Tropical Overnight Oats

These decadent-tasting overnight oats are so freakin good – just the thing to welcome myself back into the swing of not-vacation life.

gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan

Tropical Overnight Oats

1/3 c rolled oats

2-3 Tbsp pineapple chunks

2 Tbsp coconut flakes

1 Tbsp chia seeds

1 Tbsp protein powder of choice

1/3 c your favorite milk

2 tsp maple syrup

1/2 tsp vanilla

Few grinds salt

Optional topper: seed mix (my fav is a pumpkin & sunflower mix)

Combine all ingredients but the pineapple in an airtight container. Shake vigorously to combine, and let sit overnight.

To serve, top with the pineapple, a few flakes more coconut if desired and your favorite seed mix for crunch.

Serves 1 but is easily scalable

Did I snap a pic while I toiled over insertion lace for hours today? Nope. Just took a picture of this little jerk looking angelic. 😂 #dogmomlife

Spent the day at this gorgeous farm just outside of Doha – Heenat Salma – relaxing, eating too much by the bonfire and getting my fitness cup filled to the brim with yoga & pilates classes led by 2 of my favorite instructors. It was a nice break from the city most of us didn’t even know we needed.

Simple Stir Fry

This is a quick-n-dirty stir fry I threw together the first week back from vacation inspired by Thai flavors – without having to source a few specialty ingredients.

gluten-free, paleo

Simple Stir Fry

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

Zucchini, sliced into half moons

Bell pepper, chopped bite sized

Yellow onion, sliced into thin half moons

Green beans, chopped bite sized

4 cloves garlic, chopped

1 Tbsp fish sauce (check your labels for paleo & gluten free)

1 Tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce

2 tsp chili garlic sauce

2 tsp ketjap manis (check your labels)

2 tsp molasses

Chop your veg. You are looking for about 5 – 6 cups total veg in whatever configuration you’ve got. Add to a large bowl.

Chop your chicken into bite sized pieces and add to the bowl.

In a small bowl, combine the sauces. Pour over the veg & meat and toss.

Preheat your air fryer to 400F for 3 mins.

Air fry your mixture for 8 or 9 minutes (I did 2 batches for a total of 19 minutes), tossing once or twice per go.

Serves 3 – 4 with no carbs; can easily stretch with carbs
