Overnight Oats
Serves: 1
Ingredients:
-
1/2 cup oats
-
1/2 cup almond milk (or liquid of your choice)
-
The rest varies varies with your concotion (see recipes on the right)
-
For added protein, add 2 tbsp of Unflavored Great Lakes Gelatin Protein
Directions:
-
Step 1: Put oats and liquid of choice into a bowl or jar. The oats to liquid ratio should be 1:1 — example: ½ cup of quick oats and ½ cup of unsweetened almond milk. Fyi: Rolled oats definitely need to be soaked overnight, while quick oats could get you to overnight oats awesomeness in just 30 minutes.
-
Step 2: Stir in your favorite flavor combinations and sweetener of choice! Ideas listed below but the only limit is your imagination. Idea: mash half of a banana into overnight oats for the creamy-smooth texture and light sweetness. Add something crunchy — like pecans, sunflower seeds, or coconut —texture is everything!
-
Step 3: Cover and let sit overnight in the refrigerator (or for at least 30 minutes if using quick oats).
-
Step 4: In the morning, top with more fresh fruit, granola, coconut, a dollop of almond butter (or all of the above!) and dive in!
Time saving tip:
You can make several of these ahead of time — they keep well in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
