Last night I made overnight oats for the first time. I'd been reading about them for forever and never had the nerve to try them but last night I decided I was bored of granola, yogurt and frozen blueberries. I wanted to keep it simple my first time but I took the plunge and now see speedy breakfasts in my future!
My Plain Jane Overnight Oats had:
1/2 cup of rolled oats
1/2 cup of plain Horizon yogurt (just can't seem to join the Greek fan club!)
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 of a super ripe banana
4 or 5 strawberries
I have to admit when first looking at this mixture I thought I should add more oats and maybe a squirt of agave but resisted. So glad! These turned out so good! The texture was perfect and the fruit was just sweet enough. I used regular milk cause that's the only thing I had but I think I should try some almond milk next time. And I want to try it with pumpkin! Possibilities...
Last night my friend that I'm doing the training group with and I made a plan to meet up before the group. I'm in a training all week that keeps me later than normal so I told him I would bring my stuff with me to work and go straight there. Well... I got all my stuff together last night, looped the bag on my front door knob, and left it there! I mean, I touched it as I was leaving! So now I'll be having a nice workout at home sans friend. It's ok, I'm sure CutCut will appreciate the company...

Yay for a success on the oats! I still have not tried those b/c I think I would hate the consistency. Is it as ultra mushy as I think or more like cold creamy oatmeal? The ingredients list make it seem really yummy, I may just have to give in!
