For breakfast lately I've been bringing this little bowl of goodness to work with me and I've really been enjoying it! It's got everything I need to start my day and it stays with me until lunch! It's easy to make and takes very little time to prepare. Delicious and nutritious!
We've been buying the extra thick oats from Bob's Red Mill at Whole Foods but I think any brand will work for this bowl-o-goodness. We use this brand a lot for our grains because they mostly offer organic and there is a cute old guy on the package. I like that these are extra thick also.
This needs to be prepared the night before to allow the soaking process to happen but Terri is telling me just a couple of hours is good also.
Here's how it works at my house. Measure out 1/4 cup of oats into a to-go container. Top that with vanilla rice milk until it covers the oats. I normally don't measure the milk, if there's still too much in the morning you can drain it. The sweetness of the vanilla really adds to the yummy factor and the rice milk is lower in fat than regular milk, but you could use cow's milk or water.
Put this in the fridge overnight.
The next morning dice up some fresh strawberries (or other fresh fruit) and stir in a bit of local honey. When your ready top with homemade granola before eating. Crunchy, fruity, sweet, healthy, nutritious, YUM!
Enjoy!
