Breakfast! Overnight Oats in a Jar



As some of you may know, I don't really cook.  Overnight Oats in a jar is perfect for someone like me.  There's no cooking involved!  The whole process takes maybe ten minutes at most and you do this the night before so there's no rush in the morning to "make breakfast".

My favorite thing about Overnight Oats is how much it tastes like dessert.  I have a sweet tooth so this satisfies my morning sweet tooth craving.

The ingredients are simple and I purchased most of these items at Target or Whole Food.  Please note that you do not have to follow my recipe, you can adjust it to your own liking.  Bananas and strawberries not your favorite?  Maybe blueberries are more your thing?  Go for it.  Change it up to what you prefer.  This is just how I like to make mine.


Ingredient List- 1/4 cup of Quick Oats, 4 ounces of Almond Milk, one scoop of Whey Protein, 1 teaspoon of Sliced Almonds & Dried Cranberries, Pinch of Cinnamon, few drops of Vanilla Extract, Half A Banana, Four Strawberries, Teaspoon of Organic Brown Sugar.



First thing I do is to cut up the strawberries and banana into bite size.  You'll also need a jar.  I picked mine from Target.  They sell them in a set of four and they're also dishwasher safe.



Measure out 1/4 cup of Quick Oats.  One scoop of the whey protein.  (The one I have comes with a plastic scoop.  One serving of the whey protein gives you 16 grams.)  I don't always use a full scoop, sometimes I'll do half or 3/4 of a scoop.  


Measure out 4 oz of unsweetened almond milk.  


I like to add a teaspoon of brown sugar because cinnamon and sugar goes so well together.  The cinnamon gets added at the end.  Now you don't have to follow these instructions.  Not a fan of brown sugar?  You can use your own sweetener or don't use a sweetener if you don't want to!  


Dump all the ingredients into the jar and mix until the sugar has dissolved.  



After you're done mixing, add the fruit.




Add in your choice of nuts.  I usually just add enough to sprinkle the top with a layer of almonds and cranberries.  And a pinch or two of cinnamon if you like.  Here is where I'll sometimes add a few drop of vanilla extract for a little bit more flavor.  


When everything is in, give the screw the lid on and give it a good shake so everything is mixed in.  You're almost there.  Put the jar into your refrigerator overnight.


And voila!  Breakfast!  I promise it tastes super yummy!

  1. This is my daughter's favorite breakfast (without protein powder). I put honey instead of brown sugar.

Review! Coach Soft Empire Carryall 40 Merlot

  I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...

Review! Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Size Small Plus Video

  You all know I love my bags, and as a Balenciaga collector, I don't often stray from the City and First style. The Rodeo (pronounced like Rodeo Drive) really caught my eye. It gives off a slouchy Hermes Kelly vibe, but way more practical to use.  For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall. Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Small The Rodeo can be carried a few ways. It comes with a crossbody strap that is not adjustable but it is removable. Not sure why anyone wouldn't add a few extra holes to make a strap adjustable these days. Come on Balenciaga! Do better! The top handle is a bit too long for this to work anyhow, I feel like the top handle gets in the way. It sticks out and doesn't sit well in my opinion. I wouldn't carry this bag crossbody unless it was an unforeseen emergency and I really needed my hands free. This bag looks more chic carried by the handle or crook of the arm. It also looks nice left open with the help of the flap tucked in. The Rodeo resembles the Kelly bag ...

Fit Review Friday! Allbirds Tree Glider

  Hi everyone! I'm posting from New Orleans. I'm hitting up a Lululemon while I'm here. I always like to visit other Lululemon stores when I'm traveling. I was planning on having an Aviator Nation review for you guys but Hurricane Helene threw my plans out the window. So I will try and have it up when I get back to Atlanta. In the meantime, here's an Allbirds review.  For reference my street size is 5.5. I'm usually a 5.5 in Allbirds, but for the Tree Gliders they run large. I took these in a size 5.
