This recipe is great! I use steel cut oats instead of regular oatmeal and this is a fav! I don’t add a banana in this recipe, instead I add sliced banana on it along with blueberries, ground flax seed and a little honey. I have never cared for oatmeal, it is a texture thing. The steel cut oats give it a tiny bit of texture which I like. I finally live breakfast because of this recipe!!!

This recipe is the bomb. It’s delicious and easy to make. It was a hit with everyone including the vegan guests at my annual brunch party. I’m making this weekly for my family and they love it.

So good!! I love warm oatmeal, but this is such an easy, fast and yummy alternative. I used mason jars for ease with 1/2 c oats, 1/3 c skim milk, 2-3 spoonfuls of vanilla greek yogurt and cinnamon. Before eating, I added a splash more milk and a small amount of fruit (chopped strawberries or blueberries). I did try warming it once-still good, but I feel like it is more flavorful cold. I’m hooked!

I LOVE THIS!! I did 1/2 cup oats 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk, sweetened coconut flakes , a few espresso morsels ( made with coffee because I love coffee lol ) and frozen blueberries and in the morning I put a splash of heavy whipping cream it was soooooo good and kept me full all day

I am loving this. Took a reviewers advice and used a mason jar —- chia, almond milk and oats and then in the morning a splash more of almond milk, a handful of fresh blueberries and half teaspoon of honey and I am full till lunch! And so quick to jet out the door to work! THANK YOU!!!!!!

Delicious and so easy! I did modify slightly. I added a scoop of Protein Powder, and Omitted the Banana. Also used Plain Greek Yogurt. Loved it!!

Love it! I was looking for an easy healthy breakfast that can take with to work. I prepared 3 (16oz mason jars) using all ingredients, I just added a spoon of peanut butter. I had the first 2 I prepared Monday, then Tuesday forgot to grab the 3rd on Wednesday so I had it Thursday. It was still fresh and delicious. Love the east recipe. I just made 3 more for the week.
The 3
