OVERNIGHT OATS

DO YOU EAT OVERNIGHT OATS HOT OR COLD?

The answer is both! I usually let them sit out on my counter an hour while I go to the gym or get ready for my day to get the chill out. Some people like to heat them up in the microwave a few minutes, it’s totally up to you.

HOW LONG DO OVERNIGHT OATS LAST?

Most people say you can leave them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, but I prefer less, 3 days max as they get softer the longer they sit.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup quick oats, I prefer organic
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened Almond Breeze Original Almond Milk, or skim, soy
  • 1/4 medium banana, sliced (freeze the rest for smoothies!)
  • 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 4-5 drops NuNaturals liquid vanilla stevia, or your favorite sweetener
  • pinch cinnamon

for the topping:

  • 1 tbsp chopped pecans, or any nut

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Place all the ingredient in a jar, shake, cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next morning, add your favorite crunchy toppings such as nuts, granola, etc and enjoy!
