TABLE OF CONTENTS

I have been experimenting with different ways to enjoy oats, other than as porridge or just adding milk and fruits etc. have become a little monotonous for me. So, here is another way you can enjoy this healthy, fiber-rich food, plus, you might just enjoy it, as I did.  Try it nuh!

INGREDIENTS

• ½ cup oats
• 2 tbsp chia seeds.
• 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt (unsweetened).
• 1 tsp cacao powder.
• ½ cup milk of choice (or enough to cover the blends)
• ½ tsp maple syrup/honey, for extra sweetness (this is optional).
• Toppings – (for this one):
  • Blueberries
  • Walnuts (chopped/crushed)
  • Roasted sunflower seeds.
  • Melted Peanut Butter

INSTRUCTIONS

• Add oats to the container (the one you will be eating the mixture out of)
• Add chia seeds.
• Add cacao powder.
• Add Milk.
• Add yoghurt.
• Add sweetener (optional).
• Mixed until all is blended.
• Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator.
• In the morning:
  • Remove from the refrigerator.
  • Add blueberries.
  • Sunflower seeds.
  • Peanut butter.
• Combine all the ingredients.
• Serve and Enjoy!

Notes:

For this recipe, I used frozen blueberries (only had that available). You can also add ripe bananas (I was out 😊), this will give it a little more sweetness, and of course, further help with satiety.  However, this was very enjoyable and filling, plus, it is healthy.  Remember, you can add a little more milk if it is too thick when you are ready to eat it in the morning. I could not eat it all in one go!  Remember, use toppings that you have on hand, just work it in, and enjoy your breakfast treat (because it is like a treat in the morning 😊).
