| INGREDIENTS: | |
| 1/4 cup | uncooked old fashioned rolled oats |
| 1/3 cup | skim milk |
| 1/4 cup | low-fat greek yogurt |
| 1&1/2 tsp dried chia seeds DIRECTIONS: Step 1. Assemble these ingredients & supplies: old fashioned rolled oats (not instant, quick, or steel-cut) Greek yogurt (regular yogurt is thinner; if you use it, you'll need to reduce the amount of milk); read my post for easy instructions for straining regular yogurt to make Greek yogurt. | |
| milk, (I used skim, but any kind will work) | |
| chia seeds; I bought mine at Whole Foods; also available on Amazon | |
| half pint (1 cup) | mason jars, find them at Walmart and grocery stores; also available on Amazon |
| Step 2. Add oats, milk, yogurt, and chia seeds to jar, along with desired sweeteners or flavors (see options below) Step 3. Put a lid on the jar and shake to combine. I use white plastic jar lids sized to fit canning jars--they last longer than the metal tops and rims that come with the jars, and they are easier to screw on and off; some Walmarts carry them, and they're available on Amazon. Step 4. Add fruit and stir gently until combined. Step 5. Place in fridge overnight and up to 2 days; maybe longer depending on the type and ripeness of the fruit. The non-banana varieties have been good after 4 days for me. FLAVORS: 1) Raspberry Vanilla | |
| 1/4 teaspoon | vanilla extract |
| 1 tablespoon | raspberry jam, preserves, or spread |
| 1/4 to 1/3 cup | raspberries, (cut each berry in half), or enough to fill jar |
| 2) Mango Almond | |
| 1/8 tsp | almond extract |
| 1 tsp | honey |
| 1/4 cup | diced mango |
| 3) Blueberry Maple | |
| 2 tsp | maple syrup |
| 1/4 cup | blueberries |
| 4) Apple Cinnamon | |
| 1/2 teaspoon | cinnamon |
| 1 teaspoon | honey, optional (or substitute any preferred sweetener) |
| 1/4 cup | unsweetened applesauce, or enough to fill jar |
| 5) Peanut Butter Banana | |
| 1 tablespoon | peanut butter, (may substitute PB2 powdered peanut butter) |
| 1 teaspoon | honey, optional (or substitute any preferred sweetener) |
