I will be honest with you, I basically take this to school everyday. It is super easy to bring along with you places, as I usually eat my breakfast at school during the week. You prep it overnight so that it is ready for you in the morning when you get hungry, it has a low glycemic index because of the oats, helping you stay fuller and have energy for longer, and it tastes beerrryyy good—hehehe see what I did there 😉
Ingredients
1/2 cup of rolled oats
Cinnamon
Dash of vanilla extract
Plant milk
Frozen or fresh blueberries (I prefer frozen)
Nut butter
Optional
Chia seeds
Hemp seeds
Maple syrup
Scoop of protein powder
Method
Pour the oats, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and any additions, into a mason jar.
Pour in just enough of the milk so that you can stir it all. Don't fill up the jar all the way.
Pour in blueberries (I like to fill it almost to the rim with blueberries💙, but don't refer to the photo for amount of blueberries. I added more after so you could see them better in the picture).
Add an additional splash of milk if needed and top it with a scoop of nut butter.
Close the jar with a lid and give it a little shake. Make sure the lid is on tight enough first.
Store it in the fridge overnight and enjoy in the morning!
Personal Notes and Tips
You can add in a splash of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
I didn't put an exact amount for cinnamon because everyone likes different amounts and honestly I never measure out my cinnamon.
I always mix up the kind of nut butters I used depending on my mood, but my favorites are almond, cashew, and peanut butter. If you want to be crafty, make your own by blending toasted nuts in a food processor!
I recommend buying some good lids for you mason jars. It makes it easier to shake, store, and transport your oats (and other creations).
If you don't have mason jars (or clean mason jars for that matter) you can make it in any cup, mug, or bowl, and just cover it.
