## Overnight raw oatmeal -vegan friendly

This fabulous recipe can be tailored for your taste buds and offers a great quick breakfast option or snack before heading out to the gym or dance class. This no-cook oatmeal will last up for 4 days in the fridge and even the most picky little eaters give this style of oatmeal a thumbs up.

Recommended proportions are listed, but you can vary the amount of chia seeds and oats/groats as desired. The chia seeds are the essential ingredient to help maintain the ‘oatmeal’ consistency.

Makes 1 serving

#### Combine:

- Whole rolled oats or buckwheat groats for a gluten-free option – ¼ cup

- Chia seeds – 2 tablespoons (2 tbp is 26g of seeds)

- Milk of your choice – you can add more before serving – ¾ cup

- Coconut milk offers a great flavour but is higher in healthy fats

- Almond milk gives a nutty flavour and combines best with added nuts

- Soy milk gives a richer and sweeter flavour

- Cinnamon or spices – optional:
            • Try a dash of nutmeg for an autumn flavour

#### Toppings

You can add toppings immediately or when you are ready to serve the oatmeal, add toppings for fun, colour or bonus flavour.

- Nuts - whole or sliced. Remember nuts will soften overnight. Looking for crunch? Add nuts just before serving.

- Seeds - raw pumpkin seeds are great!

- Berries, apple slices

- Ground flaxseed - this superfood helps to balance estrogen levels and add fiber

Combine all ingredients in a sealable bowl, stir, put in fridge overnight.

Voila!
