    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!

    Did your hair stop growing? Mine was stuck at the Did your hair stop growing?

Mine was stuck at the same length too for a while. But now I know your scalp is an extension of your skin and needs to be nourished and taken care of in order for healthy hair growth. The scalp ages 6x faster than the skin on your face 🤯 it needs love and care, too. Especially if you want length and strength.

My hair oil is unique and made of different botanicals, antioxidants, omegas and nutrients your scalp is craving. If your hair is struggling but you eat healthy, you may want to consider a hair oil to fill in the gaps. I’ve noticed new thickness and growth from it being nourished and fed nutrients from within. The SHINE is the most surprising part!!! It’s honestly jaw-dropping. It keeps getting better because it’s a LIQUID VITAMIN for all hair types.
 
Figuring out the right custom plan for you is key. I want to help customize a plan for you because everyone should experience these results.

I don’t need to be a girl boss or CEO of a company that separates us all day. I’m a mommy first and I sell shampoo, second. It’s actually the best of both worlds because I get to raise her and also have an income of my own.

There will always be some new trend or way to make money online. But are they sustainable? Or just a way to make a quick buck? One thing we all have in common is we all want to build a long-term sustainable business to make an income from home! We all sell shampoo, we all want different things for our families and we all took a leap of faith in starting our beauty businesses. And we all started somewhere. Instead of chasing the newest ways to make money, it’s so much more authentic to share something you love and use daily 👄🧴🫧🧖‍♀️

No daycare or nanny, it’s all from my phone. Now you do have to put in time and work for it to work, but it’s such a blessing. I’m so grateful every single day.
