I’ve been on this kick to eat healthier. It’s hard!!( So many donuts, so much bacon…) But I’ve been gradually changing the way I eat one meal at a time.
I don’t always make healthy choices, but I’m getting better. I’ve always been a breakfast eater, but not a HEALTHY breakfast eater.

Hey LaShawn, I keep seeing overnight oatmeal about pinterest as well. I was skeptical about them because I’m not sure I want cold oatmeal however, I am a lover of banana bread. Decisions, decisions!
I’ve only tried overnight oats once and it was TERRIBLE! This recipe sounds really delicious though so I’m going to try it again! I love the addition of the banana to the mix then night before 🙂
This looks absolutely amazing. I have been wanting to try overnight oats for a while now and the combination of things you mention here makes me that much more intrigued to try it. I bet it tastes delicioussss.
I am not a fan of banana unless it’s Now and Later but I think I need to step out of my comfort zone and try new things to get off this weight. I have never tried silk milk so I may give it a chance. I know reg milk and I don’t mix well these days so I have been doing lactaid milk
I have not yet tried overnight oats. Something about eating it cold turns me off. I like warm oatmeal. I’ll eventually try it.
This looks so yum. I have been hesitant to try overnight oats because I actually enjoy the process of making oatmeal but some mornings I am just to tired to get it together and next thing you know it’s afternoon and I am binge eating something unhealthy not to mention oatmeal is a staple for this breastfeeding mama. I love banana bread too so I am going to try this.
Yum and yum! I would love to make this or have you make it for me! LOL Its look good and I love nuts too!
This looks yummy and sounds healthy and highly likely that my kids will eat it. I’m giving it a try! Thanks for sharing!
