Ok first off let me start by saying I have been OOBER skeptical of these things since I've seen them floating around the Internet and even my challenge groups! I've wanted to try them for a seriously LONG time and I'm soooo happy I did!! They were totally DELISH! Here's my little "disclaimer" however......if you are making them thinking by some MIRACLE you are going to wake to some super fab oatmeal...FORGET it! These aren't for you! They are NOT the consistency of oatmeal and if actual oatmeal is what you are craving then problem stick to good old fashioned oatmeal. What I LOVED about these is how different they tasted and the little peanut buttery surprise you would get with each bite!!! The beautiful thing about these is you can make sooooo many different combinations! My daughter had blueberry almond and that one was fantastic too. So give these a try and see what your taste buds think. I know for me I am LOVING the quick, ready to go breakfast on the days I go into work early AND with the added BONUS that they seriously make me feel full QUICK! :)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup steel cut oats (you could also use regular old fashioned oats, I just prefer the steel cut)
2 tbsp natural peanut butter
1 tbsp sliced almonds
1 tbsp chia seeds
12 oz mason jar or even the next size down (I did NOT have smaller mason jars so I had to improvise and use my big salad ones until I go to the store this weekend! They worked fine, they just looked wimpy! LOL)
Mix all the ingredients together in a mason jar, put the lid on and pop them into the fridge! In the morning pull it out, I suggest trying it cold first and if you don't like it cold pop it into the microwave for about 40-50 seconds. I do prefer it warmed a bit when I have the peanut butter in there...the melt-iness of the peanut butter makes me HAPPY! (yep, I made that word up!)
