I’m a biiiiig breakfast gal, and I enjoy eating it at any time of the day. But when I’m on the go, I need something easy that also is going to keep me full for several hours. My ultimate go to- peanut butter chocolate chip overnight oats with a banana on top!
I started making overnight oats in college, and just never loved them, but they were easy to take to clinicals or eat in between classes. Turns out I was really just doing it all wrong because you can pack a lot of flavor into a small tupperware container!
Peanut butter chocolate chip is a true love of mine, evident with my similar but hot version of peanut butter chocolate loaded oats. And with a banana on top, it’s unbeatable. It’s easy to pack extra protein into my oats by adding protein powder and some chia seeds. I always always use Orgain plant protein, it’s clean and delicious and 100% not chalky tasting.
You can easily make up 3-4 servings of these oats at once because they save wonderfully in the fridge. I prefer to store them in a wide mouth tupperware container because it allows for maximum scooping. Usually, I will mix them up in their own containers and then pop the lid right on, but if yours doesn’t have enough room for a lot of stirring, just make them in a bowl and transfer it to whatever container you like.
These peanut butter chocolate chip overnight oats are like 1.5 steps- mix it all up, add bananas on top, and pop it in the fridge! And enjoy!
