Hellooooo September!
Okay okay, it’s still hot and humid out in New York but Starbucks has already brought back the pumpkin spiced latte which sets me into a panic attack that summer is over. As much as I love all things pumpkin flavored and hot apple cider I’ve always preferred toasty weather and a uniform of flip-flops and a sundress.
Here’s to making the most of the last few hot days before I trade in my rainbow flippie floppies for UGG boots…
Despite the heat I haven’t made overnight oats nearly as much as I used to. In California a nice bowl of ONO was one of my favorite post workout, pre studying lunches. I decided to switch it up and make an apple based bowl of overnight oats. The honey + apple combo felt rather appropriate for Rosh Hashana this week (it’s tradition to dip apples in honey to kick off the Jewish new year on a sweet note).
Apples and Honey Over Night Oats (dairy-free, optional GF)
- 1 apple, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon of honey (I’m obsessed with raw honey)
- 1 liberal shake of cinnamon
- 1 cup of almond milk (I used vanilla almond breeze)
- 1/2 cup oats (GF if needed)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Optional toppings:
- walnuts, crushed
- 1 tablespoon almond butter.
Thoroughly combine all the ingredients minus the toppings in a tupperware. Cover and leave in the fridge overnight. In the morning add a splash of milk and stir.
I topped my ONO with broken up pieces of walknuts and a spoonful of almond butter and heated the whole thing for ~20 seconds. As much as I love ONO sometimes the chill is a bit too much for me so I liked it a bit warmer. Bringing ONO to work is pretty easy, just add a splash of milk in the morning and don’t mix in until it’s lunchtime. Bring toppings on the side for easy mixing.
Workout Recap
So running and I were “on a break” this past week but I think I’m ready to get back to it and kick this half marathon in the butt. For this week I’m going to focus more on a timed run for my short runs and only track distance for the long run. The goal is to get in a 40 minute run, 50 minute run and 7 miles. It’s a bit more than I had been previously doing but I’m hoping a week away means I’ll feel stronger this week.
