Do you like your oats hot or cold?
I have had days where I did not want to cook oats or did not want to have them hot due to hot weather but I hadn’t put much thought on having them cold and not having to cook them!
I now love to make it at night and top it off with what I desire or have available in the morning. You can make it dairy free by using nut/soy/other milk and gluten free by using gluten-free oats!
This keeps me full for 4 to 5 hours as it has a good balance of protein, carbs & fat with omega 3 and many other nutrients from your nutrient-dense real foods.
Servings- 2 at my home
So what do we need?
- Rolled oats (organic if available)- 1/2 cup
- Milk (whichever you prefer)- 2/3 cup
- Plain Greek yoghurt (or dairy free)- 1/3 cup
- Chia seeds- 1 tbsp
- Toppings (below)
What to do?
Add to mason jar and mix well. Refrigerate overnight.
When ready to eat, top it off with:
- Apple (diced), cinnamon powder & mixed nuts/seeds
- Banana (chopped), peanut butter +/- mixed nuts/seeds
