OIAJ

 

OIAJ?!

What’s that?

Oats In A Jar.

They have also become pretty popular in the blogosphere. I must agree, they are pretty awesome and perfect for people who are on the go and need a quick breakfast to snag on the way out the door.

I’ll get to them in a minute, first lets review the day!

RX plus week: Day 3 down!

I started this morning coaching the crew through this workout:

Coaching with no voice is hard. Just so you know.. It ended up being awesome though! We have an awesome group and everyone just laughed. I sounded reeaaaaalllly bad.. Hopefully it gets better by tomorrow!

I did the workout and attempted to work on bar muscle ups. They are ridiculous. One day…

Here is the OIAJ tutorial:

HOW TO MAKE OIAJ

 

Use an empty or almost empty almond butter or peanut butter jar.

Put 1/3 cups of rolled oats inside.

Add 1/3 C. egg whites which is about equivalent to two egg whites.

Add a little bit of water and cook for 2 minutes, stir and add 30 sec-1 minute till egg whites are cooked and a little fluffy!

*Keep an eye on it, so it doesn’t overflow!

Time for the add ins!

Here is where you can get a little creative. You can use water fruit, veggies, nuts or seeds you want!

Tonight I put in protein powder, flaxseed, blueberries, raspberries and a few drops of stevia.

Mix well. Pop the lid on and put it in the fridge!

It will be ready in the morning for you!

Done and Done. Also, if your wondering.. no I did not do my hair today and or make up, nor do I care.

This is real life.

Give the oats a try!

Tonight I had a 7 mile run scheduled and the RX + workout was a hike on my favorite running trail so I decided to do it then with the group.

We had a great run and made it to the top in 44 minutes! It is a pretty good elevation gain so I was pretty excited about it.. oh and I’m still kinda sick.

The view at the top was worth it too!

Love all these “dawls” for pushin it to the top! If you follow me on Instagram you can catch a video of us running down in the dark… We might of enjoyed that sunset a little longer then we should have. You can also catch a video clip of the workout today on GPP fitness Instagram!

Good Night y’all.

What do you put in your oatmeal?

Lucky charms, strawberries, chocolate?
