Well it has been too long between recipes .. not for lack of inspiration, actually its the opposite ... I've been too busy cooking ... preferring my kitchen to my computer!! But here we go .. I'm back with an amazingly easy no cook, no fuss breakfast that I am loving. I have been inspired lately by two books.. one is Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom by Acharya Shunya and from this I have been been inspired to create some Ayurvedic deliciousness. This breakfast ticks all the boxes, it's high in protein, fibre and taste .. ENJOY
Almond Overnight Oats
Serves 2 (one for you and a friend or two mornings worth of breakfasts!)
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 cups almond milk (I use Nutty Bruce Activated Almond milk ~delicious)
2 tablespoons almond butter
2 medjool dates
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamon
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch sea salt
Method
1. In the evening, divide the oats and chia seeds equally into two jars with tight fitting lids
2. Put the rest of ingredients in a blender and blend on high until ingredients are truly well mixed (like a smoothie)
3. Pour liquid mixture evenly into the jars over the oats and chia seeds. Seal jars and shake well... the secret is to shake, shake, shake.
4. Store overnight at room temperature - I pop mine in the pantry.
5. In the morning you can eat your breakfast straight from the jar - add some blueberries or coconut flakes. I prefer my straight up ..
Note: you can substitute coconut milk or cows milk instead of almond milk if that it your thing!
