INGREDIENTS:
-
250 ml of soy/almond/cow’s or goat’s milk
(soy or animal-based milks preferably organic) -
50 g Oatmeal or rolled oats

20 g Chia seeds

1 small pear or apple

-
Pour in the bowl and mix with oats

NOTE:
-
Make this recipe in the evening and store it overnight.
-
Prepare toppings in the evening to save time and add fresh
in the morning. -
Chia seeds could be replaced by flaxseeds, but the taste
will be completely different (we like both) -
The lowest calorie drink you could add is almond or
another unsweetened nut-based drink. -
Chia seeds can be used whole, but not preferred.
EXTRA NOTE FOR HEALTH NUTS:
-
If you have time you could boil the cut-up fruit for a minute or so to deactivate the enzymes responsible for ripening. The fruit will oxidize less.
-
If you’re having several daily servings of dairy, unfermented, consider using an alternative nut or soy based drink (unsweetened).
