Blueberry Maple Refrigerator Oatmeal
The Yummy Life has several healthy recipes, including this easy no-cook breakfast that will definitely get your day started in a healthy way. This recipe is high in proten, fiber, and calcium and low in fat and sugar. Apparently this type of yogurt and oatmeal mixture is also called "summer porridge" or "muesli." She recommends making these in individual mason jars, so they have grab-and-go appeal if you don't have time to eat until you're in the car or at work. Of course, you could make them in any container that holds one cup.
I followed her recipe and added chia seeds, which are evidently rich in protein and Omega-3 fatty acids. If you can't find any at your local health-food store, you can substitute ground flax seeds or omit them.
Blueberry Maple Refrigerator Oatmeal
1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned rolled oats
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 1/2 tsp dried chia seeds
2 tsp maple syrup
1/4 cup blueberries
In a jar, add oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, and maple syrup. Put lid on jar and shake until well combined. Remove lid, add blueberries, and stir until mixed throughout. Return lid to jar and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days. Eat chilled.
