I have been meaning to post this for a while, but I hesitated because it doesn't photograph well. I tend to only try recipes that look amazing. This does not, but if you want a healthy and yummy go-to breakfast you will love me for this.
1/3c raw oats
1/3c yogurt (plain, vanilla, soy, or greek)
1/3c milk (almond, soy, coconut, or plain)
1/2 banana
1t chia seeds
Honey, cinnamon, almonds, coconut, berries, nutella, PB2, maple syrup....
I use freezer canning jars for convenience, but any pint bowl with a lid will do. Since you only need half of a banana make two at a time. The combination of flavor choices is endless, but I am stuck on cinnamon toast.
Measure into each jar oats, yogurt, milk, banana, and chia seeds. This is the base for every combo. I then add a good shake of cinnamon and a squeeze of local honey. Stir or shake it up and put it in the fridge overnight, it will stay good for two to three days. The oats are fiber, yogurt and milk protein, the cinnamon is good for metabolism and inflammation, local honey suppresses allergies, the chia seeds are full of omegas, fiber, and protein. Chia seeds soften in the liquid, soak it all up, are flavorless, and keep me full until far past noon. The texture of the oats is similar to granola only without all the fat. PB2 is powdered peanut butter, low in fat and extra nutty it is really good with bananas. This is perfect for summer as it is cold, and easy to grab and go. I would love to hear all of the flavor combinations everyone creates.
