Raspberry Nut Overnight Oats

Has anybody ever tried overnight oats?  They are becoming a favorite of my husband's.  I prep one daily for his breakfast and it only takes a matter of minutes to do so.  On my meal prep Sundays, I do prep the toppings of raspberries and almonds in containers so that it saves me from doing that every day.  This recipe is basic and super easy!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
5 oz plain Greek yogurt (we use Chobani)
1 tbsp maple syrup
8 raspberries
12 almonds

Instructions:
1. In a cup, mix together the oats, almond milk, and yogurt.
2. Drizzle with maple syrup.
3. Cover and let it soak overnight.
4. In the morning, warm it up and top with raspberries and almonds.

Nana Ice Cream

This is my favorite dessert when I have time, and I do not feel one bit guilty about eating it.

You will need a frozen banana for this recipe.  What I usually do is wait until I have a very ripe banana, and then I peel it, put it in a quart size freezer bag, and smush it up so that it is easy to toss in the blender for this recipe.

Ingredients:
1 frozen banana
2 tbsp organic peanut butter
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions:
1. Place all ingredients in a blender.
2. Blend and enjoy!
