Overnight Oats
Overnight oats are an easy way to get fiber and carbs into your diet. I love oats to keep me fueled when I am on a regular exercise schedule. They keep me full and curb my sweet tooth. I like my oats mixed in with a bunch of different yummies additives
Easy Recipe
oats: my personal favorite gluten-free brand is Seven Sundays but you can use something as simple as steel cut oats, you can follow the recipe on the box or I just eyeballl a 1-1 ratio with a little extra dash of plant-based milk
milk: I prefer plant-based milk (macadamia, oat, and flax are my favorites), again just a 1-1 ratio with the oats plus a small extra dash (~2-3 tbsp extra)
extra flavor: vanilla extract (1 tsp)
mix and let sit in a container in the refrigerator over night, add toppings in the morning
Additional Toppings
chia seeds/chia seed pudding (see recipe below)
plant-based yogurt
gluten free granola
flax seed
dried coconut
honey, stevia, or maple syrup sweetener
sunflower seeds or other seeds/nuts
nut butter
fresh berries
dried goji berries
cacao nibs
cinnamon
Chia Seed Pudding
I love chia seed pudding! It is so easy to make, high in fiber, yummy, and overall really good for you! I love to make a bunch of it all at once for about 3-4 servings throughout the week. If the consistency becomes too thick or thin throughout the week, you can always adjust it.
Easy Recipe
chia seeds: make sure to buy organic, a good rule of thumb is for every 2 tbsp of chia seeds add a half cup of milk
milk: I prefer plant-based milk (macadamia, oat, and flax are my favorites), again just add half a cup of milk for every 2 tbsp of chia seeds
extra flavor: consider mixing in one of the following: matcha powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, honey, nutmeg
mix and let sit in a container in the refrigerator over night, add toppings in the morning
Additional Toppings
chia seeds/chia seed pudding (see recipe below)
pumpkin puree
plant-based yogurt
gluten free granola
flax seed
dried coconut
honey, stevia, or maple syrup sweetener
sunflower seeds or other seeds/nuts
nut butter
fresh berries
dried goji berries
cacao nibs
cinnamon
Easy Egg Frittata
This recipe is great if you’re more of a savory morning breakfast person. I again like to make more than just 1 serving at a time so that I don’t have to prepare something daily. This easy recipe is filling and high in protein!
Easy Recipe
preheat oven to 400 degrees
eggs: a good rule of thumb is 2 eggs for every 1/2 cup of vegetables, I like to use 8-10 eggs and fill a baking dish that can make 6-8 servings, whisk eggs until they are fluffy
chop up vegetables: my go-to vegetables are broccoli, green onions, asparagus, spinach, onions, garlic, mushrooms
sauté vegetables: the length of time sautéing depends on the vegetable (green onions and chickpeas do not need to be sautéd) but anywhere from 5-10 minutes
side note: I am extra lazy and actually don’t sauté ANY of my vegetables and it still tastes great to me!
pour vegetables into greased or non-stick baking dish, disperse evenly, pour whisked eggs over veggies and gently shake dish until all ingredients are dispersed evenly
add spices: I keep mine real simple, adding just a big 3-finger pinch of himalayan sea salt, pepper, and sometimes cumin or red chili flakes
bake for 15-25 minutes (depending on how many eggs you use) or until top is golden brown
top with cheese or green onions
Additional Ingredients and Toppings
cheese
nut cheese
cilantro
green onions
chick peas
bell peppers
avocado
