Scrumptious Sundays


Overnight Oats (serves 2)
1 c old fashioned oats (uncooked)
2 c milk (dairy, almond, or coconut)
2 Tbsp Chia seeds
1 small very ripe banana (mashed)
1/8 c chopped walnuts
2 Tbsp goji berries (or any berry dried/fresh)
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ground flax seed

Variations:  add peaches, grapes, dried apples or any combination of chopped fruit (dried or fresh)

Combine everything.  Store overnight (or at least 6 hours) in refrigerator.  The oats will soak up the liquid so no cooking is needed.  If you want a hot breakfast simply warm the oat mixture on the store or in the microwave.  Add a few drops of honey if more sweetness is desired.

Our favorite so far has been using fresh raspberries and almost milk.  Lots of variations (even chocolate milk?) to try!! I use a mason jar to put it in, and have eaten it up to 3 days after I made it.  Texture was still fine.  Got 3 ready-made breakfasts out of it.  Jason says he feels like it fills him up longer than a protein shake.
