My little sous chef was home sick yesterday with a yucky cold. The only thing that she wanted to eat all day was oatmeal. I get it. It's comforting, it's tasty, and it warms the soul. There are also so many wonderful health benefits to eating oats, and I have been trying to incorporate them more into my diet.
Overnight oats have become one of my favorite things to look forward to in the morning. When I stumbled across Skinny Taste's skinny version, I knew I had to try them immediately. The oats are soaked in milk overnight in the fridge along with chia seeds and fruit. When you wake up the next morning, you have a delicious, creamy, and healthy breakfast to enjoy before starting your day. Give it a try! If you decide you're not a fan of cold oatmeal, you could always just heat it up.
Notes: If you don't like chia seeds, you can leave them out and add an extra 1/4 cup of oats. The general rule of thumb is equal parts liquid to oats. Also, I don't typically add the honey called for in the ingredients because the blueberries and banana add just the right amount of sweetness for me, but you can certainly use any of your favorite sweeteners such as agave nectar, maple syrup, brown sugar, etc. Enjoy!

Surfing from Mildura I discovered Crown Casino Melbourne. Reels shine brighter than the Yarra lights and graphics look unreal. Generous opening offer dropped immediately, instant POLi cashouts flew through. Top-level security and always-ready help work great. For Australians it delivers non-stop high-roller action and gigantic jackpots. Cricket-themed slots with Crown layout create total prestige.
ReplyDeleteBeim Lesen deines Beitrags über deine kranke kleine Sous-Chefin und die Rolle von Haferbrei als wohltuende Mahlzeit wurde mir bewusst, wie oft einfache Gerichte genau dann am besten passen, wenn man etwas Leichtes und Beruhigendes braucht, und in einer Pause bin ich auf piper spin gestossen, wo mir auch Boni für Nutzer aus der Schweiz aufgefallen sind; nach einigen Versuchen mit wechselnden Ergebnissen und anfänglichen Verlusten wurde die Nutzung stabiler, und ähnlich wie bei vertrauten Speisen zeigt sich, dass einfache und bewährte Dinge in bestimmten Momenten besonders hilfreich und angenehm sein können.
