Here is the recipe for the yummy breakfast Ruth and I have been making for some time and we love it:
Overnight oatmeal
- 1/2 Cup organic oats (buying in bulk at Whole Foods is more cost effective than the oats pictured here)
- 2 Tbsp organic Chia Seeds
- 1 cup of Rice milk (what we use), Almond milk, or other healthy “milk” source
- Mix together well in a jar
This is the base for the oatmeal and can be covered overnight in the fridge and then in the morning, add 1-2 Tbsps fresh blueberries, cut up strawberries, sliced bananas or other fruits, honey or syrup.
But, the night before…. we add more to it:
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp peanut butter or sunflower seed butter, etc.
- ½ tsp honey or syrup
- Stir again.
To the top of the mixture, we add:
- 1-2 Tbsp of frozen blueberries
Put in the fridge overnight, or for at least 4 hours. In the morning, stir all together and enjoy.

Have fun adding whatever flavors you want!
