Peanut Butter & Jelly Oats
One of the most frequently asked question topics I receive is “How do I get more protein in?”. This month over at Fitness By Ashley we are going to explore a variety of recipes for Breakfast /pre/post-workout meals. Having portable, easy to prepare jam-packed protein meals locked and loaded in my fridge each and every week is key to me maintaining and gaining muscle, keeping me full through long mornings with clients, helps keep my blood sugar levels even all morning long so my energy is steady and I am ready to kick ass at work! Another huge benefit of overnight oats, you can literally make any flavor combo and it takes 10 mins tops. Now onto the recipe.
This one is for all my peanut butter and jelly-eating sandwich lovers. A classic that I lived on as a child. Only difference is now were also crushing enough protein to keep me full until lunch time!
Recipe Makes 4 Servings
Macros: 465 calories 10g Fat 51 g Carb 46 g Protein
Ingredients:
4 servings of unflavored or Vanilla protein powder
2 cups of pasteurized egg whites (can be replaced with liquid of choice, I go egg whites because more protein and there is zero flavor I promise)
8 tbsp of pb 2 powder
6 tbsp jelly of choice- I used sugar-free blackberry or raspberry
2 cups raw oats- I use quick rolled oats
4 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions:
In a large bowl mix together all dry ingredients- save 1/2 of the pb2 powder for later.
Mix in liquid of choice and stir to well combined.
Mix together remaining Pb2 powder with water (follow instructions on container) until you have a peanut butter consistency.
Divide 1 scoop of oat mixture into each jar or container- I use mason jars.
Layer in the peanut butter and jelly with remaining oats until all 4 containers or evenly filled up.
Store in refrigerator for the week.
Can top with nuts, or fresh and frozen berries if desired.
Enjoy!
