Overnight Oats

Thanks to Julie over at Peanut Butter Fingers I decided to try something new for breakfast this morning.  I made a bowl of overnight oats! I will admit that I have been reading Julie's blog for awhile now and every time I see her eating overnight oats I think how easy they would make breakfast, but for some reason I haven't taken the plunge and actually tried them!  I decided that these would make for a good breakfast this week since it is a shorter work week and I didn't want to have to buy a ton of groceries that I may or may not use.

Overnight Oats:

1 6oz container of Chobani Strawberry-Banana Yogurt
1/4c Skim milk
1/2c old fashioned oatmeal

Mix everything together and refrigerate overnight.  It was so yummy this morning!  I had a banana too once I got to work, but I am pretty sure the banana would be good in the actual oatmeal as well.  I can't wait to experiment with this general concept :)

Favorite Things--October Edition

Yes, I do know that it is now November 21 and I am way behind on my blog, but life has been a little crazy this past month.

1. Kashi Peanutty Dark Chocolate bar

I got this bar before my mom and I traveled to Grand Cayman in early October because I thought it would be a good choice to satisfy my sweet tooth and also something to help me stay full in the afternoons.  I love all Kashi products and this one surely didn't disappoint.  The nutritional information isn't bad either for an afternoon snack. 

2. Kashi Dark Chocolate Coconut

I read about this bar on a message board and thought that it sounded really good.  I love coconut, but my mom does not so I waited until I got back from my trip to buy them.  Again, delicious!! The nutritional information is pretty similar between both bars so I recommend trying which ever one sounds best to you!  I love to throw one into my lunch bag so an easy afternoon snack.

PS: Kashi currently has a coupon available on their website for $1.50 on 2 boxes
