Breakfast in a Rush: Overnight Oats

Breakfast in a Rush: Overnight Oats
If you are in a hurry in the morning, prepare this for the morning before going to bed.

Mix 1 cup of oats with 1-1.5 cups of water. Let it sit over night.

While preparing, add various additions:
• When mixing with the water try adding some vanilla essence
• Mix in cinnamon
• Mix in your favorite nuts and seeds such as pumpkin, sunflower, and flax
• Add some cocoa nibs or a teaspoon of cocoa powder
• Add dried coconut flakes
• Add dried fruit such as dates or raisins. Throw in some dried figs- they will rehydrate in the water and provide sweetness.
• Fresh fruit such as apple or banana…
• Sweeteners: Try 100% pure maple syrup or raw honey.
• Have fun & get creative each day!
