Marathon Mud Pie

Emily Elizabeth's Note:

A creamy chocolate peanut butter pudding parfait for breakfast... and before a long run? Why not? Take.a couple minutes to toss the ingredients together the night before and it's ready to dish first thing in the morning! Loaded with fiber, protein, healthy fats and a little caffeine from the cacao, it's the perfect breakfast to sustain you through a long workout. I love to have this first thing in the morning before I head out for a long run. (recipe inspired by Oh She Glows - http://ohsheglows.com/2010/04/08/easy-vegan-overnight-oats/)
