Overnight Oats - What a Great Discovery!

Thanks to PepperLynn for this fabulous recipe find!

I take this to work in an insulated container for my morning snack: it is so very versatile and satisfying. It has the consistency of oatmeal, just cold and travels well!


Ingredients:


  • 1/4 cup oats (old fashioned, not quick)
  • 1/4 cup fat free yogurt, Greek/Balkan style
  • 1/3 cup skim milk
  • tsp chia seeds
  • tsp hemp hearts
  • tsp honey
  • 1/4 fruit of choice
Flavour Ideas:
  • Chopped mango (my fave!)
  • Banana slices
  • Frozen berries


Method:
Mix it altogether and leave in the fridge overnight or at least a couple hours so the oatmeal can soak up all the liquid.

Possible Alternatives / Things to Try:
The link above offers all sorts of flavour ideas as will a Google search. So far I have stuck to fruit and love it.
