Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup oat
  • 1 grated apple or other fruit
  • 2 Tbsp soaked almonds or walnuts*
  • 1/2 cup skimmed milk, Kefir,or non-dairy milk
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Soak almonds* overnight in water, drain and chop into pieces. You can skip the soaking if you don't have time.  But I like how soft the almonds are when soaked, and it also removes phytic acid.
  2. Pour oatmeal and nondairy milk into a mason jar. Add grated apple and cinnamon, stir, and cover with a lid. Let sit in the fridge overnight. That's it!
    The next morning, you can take it with you as is, just bring a spoon.  

Notes

*Soaking nuts removes phytic acids, helps nutrient absorption, and makes them easier to digest.
