I am always on the go. Being on the go, means the need for quick and simple recipes to make sure I’m set up for success and prepared to fuel my body correctly. Because so many of us are similar in that sense, we might come to a crossroads where we have to compromise what we eat for breakfast. By making something a head of time, we can just “Grab and Go…” With this easy recipe, you can literally grab it from the fridge, and go!! whether you open and eat it immediately, or take it to work and eat while in a morning meeting or whatever else it is that seems convenient. Breakfast is a huge part of your day, it is what sets the tone for your body. Don’t skip breakfast, your body and mind need it.

Growing up, oatmeal was definitely a staple in our house. It is full of fiber and it gives you energy. It is actually one of the more nutrient dense foods with so many vitamins and minerals such as, magnesium, iron, calcium, B1, and many more. Oats have something called beta-glucan which not only helps with lowering cholesterol and stabilizing blood sugar, but also helps create healthy bacteria in the gut. Oats also can promote weight loss by helping us feel full.

You can really make your oats many different flavors. I use to love the maple & brown sugar or the Apple and cinnamon flavors!! As I grew up, I realized how much sugar unfortunately was added to these packets, so I started buying the unflavored/ unsweetened packets and would add my own fruit and sweetener. Instant oats are very processed, I’m not saying if that’s all you have to not eat them, but if you have the choice to have rolled oats or groats, I say go for that so it takes a little longer to digest. Here I have created a really quick, homemade recipe with Gluten Free rolled oats. You can make a few servings the night before and then place it in your fridge to soak until morning. By keeping the oatmeal in the fridge, it will keep its freshness for up to 4-5 days. In the morning you can grab your breakfast right away and eat it cold or warm it up with a little added liquid.

Get creative with flavors, you can add whatever nuts or fruits you would like. The possibilities are endless. I have created a pretty basic overnight oats recipe that you can add and subtract from, as long as you keep the main guidelines in mind. When you make anything at home, you know what quality ingredients have been put into your food, as well as no added preservatives, and made with your own personal love & care. Instead of maple syrup to sweeten, you can use stevia (an herb) OR blended or mashed up fruit.

If you make the recipe, I would love for you to comment or tag me!! I always love hearing from you and what your inner creator has decided to come up with!

Overnight Oats:

1/2 Cup Rolled Oats

1/2 Cup Almond milk (unsweetened Vanilla is my favorite)

-1 Tablespoon Chia seeds (navitas brand)
-1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
-A pinch of salt
-1 Tablespoon Maple syrup

Topping: If you would like to add some fruit topping, have some chopped up fruit ready to throw on top in the morning. Bananas, blueberries, apples, strawberry, or Mango go well!! So in the morning you can quickly top and go!

Instructions:

-Add all the ingredients in a jar or bowl, with an airtight lid. Mix the ingredients well and then put the lid on, and pop it in the fridge! Let the oats sit overnight and then consume the following morning. Top with sliced fruit if preferred. Enjoy within a few days and then repeat the process for the next few days again. If you prefer your oats warm, you can quickly heat them straight out of the fridge, its a bit thick with the chia seeds, so adding a little extra liquid the next day is totally fine and I usually do myself!

Dont forget to tag me if you make this. I wanna seeeeeee!! Enjoy beautifuls.
