The most important thing is there is no cooking required. First things first: peanut butter and oats normally contain dense calories, so keep in mind not to use sugar-added peanut butter. When I started to take that in the morning, it reduced my mid-morning cravings and also stopped my overeating later in the day.
Ingredients:
- 2 or 3 cup of oatmeal
- 1 or 2 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or another low-calorie milk alternative)
- 1 or 2 small ripe banana (sliced)
- 1 or 2 tablespoon of neutral peanut butter (no added sugar)
- 1 or 2 teaspoon of chia seeds
- Optional: 1 or 2 teaspoon of honey
Instructions:
Mix Ingredients:
Take a small-sized jar, put the oats in that, then add some milk. Then add some peanut butter and chia seeds, and mix them really well. Make sure that the peanut butter is mixed well. After that, add my favorite banana slices.
Refrigerate Overnight:
Cover the jar and let it rest in the fridge overnight for a minimum of 4 hours, so the oats and chia seeds can absorb the water and get soft.
Assemble:
In the morning, get the jar from the fridge, take your spoon, mix it a little bit, and don’t wait—just start to eat it.
