Quick and Healthy Yoga Breakfast: Overnight Oats

Healthy Yoga Breakfast in a jiffy
My favorite breakfast recipe at the moment is "overnight oats"... it's easy, tasty and healthy. The basis of this breakfast is oatmeal, and "oats" contains just like bread vitamins, proteins and is therefore a good replacement for the old-fashioned sandwich breakfast. It does not contain gluten. Oatmeal is cheap, gives a lot of energy and is good for your intestines.
After taking a cold shower in the morning and doing my yoga exercises 💪🧘 it's time for a big cup of yogi tea and a nutritious breakfast! My mornings (after yoga) are always busy busy busy with children and animals to take care of and so it is super handy that you prepare this breakfast -especially- in advance. At night in the fridge it becomes nice and creamy and full of flavor. This is my "loose wrist" recipe, I shake the ingredients by feeling in a bowl with a lid. That produces a different flavor every day. You can adjust the ingredients to taste, for example by adding other nuts, using different milk and adding fresh fruit. I always use vegetable milk for my overnight oats because I don't like the sour (after)taste of cow's milk and because I notice that it is mucus-thickening. You can also use semi-skimmed milk or (unsweetened) soy milk.
What do you need for 1 portion of overnight oats?
* 5 tablespoons oatmeal
* 1 tablespoon chia seeds
* 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
* 1 tablespoon linseed
* 5 dried plums, chopped or a handful of raisins
* 200 ml almond milk
* teaspoon cinnamon
* optional: 1 spoon of yoghurt or cottage cheese
* honey to taste
How do you make these easy & healthy overnight oats?
* Put all ingredients together in a bowl with a lid, stir well
* The extra spoonful of yoghurt or cottage cheese makes it even creamier
* Place the bowl in the refrigerator at night
* If you want a super quick breakfast, stir the oats well in the morning, add honey to taste and enjoy!
* If you, like me, don't like ice cold porridge, warm the porridge for a minute or two in a pan or in the microwave. Don't boil, just warm it up.
* Add extra fresh fruit: My summer favorite: Raspberry!
Sat nam, enjoy your meal 💚
