Overnight Oats

Recently I’ve been making a big batch of cold oats at the beginning of the week, and eating them for breakfast and snacks (late night included) with different toppings.

Oats in their purest form are of the cheapest, easiest, healthiest forms of fuel in the morning. Ancient super grains have the most amazing health benefits - natural proteins, prebiotic fibers, and antioxidants.

I use Farm to Table Foods whole grain oats because, like me, they believe in going back to basics for the best results. A bowl of oats (hot or cold) in the simplest, purest elemental form is important to me which is why I was drawn to this brand in particular. They don’t do any sort of excess processing with their grains which is the way it should be. Definitely check them out and eat real food (when you can…)!

This is just one of the many ways I eat my overnight oats…

The recipe is simple, but the ratio is crucial. I’ve tried to eyeball it many times and the consistency is never as good!

Ingredients:

1 cup of oats (I use Farm to Table Foods organic ancient super grain oats)

1 cup of almond milk

3 tablespoons of chia seeds

Mix these ingredients together well, and let sit in the refrigerator overnight. The consistency in the morning is amazing. Recently I’ve been enjoying it topped with raspberry or blackberry jam, and almond butter!
