PB2
1 to 2 tsp honey

Close jar and shake until mixed nicely. Then add half a banana, sliced, and stir. Close jar, and let sit in the fridge overnight. You can let it chill for 2 or 3 days if you want, but this stuff is so delicious it is hard to not eat it as soon as it is ready.

For those who haven't seen overnight oats before, you may be hesitant to eat "uncooked" oats, or a oatmeal concoction served chilled. Do it once. You'll be a happier, healthier person. For people who like the idea of chocolate oatmeal, this will be better than your best imaginings.

With maximum ingredient amounts, this recipe comes in under 400 calories of healthy goodness. You can easily edit the sugar/PB2 to reduce calories to approx. 310 calories, or leave out the banana and bring the total in under 275. I recommend full amounts however. Perhaps the most delicious meal you will eat. Try it. Life will change.

Bump - I might try this with almond butter...

try it with powdered peanut butter and raw honey

sounds like I have a new breakfast plan.

I'm kind of intrigued but eating cold oatmeal doesn't sound good.

If you have ever wondered if there was something outside your life in the universe that was special and good but you didn't know where to look, this is your chance. You owe it to yourself to try it once. Make it, taste it, and if you don't like it you can throw it away. But you will like it, and you will speak the gospel according to refrigerated oats henceforth.
