Patriotic Overnight Oats

There is no better time for summer berries to shine than the 4th of July! How perfect that they bring the most vibrant and delicious reds and blues imaginable, and how convenient that overnight oats are white!

I have oats nearly every morning for breakfast in one form or other. I enjoy eating oats because they are a good source of fiber and 100% whole grain, which helps give me energy.

Overnight oats are my favorite summertime breakfast for the convenience and no-cook prep. While the overnight oats recipe in this post is a delicious everyday breakfast, for the special holiday occasion, I made layers of patriotic color and topped it off with a coconut cream topping! It adds just a bit of decadence to the yummy layers of red, white, and blue, and it might not be something you’d choose every day.

Begin by making your overnight oats the night before (or at least 6-8 hours before so the oats have time to absorb all that liquid!). Dice your strawberries and gather everything to begin the layers.

Begin with a layer of strawberries, followed by a layer of oats, and then your third color layer of blueberries.

Keep going until you have used them all up!

To make the coconut cream, you will need a can of full-fat coconut milk that has been chilled in the freezer. Store it in there upside down so that the thickest cream is on top when you open it up. Scoop that out into a bowl. Add a drizzle of maple syrup (or sweetener of choice) and whisk together until fluffy. Spoon on top of your jar and garnish with a few more oats. Enjoy!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
