Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats + BBQ Kale Chips

April 10, 2011 By Leanne Vogel July 19, 2015

Yesterday was so much fun! I was a bit discouraged at first: what foods can I make that will taste great, are high in coconut, 0 sugar, and high in protein? The best way I’ve found to approach changes to my diet is with an open [and creative] mind. Reminding myself a couple of times today that the changes I’m making now will benefit me greatly down the road really helped me stay on track. I even stopped myself from eating a handful of raisins and went for a handful of almonds instead. The day started with some Overnight Oats. I’ve been dreaming of eating overnight oats for ages and they didn’t let me down. They were delicious! I was so full after this breakfast. My stomach felt a little odd afterward – I got bloated, had minor stomach pains about 2 hours after eating it, and my stomach was in a funk all day. It could have been the new supplements the Naturopath has me on, probably should have started supplements + oats on different days. I’ll try oats again tomorrow morning without the supplements [after my race] and see how I feel.

Smoked paprika is the best thing in the world. If you haven’t tried it, you need to… in fact you should drop everything you’re doing right now and race to the nearest store. You wont regret it.Hubba, hubba, ding, ding. I used some of the leftover sauce to pour over my veggies. I have so many plans for that sauce, starting with roasted veggies tomorrow night. What’s a perfect day without a perfect dessert? I made these in anticipation of being hungry later, but I wasn’t. Something to look forward to this afternoon! Do you like kale chips? What’s your favorite way to make them? Do you have an interesting kale recipe you want to share with me? I need to eat more greens and I’m open to suggestions!
