Five minutes the night before, and breakfast is ready: creamy oats with papaya, banana and a little crunch.
Serves: 1 · Time: 5 minutes, plus overnight
Ingredients
½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
½ cup milk or unsweetened soy milk
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
½ ripe banana, sliced, or ½ cup diced papaya
A few chopped macadamia nuts or walnuts
A pinch of cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey if you like
Steps
In a jar or bowl, stir together the oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds and cinnamon.
Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours.
In the morning, stir, then top with fruit and nuts. Enjoy cold, or warm it gently.
Tip: for a softer texture, chop the nuts finely or leave them out. If you're watching your blood sugar, skip the honey and choose berries.
