Overnight Oats
Base:
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
3/4 cup milk (I like almond or soy milk)
1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flax seed
Cover and stash in refrigerator overnight. The oats soak up the liquid and become a creamy mixture. In the morning, get creative with toppings and mix-ins! No cooking or heating required.
In this mix:
1/2 banana
1 tbsp of FitNutz
1 tbsp maple sugar (or brown sugar)
I'm not gonna lie, I dug into this bowl before I remembered to take a picture :)
Question: What is your "go-to" breakfast?
(Don't feel obligated to answer the question. I welcome any comments or questions you have!)
Carolyn, thanks for this overnight recipe. Even though I allow myself LOTS of time in the morning before work, I don't take the to "fix" a decent breakfast. This is a great recipe. I can plan what to add the night before, have it ready and then just "toss" everything together. I've already thought of several fun things to add: cranberries, almonds, raisins, the list is endless.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm running late, my go to is a fiber one bar, but love to make breakfast burritos made with WW tortilla and scrambled egg beaters with veggies mixed in, sometimes with turkey sausage, always with hot peppers.
ReplyDeletei am a sucker for re-fried beans since many options aren't vegetarian! I make my own re-fried black beans at home with organic dried black beans. I prepare a lot at one time and put them into smaller mason jars so they are accessible in the morning and you can put some in the freezer. Just reheat with a little olive oil or veggie stock and they can be put with anything! I like them with veggie chorizo in a wheat tortilla with homemade salsa!
