Overnight Oats
This is my go-to work breakfast. It is quick, easy, filling, and travel-friendly.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats*
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- ¾ cup soy milk**
- 1 banana
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
Instructions
- Combine rolled oats and chia seeds in bowl and mix.
- Slice banana on top of oats, pour in soy milk, and mix until well combined.
- Top with frozen mixed berries.
- Cover and place in fridge overnight.
Notes
*select gluten free oats if living the gluten-free lifestyle or have celiac disease. Oats are naturally gluten-free, however they may be processed on equipment that may be shared with other gluten-containing items.
**may substitute for regular milk or non-dairy beverage of choice. Soy milk is a great option for those looking to avoid dairy, but still reap the benefits of having quality protein. Soy milk is considered comparable regular cow's milk, as it contains all nine essential amino acids to be a complete protein. For those avoiding soy and animal dairy, consider using a non-dairy alternative milk that contained added protein, such as pea. Another option is to add protein powder, see notes below.
For additional protein, add a 1/2 scoop or full scoop of protein powder, and add an additional 1/2 cup liquid.
