For my Week 4 meal I did a recipe I developed myself and use quite frequently which is chocolate overnight oatmeal (or sometimes I call it "proatmeal"). It is a very simple, tasty and nutritious recipe that I use frequently for these reasons.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 200g old fashioned oats
- 2 1/4 cups milk
- optional: 2tsp beet root powder
There is not really a process to this recipe, you simply just combine all of the ingredients in an airtight container and refrigerate it overnight, or for at least 2 hours before you eat it. As I mentioned before I developed this recipe on my own after a decent amount of trial and error, so for this time around I did not have anything that I would have changed or done differently. In the past through experimentation I went from using 2.5 cups of milk for that much oatmeal to 2.25 because the end product would have too much excess liquid. One time when I did it I checked on in every half hour or so and that's how I landed on the 2 hour mark being where you can eat it and it will be ready if you choose to not let it sit overnight. I also began adding the beet root powder because I like the sort of earthy sweetness it adds which goes well with the chocolate, and it adds more nutrition.
