Overnight Oats
Need a quick, easy and healthy brekkie that you can have on the go or at work? Try this one, it will keep you full and on track for a great day of eating!
What you need (tools and utensils):
A large bowl
Glass jars
A spoon to mix the ingredients
A knife to chop fruit if needed
Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
1 Tblsp of Chia seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds or LSA (Linseed, Sunflower and Almond) powder (or all of the above for an amazing iron, protein, vitamin and mineral boost!)
1/2 cup non fat Greek Yoghurt of choice (My fav is Chobani) or coconut yoghurt if Vegan or Lactose intolerant
1 cup skim milk of choice
1 Tsp vanilla extract
1 Tblsp of a sweetener of choice such as honey, rice malt syrup or maple syrup
1 handful of fresh or frozen fruits of choice such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, chopped banana or blackberries
A sprinkle of unsalted crushed nuts of choice or granola (just double check the amount of sugar in the granola isn’t more than 10 grams of sugar per 100 grams, try to find products around 5 grams of sugar per 100 grams…. 4.2 grams of sugar is one teaspoon)
Method:
Place all ingredients except the fruit and nuts into a large bowl and mix until combined.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the glass jars (this batch should make 2-3 depending on the size of your jars), leaving approx. 1/3 of the jar free.
Put the top on the container and place into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Open the jar and add fresh or frozen fruit and a sprinkle of nuts before eating.
Enjoy!
Tip: Play with adding ingredients and flavourings until you find your favourite combination.
