Quick Overnight Breakfast Mix

4/12/2015

For those mornings when you don’t have much time, this breakfast is easy to prep ahead of time. You’ll be energized for your busy day!

Ingredients:

¼ cup of old fashion oats
¼ cup of raw or toasted buckwheat groats (or an additional ¼ cup of oats)
1 Tbsp each: ground flax, hemp seeds, chia seeds (or double the chia seeds and leave out the flax and hemp) (Tip: I use this mixture in a lot of foods so I keep a pre-mixed container in my frig all the time...see the picture below)
About 1 ½ cups of your preferred milk (my favorite is full fat coconut milk), you can also use water for some or all of the milk
Optional add-ins: 1 sliced banana, ¼ cup raisins, fresh or frozen (thawed) fruit, raw nuts (almond, cashew, walnut, pecan, etc), unsweetened shredded coconut

Directions:
Combine the oats, buckwheat groats, and chia, hemp, flax mix. This can be made ahead of time and stored in airtight containers until you are ready to use it (the flax and hemp are supposed to be stored in the refrigerator so may either want to leave these ingredients out if preparing the mix in advance or store it in the frig). The night before you plan to eat this, add any of the optional mix-ins you’d like and add the milk. The mixture should seem extra watery at first so don’t be afraid to use a little more than you think (this will all soak in overnight). Place the mixture in the refrigerator overnight and it will be ready in the morning!

NOTES: The optional ingredients can be added for soaking or in the morning before eating. For more versatility, play with adding your favorite spices and maybe even cocoa powder!
