Hello all, welcome back!
This Sunday has been pretty hectic for me as I've got a psychology essay due in tomorrow - yikes! Following that I have a 2 hour lecture and *fingers crossed* I'll make it to the gym for an hour after that, because it's all systems go I wanted to make sure I had breakfast ready to eat - quite possibly in a lecture if I'm late.
It's times like this when I look to overnight oats (sometimes called summer porridge). This simple breakfast is something which has recently become insanely popular, and quite possibly because it's quick, easy and can be super good for you.
The recipe that I make is a mix of a few different recipes that I found online using ingredients that I always have in, the beauty of this is that you can completely cater it to suit your diet and your life. So, here's my version:
 |
| ingredients available at any supermarket // measuring cups/spoons £1 for both, Poundland |
Ingredients:
> 1/2 cup Quick Cook Porridge oats- I like ready brek as it gives a super smooth texture
> 1/2 cup milk- I like using semi-skimmed
> 1/4 cup Greek yogurt- I use non fat, but just choose your favourite Greek yogurt
> 2 tsp honey
> Cup measures and spoon measures
> A pot with a lid- any you want, I use a small circular tub so I can eat on the go if need be, but you can transfer your oats to a bowl if you have more time in the morning
> PLUS any fruit/nuts/seeds you wish to add for extra flavour
Method:
Literally all you do is add everything into your tub, stir together, put the lid on and refrigerate overnight. So so simple!
I used chocolate ready brek for this to add more flavour(I plan to add orange segments when I eat it) but you can add a whole range of things, pretty much whatever you want! Fruit works especially well, you can add this fresh/frozen/dried/pureed,nuts and seeds also work great, as does peanut butter. On my Pinterest account (Grace Collinson, @collinson0579) I've created a board called Blogstuff where I pin things related to blogs posts, you'll also find a few overnight oat variations, I find that experimenting is the best way to find out what you like.
Not the best looking but it is the best tasting!
I'm hoping to make this into a 3/4 part mini series so you can get a glance of some of my favourite things to eat, now I'm at uni I find making your own can often be the cheapest way to shop, especially if you're smart with your ingredients and have the time to make food. It's also a great way to make food and freeze it for when you're short on time- or money!
I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know some of your favourite breakfast dishes! See you on Sunday!
Stay golden, Gracie xo
