Wellness Wednesday/Overnight Oats

Welcome back to Wellness Wednesday! This morning, former NFL player Tim Hightower is sharing one of his favorite (healthy) on the go breakfast recipes! Check it out below!

1. Oats: Use plain old-fashioned oats and not quick oats because the consistency is best with rolled oats. You can also use gluten-free oats. 2. Milk: For the liquid part, you can actually make this with water! But it’s more common to use milk. You can also use plant-based milk like almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk or oat milk. 3. Chia Seeds (optional): These seeds are packed with tons of nutrition, and they help give the oats a pudding-like texture. 4. Greek or vegan yogurt (optional): This gives the oats a tangy flavor, creamy texture and boost of protein. 5. Vanilla extract (optional): This enhances all the flavors that go into the overnight oatmeal as well as giving it sweetness without any sweetener. 6. Sweetener (optional): Use date syrup to sweeten the mixture, especially because oats can be somewhat bland on their own. (can also use honey or maple syrup) 1 part oats + 1 part milk + 1/8 part seeds To start, combine old-fashioned oats and chia seeds. You can use a bowl, a mason jar or just some glass cups. Next, add the Greek or vegan yogurt and vanilla extract. Then add the sweetener of choice and the milk. Then mix the overnight oats together until you see no clumps. Next, seal or cover with a lid, and chill in the fridge. Find more wellness tips on his YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2ozxqvQ
