This is my first time to make overnight oatmeal in a jar. I was inspired by the photos in tumblr and decided to make my own overnight oatmeal. Overnight oatmeal is quick (less than 5 mins) and easy to make which is perfect if you have work or school and don't have time to make breakfast. It can also be an afternoon snack or late night dessert.
Ingredients
sliced 1/2 banana and 1 kiwi
1/2 cup of rolled oats
1 tsp of chia seeds
1/2 cup of almond milk
3-4 tbsp of passionfruit yoghurt (*optional any greek/regular yoghurt will do)
- Combine all ingredients in a mason jar.
- Cover with lid and shake, shake, shake until combined.
- Store in the refrigerator overnight (or for several hours). Eat cold or warm up in the microwave!
Overnight, the oats will absorb the liquid from the milk and yogurt, and the mixture will expand and thicken. This absorption process, in essence, “cooks” the oats. In the morning, top the mixture with nutritious add-ins of your choice (cinnamon, cocoa powder, fruits, dry fruits, nuts etc) which is my favourite part! The possibilities are endless for this high-protein, low-calorie, satisfying morning treat!
