Super Simple Overnight Oats
Don't sacrifice a hearty and healthy breakfast just because you are short on time. Overnight oats are the perfect plant-based, go-to meal for even the busiest people. Taking just a couple of minutes to prepare before bedtime, these oats sit in your fridge and do their thing overnight, while you are in dreamland (probs thinking of your breakfast!). Try muesli instead of oats to change it up and I encourage you to play with the fruit flavors. I love bananas but, strawberries, blueberries, apples, and pears would all work well too.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup organic oats - steel cut or old fashioned not the instant kind - I love steel cut Irish oats
- 1 organic, pitted Medjool date - chopped
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon add more if you want
- 1/2 banana
- 1 cup organic soy milk - unsweetened use whatever nut-milk you fancy
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a 16 oz. mason jar. Ensure the top is on tight, shake well and put the jar in the fridge for 6-8 hours. Shake before opening. Enjoy!

Notes
Try muesli too! I love Bob's Red Mill Old Country-Style Muesli. It has everything but the kitchen sink...dried fruit, flax seeds, almonds, barley, oats, walnuts, and rye!
