Prep Notes

Cooking Time
0 minutes
Yields
1 serving
Ingredients
1/3 cup rolled oats
1/3 – 1/2 cup milk [can be almond, coconut, soy…amount depends on how thick you like it]
1/3 cup plain yogurt (optional, add more liquid if omitting)
1/2 banana
1/2 tbsp chia seeds
Pinch salt
Pinch cinnamon
Optional –sweetener (try to opt for a natural sweetener if you do this, such as honey, maple syrup, rice syrup)
Directions
- Stir everything together in a bowl.
- Place in fridge overnight.
- In the morning top with something crunchy or sweet (like fresh fruit and nuts)
Notes
There is NO COOKING involved at all! (Although you could heat them just a tiny bit in the microwave to take the chill out)
Evey’s Note: Nuts will add healthy fats that we need as well! Walnuts are especially high in the good-for-you Omega 3 fatty acids! Almonds are good too. You can also add almond or other type of nut butter.
Evey’s Note again: You can use steel cut oats instead of the rolled oats (healthier for you). You will want to put the mixture in a blender beforehand though. Add fruit, nuts after blending
TIME SAVING TIP: Make a batch of this at the beginning of the week and just reheat the amount you want.
