Overnight Oatmeal

If you’re looking for a quick and easy breakfast option that checks all the boxes, high in protein and fiber, rich in antioxidants, filling and delicious…This is it.

Oat fiber has been shown to help regulate cholesterol, maintain steady blood sugar levels, and keep hunger pangs at bay. Studies show that just 3 grams of soluble oat fiber per day (as in one bowl of oatmeal) typically lowers cholesterol levels by 8-23%. Pretty impressive!

Prep time: 5 minutes
Makes 1 serving

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup dry sugar-free steel cut or rolled oats
• Dash of salt
• 1 cup sugar-free organic soy milk
• 2 tbsp. peanut butter
• 1/4 – 1/2 cup organic berries, fresh or frozen
• Sprinkle of organic stevia or 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Combine the first 3 ingredients in a glass mason jar or bowl and place in the refrigerator overnight.

The following morning, or whenever you’re ready to complete the recipe, place the oats in the microwave for 90 seconds. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. If you used frozen berries, place the oats back in the microwave for another minute.

Add more soy milk if needed to reach the desired consistency and enjoy!

Note: organic soy milk is typically highest in protein of non-dairy alternatives, but you can substitute any other option you choose. In non-dairy alternatives, be sure to read the label for hidden sugar.
