Overnight Oats

Prep Time10 minsTotal Time10 mins

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy daily breakfast. The dry ingredients can be combined when you have some time, then stored in the fridge until required. Once the liquid & berries are added, the oats are good for three days. I measure out a weeks worth of dry ingredients on the weekend, then add liquid & berries twice times during the week, to have a constant supply of easy breakfasts.

 ½ cup steel cut oats (or whole grain rolled oats)
 2 tbsp ground linseeds (flax seeds)
 1 tbsp chia seeds (any colour)
 ¼ tsp turmeric powder
 ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
 1 pinch ground black pepper
 1 cup water (or plant based milk, or mix of both)
 ½ cup frozen berries (I use raspberries and blueberries)
Optional Ingredients
 1 tbsp hemp seeds
 1 tsp sunflower seeds
 1 tsp pumpkin seeds
 1 tsp goji berries

The combination of turmeric powder and black pepper are a powerful anti-inflammatory. They are included in this recipe for their medicinal benefits. You can’t taste them in the oats, and the turmeric gives the oat mix a lovely golden glow. If you want to know more, search for more information about this on NutritionFacts.org.

For me, the linseeds (flax seeds) in this recipe are essential, as they have so many healthful benefits: "Flax seeds, known as one of the richest sources of essential omega-3 fatty acids and having around one hundred times more cancer-fighting lignans than other foods, have also been demonstrated to prove helpful against breast and prostate cancers; controlling cholesterol, triglyceride, and blood sugar levels; reducing inflammation; and successfully treating constipation." (Source: https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/flax-seeds/). The chia seeds and hemp seeds can be added to taste. I like the texture of the chia, and the taste of the hemp. See what you think.
