Wednesday Recipe

This week in keeping with the trying to work out and eat healthier theme I have decided to share a recipe that has become a breakfast staple for me. The great things about this recipe is that you make it ahead and can vary it in so many ways...

Basic Overnight Oats
1/2 cup Oats (not instant or quick cook, I prefer Country Choice Multi Grain Hot Cereal from Trader Joe's)
1 cup Vanilla Almond Milk

Combine the oats and almond milk in a covered bowl and place in the fridge overnight. Add desired mix-ins and enjoy!

The basic recipe has 220 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, 45 grams of carbs, 6 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein.

Some of my favorite mix-ins are:
1/2 banana
blueberries
1 tbsp nut butter
fruited Greek yogurt
cinnamon
vanilla extract

Hope you enjoy!
