Quick & Easy Summer Breakfast
I ran across a recipe similar to this just yesterday and had to give it a try immediately. I am a big breakfast fan and this easy little something is filling, good for you and deeee-licious!
Here is my version:
1/2 cup Rolled Oats
2/3 cup Silk soy milk (light) (or almond milk, or vanilla flavored organic milk…)
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (or greek, or non-fat…)
a few sprinkles of Cinnamon Sugar mixture (or cinnamon, or brown sugar…)
Strawberries (or raspberries, blueberries, sliced banana, or honey…)
*UPDATE from 8.1.12*
1/2 scoop Vanilla protein powder (scoop comes in container)
You can truly make this recipe your own!
I used one of my boys’ Thermos brand cold/hot food storage containers, but I think any air tight container would be fine.
Add 1/2 cup of oats, 2/3 cup of silk, 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt, 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein powder and a few dashes of cinnamon sugar and stir thoroughly. Put your container of oatmeal soy milk mixture in the refrigerator overnight. Yes, refrigerate it! Sounds weird, but please give it a try! When breakfast rolls around, pull it out of the fridge, add a few more dashes of cinnamon sugar and stir well. Throw your fruit on top and dig in! Cool, healthy and really tasty. This is coming from a girl who has never ever been a fan of oatmeal. Ever. I had it this morning and prepped my breakfast for tomorrow just a few minutes ago!
Update from 8.1.12 ~ I bought a large tub of vanilla protein powder at Target the other day and experimented with it, finding that a whole scoop made my oatmeal a bit too thick for my liking, but half a scoop was just perfect – amping up the vanilla flavor and giving me a smidge more protein to keep me full through the morning.
