Recipe of the Day: Oats in a Bowl


People always ask about quick breakfast ideas.  I've seen several people blogging about oats in a bowl, so I tried it last week.  I really liked it and the fact that it comes out cold was nice when the temps last week were in the upper 90's.  It's real easy so I thought I'd pass it along:

First, get a glass jar (doesn't matter what kind -old pickle jar, peanut butter jar, etc.)

Next, fill the jar with foods you like.  Mine usually looks something like this:

1/3-1/2c of milk or unsweetened almond milk
1/3-1/2c of plain oats (only ingredients should be rolled oats)
1/3-1/2c of plain Greek yogurt
2T of raisins
1/4-1/2c of other fruit (cut up banana, berries, natural applesauce, etc.)
1-2T of natural peanut butter (only ingredient should be nuts and salt)
1/2-1T of flax seed

Mix all the ingredients in the jar the night before you plan to eat it.  The oats will soak up the liquid and the next morning will be ready.  The above example is just a starting place.  Add what you like and try different things.  Use ingredients that you like.  Have fun with it.
