Overnight Oats

For a quick AM breakfast or “on the go” breakfast, add ingredients the night before in a 8 oz glass jar w/ lid or container and refrigerate. In the AM you will have breakfast or a snack ready to go.

Here is my personal favorite.

Ingredients

• 1/ 2 cup raw oats (quick, regular, or mixed)

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds

• 1/8 tsp hemps hearts ( optional)

• 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract

• 1 tsp maple syrup

Add in’s

1/2 diced apple ( 1 tablespoon applesauce), 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tablespoon chopped pecans

1 tablespoon nut butter, 1 tablespoon of my Chia Seed Jam (pb&j) and fresh berries to top

1 tablespoon protein powder, 1 teaspoon of peanut butter, 1/2 sliced banana, goji berries, top w/ cacao nibs.

Quick "Out The Door" Breakfast Options

Here are some options for when you're having one of those days where you need something to grab and go!

• One piece of whole grain/sprouted grain or gluten free toast with 1/2 mashed avocado and sprinkle of chia/sesame seeds, or red chili flakes.
