Oats on the Go
Breakfast Ideas;
A quick breakfast when you are on the run is always appreciated. These oats can be eaten hot or cold. My grandparents used to prepare these for me long ago. Always a favourite with lots of options for your topping -whatever you feel like on the morning.
Oats on the go
These oats can be made just before or up to a couple of days prior to consuming. My son loves these as a quick afternoon snack before sport. You will need;
- An airtight container preferably glass better for the earth.
- Use oast or alternate oats as a base – rolled oats, or alternatives such as quinoa or rice flakes
- Add all fresh ingredients on the morning as they tend to reduce the longevity of your oats.
Now, make the base:
- 1/2 cup organic oats of choice or alternate oats
- 1/2 cup milk of choice can be organic dairy or non-dairy milks or organic plant-based alternatives)
- 1/4 cup organic yoghurt (greek, almond or coconut yoghurt)
- 1 tbs pure maple syrup, honey or sweetener of choice
- 1 tbs organic chia seeds
- 1/4 tsp organic vanilla extract
Put all the ingredients in the container and stir, put in the fridge for up to 3 days. Straight from the fridge is a great summer option or you can heat in winter for a tummy warmer.
Topping ideas:
- Fresh berries and yoghurt drizzled with honey or maple and nuts
- Sliced banana, cacao chips and crushed nuts
- Stewed apples with cinnamon and almonds
- Mango, yoghurt and shredded coconut
To save time in the morning you can store your toppings in separate containers and add just prior to eating.
