Today I tried my first overnight oats. Immediately I didn't like them cold, but warming them up made them more palatable. Lacking any sweetness was hard but they WERE incredibly filling. Especially given there is only 4 tablespoons of oats and half a cup of milk per serve (along with coconut, almonds, cacao powder, and cacao nibs). I found I couldn't eat the last bite I was just so full! That's what you want out of a breakfast, isn't it? If there's a time to eat your carb serving within your low carb food intake then I think breakfast is the time to do it. If it gets me through to lunch time I'll be really happy! There are two more serves of that kind in the fridge, then I'll be making the banana chia ones. Today was also my first taste of cacao nibs and I really enjoyed them! I sprinkled them on top and enjoyed the crunchiness, I can see a lot of ways I can add them to other foods in the future. Yum!
For lunch today I have that slice I made yesterday in the fridge with a salad, and for dinner I'll be using up the remaining ricotta cheese, a roast beetreet, in a roast tomato zucchini pasta which I may toss a veggie chicken schnitzel through. I'm aware they fall under processed food but I'm not eating them everyday and they're handy when I don't have chicken in the freezer. For energy snacks if needed throughout the day I have homemade flax crackers and key lime balls. And as always, plenty of water!
