    Banana Chocolate Overnight Oats

    Feb 25, 2015 • Breakfast, Chocolate, Follicular Phase, Luteal Phase, Menstrual Phase

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

     

     Banana Chocolate Overnight Oats - vegan, gluten free, low fat and super healthy, with a chocolate twist! This yummy breakfast tastes like a treat but is energizing, filling and packed with healthy ingredients.

    This little jar of chocolate heaven is like eating dessert for breakfast.

    (but not) because it’s low fat and super healthy.

    Overnight oats are one of my favorite things to mix up because you can create it to fit your needs for the next morning. Have a long day ahead? Add chia seeds and maca powder for balanced energy levels all day. I love adding super foods to everything; many of my recipes have added super foods because why not? Why not give your body an extra power boost and take advantage of the best foods available?!

    The flavor combo of banana and chocolate is nothing new, but it’s so perfect to have mixed in a jar for breakfast, if you love the combination. 

    With layers of filling oats, nourishing chia seeds, creamy almond milk, antioxidant-packed cacao powder, sweet banana pieces and warming vanilla extract, this will taste like a morning treat that you very much deserve! 

    Plus, these Banana Chocolate Overnight Oats let me get away with a healthy, lazy, no-effort breakfast.

    I’ve been feeling super lazy in the kitchen this week and looking for all the easy outs ha. I’m calling it the winter blues and the “I don’t feel like cooking” lazy mentality. There’s been lots of behind the scenes changes happening here on the blog (all good things!) but they seem to bring up new issues (as usual) so much of my time has been figuring out all the little no-fun details that no blogger wants to take care of but are totally necessary to keep the blog afloat, hence the much-needed lazy breakfasts! I try my best to research all that I can and handle most things by myself but I’m no tech genius so sometimes one small issue can take up the entire day. 

    So for all you super-busy but still want to be healthy type of people, this jar of goodness will serve you well 🙂

    Banana Chocolate Overnight Oats - vegan, gluten free, low fat and super healthy, with a chocolate twist! This yummy breakfast tastes like a treat but is energizing, filling and packed with healthy ingredients.

    For all you protein-powder lovers, I added a new ‘Chocolate Maca’ sprouted superfood protein powder I’ve been loving, on top of all the other yummy ingredients. My take on protein powders is this: While I don’t deem them entirely necessary and only eat them on occasion, I do love the super foods and nourishing ingredients they offer. I believe we can get all of our protein needs from whole foods so supplementing with a powder isn’t important to me but I do like experimenting and sharing which ones I think are best. 

    Epic-Protein-Chocolate-Maca-1lb-910x910

     

    Why do I love this EPIC Sprout Living Vegan Protein Powder?

    • 100% plant based, raw, vegan, non-GMO, hypo-allergenic, and soy-free ingredients
    • 19 grams per serving of high quality, vegan protein from four plant sources
    • Complete amino acid profile with a balanced ratio of BCAAs for optimal protein synthesis
    • Creamy texture, rich real flavor and full-bodied sweetness with no ‘fake’ aftertaste
    • Potent superfood blend including antioxidant-rich cacao and adaptogenic maca root
    • No ?natural? flavoring, ?other ingredients? or additives whatsoever

    Here are the ingredients: Sprouted Brown Rice, Yellow Pea, Sacha Inchi, Cranberry Seed, Cacao, Maca Root, Ceylon Cinnamon, Lucuma Fruit, Heirloom Red Banana, Jerusalem Artichoke, Baobab Fruit, Himalayan Pink Sea Salt, and Stevia Leaf. It’s quite the impressive list. Sounds good right?! I especially love the taste and I think of it as a super food powder rather than a protein powder 🙂

     I couldn’t stop saying “Mmm Hmm” while eating this haha – it’s not too chocolately because it is breakfast, but it tastes sinful enough to be a treat. That is a win-win. You must try this tomorrow morning!

        Hey Chrissie! I don’t have specific nutrition facts for my recipes… I never count anything and would rather count colors instead. Everything in this recipe is a “whole food” so no need to worry about specific numbers!! 🙂

      What brand of cacao powder do you use? I’ve never bought it before and when I was shopping today all I was finding was organic cacao powder made by Navitas Naturals. Their powder had a terrifying warning printed on it about the product containing a chemical known to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. I’m not pregnant but that still freaked me out!

      I appreciate it!

        Hi Kandice! I use this cacao powder: http://amzn.to/2axcwEB I have never seen that warning before on any cacao powder brand and have never heard that cacao causes birth defects so I’m not sure what to tell you about that but I love cacao and use it often for desserts, oats, hot chocolate etc.

          Hi Shannon – just have some follow up for you. I thought it was so strange that my packaging had that warning and yours didn’t, so I did a little research. Apparently, the packaging is different because I live in California. California passed Proposition 65 which legally requires manufacturers to place that warning on the packaging whereas Illinois (and other states) do not. Just thought it was interesting & wanted to share! 🙂

      Hi!! Thank you for sharing, and being a great source for helping the world become cruelty free <3

      Which Maca powder do you get and where do you get it from?? I'm trying to stock up on all the things ive never bought, so the transition to vegan will be smoother for me.

      This sounds so good, I have been meaning to try overnight oats for a while but I just don’t know how I feel about cold oatmeal. Would it still be good if I heat it up in the morning?

        Hey Jackie – I know what you mean, it’s a little strange at first but now I love it. I’m sure you could quickly warm it up over the stove and it would work just fine although I’ve never tried it. I just like the overnight oats for convenience purposes, less dishes and to get in extra chia seeds for the day. Let me know if you try it!

        The only time I’ve ever felt oveatcrffeina-ed was when I made some cold-filtered coffee (for iced coffee in the summer) and accidentally used twice as much as I should have. I have never felt so perky for such a long time :DThe cupcakes look great, Katie!

      This looks sooo good! I am going to make this now so I can eat it in the morning. I don’t have any dairy free choc chips but might throw in some cacao nibs instead 🙂 can’t wait to eat it!

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
