Talking about grab and go breakfast… this no-cook oatmeal recipe will be on my Top 5!
Actually, it is a no-cook meal. Yay! Just combine and assemble all the ingredients the night before, and you are all set for a good and healthy breakfast the next day.
I like my fruits to be cut fresh when I eat. So I skip adding the fruits the night before and instead, cut the fruits the next day when I am ready to eat it.
But if you are saving time and literally only have time to grab and go your breakfast in the morning, I suggest to cut the fruits and combine it with the rest of the ingredients the night before.
I learned something good from this recipe, one ingredient that stands out is the ”Chia Seed”. Well, at first, I didn’t know what it is. But after some research, it is actually one of those super foods that do a lot of great things for you without you knowing it.
Chia Seed is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants, provide fiber, iron, and calcium. Omega-3 fatty acids help raise HDL cholesterol, the “good” cholesterol that protects against heart attack and stroke. Source: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/291334.php
Knowing that fact about Chia Seed makes me feel good about myself eating this delicious meal. A great addition to all the other nutritional benefits you will get from the fruits, oatmeal, milk, and yogurt.
It is a power booster food that is great to eat during breakfast or as a snack. You can’t go wrong with it!
Today, I made my version of the no-cook oatmeal with banana and cinnamon.
