Peanut Butter Banana Protein Overnight Oats Recipe
A popular recipe that has many people’s attention is the overnight oats, I found a fun recipe on Pinterest that I think many of you will like – it comes packed some protein so definitely awesome for some of my athletes out there. I, have not had the chance to make my own overnight oats, but I keep so many recipes of them because I hope to at some point be able to create my own because they look so good! Yumm 🙂 I have had many of my friends who swear by overnight oats and say they make for a great breakfast or post workout snack as well, so definitely a plus-plus there. If you love peanut butter and banana, then you will be excited to try this recipe.
Ingredients needed:
- 1/2 cup of rolled oats (regular or gluten-free)
- 1/2 of a small to medium size banana (sliced)
- 2/3 cup of unsweetened almond milk or your milk of your choice
- 1/2 Tablespoon of chia seeds
- 1/2 Tablespoon of protein powder
- 1/2- 1 Tablespoon of peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp of pure vanilla extract
- 2-3 tsp of pure maple syrup
- dash of sea salt
Directions:
- Combine all your ingredients into a small jar (such as a mason jar)
- Stir well
- Cover and refrigerate overnight or at the bare minimum of 4 hours
- You can eat this chilled or warmed up and if you choose, garnish with peanut butter or more bananas.

Baked Butter Garlic Shrimp (recipe)
Ingredients:
- 1 lb of raw shrimp, peeled & cleaned
- 5 tbsp of softened butter
- 3-4 large cloves of garlic, crushed
- salt and pepper
- fresh or dried parsley to use as a garnish
- lemon wedges (optional)
Direction:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees
- Spread butter evenly on the bottom of the baking dish
- sprinkle crushed garlic over the butter
- add the shrimp
- bake for 7 minutes, then stir/turn shrimp, then bake for another 7-10 minutes

This dish would probably go great as part of a pasta dish, or as a side to a steak, even possibly adding it to a salad might be okay.

Why I don’t believe calling my eating mistakes “cheat meals”
I am a little hard on myself.

12 week (cut) program – Day Seven (workout)
It has been an upward battle with this 12 week cut, everything sinks in quickly when you realize you have to keep a close eye on everything you eat and all your workouts. I have had a lot of support on my YouTube channel and from all of you and I appreciate that because I need it. Today’s workout was a leg day, and abs (which if you know me, you know I love working the abdominal muscles) and I don’t mind leg day but leg day means sore day! lol
What was your workout today? leave it in the comment section.
Workout Session:
- Squats: 3 x 8-10. I did 105 lb then moved on to 125 lb with my last set
- leg curls: 3 x 12 -15. 50 lb
- leg extension: 3 x 12-15. 50 lb
- leg press calf raise: 3 x 15-20. 130 lb
- plank: 3 x 60 seconds
- twisting hanging knee raise: 3 x 20 (this sucks so bad, always hard and always feeling the burn) lol
I did not do any cardio today, as tomorrow will be a cardio workout day along with my strength training. My eating habits are okay, I think yesterday was a higher carb day, so the rest of this week will be low carb days and moderate carb days (which I am getting used to, kind of). Are any of you doing a cut program? let me know how it is going currently in the comment section!
