Healthy Recipes: Strawberries + Cream Overnight Oats

Being busy and on-the-go shouldn't derail us from a healthy lifestyle.  I feel breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  All you need is five minutes each evening to make this so you have a nice, portable breakfast you can take to class or work, scarf down before you head out the door, or snack on midday.  I love this recipe because it is basically a decadant dessert, but, ya know, for breakfast.

YUM.


The night before you plan on eating this, combine these ingredients:
-1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk (OR whatever milk you chose whether it be dairy, soy, coconut, etc)
-1/4 cup of steel cut oats OR 1/2 cup of rolled oats
-half a tablespoon to a tablespoon of chia seeds.  You can omit, but they're SO good (omega3's, baby!) for you and add texture!
-1/4 cup of nonfat plain greek yogurt with a packet of stevia OR 1/4 cup of vanilla nonfat greek yogurt
-1/2 cup of chopped strawberries (Feel free to do whatever toppings you want; nuts, berries, banana, a few dark chocolate chips, et cetera.  As I always say, get creative!  I like throwing in a dash of cinnamon, too, because it stabilizes blood sugar while adding flavor.)

Cover your tupperware, and by morning your breakfast will be ready to stir up and eat!  See? Now what's your excuse to miss breakfast?(:
