Ingredients
- •Almond Milk, Unsweetened(420g)
- •Honey(23g)
- •Peanut Butter, Smooth(23g)
- •Oats, Rolled, Dry(240g)
- •1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- •Chia Seeds
- •Whey protein powder (vanilla)
Use whey isolate for cooking. Vanilla flavor is most versatile.
- •Cinnamon, Ground
- •Orange Zest
- •Almonds, Roasted, Salted
- •Honey
Instructions
- 1In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, nut butter, and any protein powder you may be adding until smooth. Stir in the oats, salt, and any other optional additions (wait to add fresh fruit or nuts so that they stay fresh/crisp). Cover the bowl tightly with plastic (or transfer it to an airtight storage container) and refrigerate overnight or for up to 5 days.
- 2When ready to serve, stir the oats and portion the desired amount into your bowl. (At this point, you can also divide the oats into individual containers and refrigerate for the week.) Top with any desired fresh fruit, nuts, or other toppings. (If placing the oats in individual jars, feel free to add toppings to each, as they will store fine this way. If storing as a single larger batch for the week, I find it is best to wait to add the fresh toppings/nuts until just before serving so that they don't all sink to the bottom.) Enjoy cold and congratulate yourself for your breakfast-planning prowess.
