Overnight Oats
This is the perfect busy day breakfast. I can whip this up before I go to bed, and then create a delicious quick meal in the morning. I often have this before a long run. Personally, I get a bit excited on long run days, and struggle to want to eat. This goes down easy and stays with me during the run.
1 1/2 cups of rolled oats
1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons chia seeds
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
Mix in bowl, then pour into a mason jar. Refrigerate overnight and it is ready in morning. Mix in your favorite toppers.
Note: this recipe makes enough for your family to eat too! I get 3-4 meals out of it.
Topper favorites- I learned about flax seed as a oatmeal topper on our Arizona Crew Boss Trail adventure trip from chef Irene. She is our GetUFit nutrition chef on these adventures. We all left feeling excited about fun new ways to fuel ourselves. I love this way of adding this super power of a food to my nutrition.
