At the Weight and Wellness Center the dietitian mentioned overnight steel cut oats. I decided to try it. I think I already posted about it but could not find it so here we go again.
We are in Maine for the week. We have a full kitchen in the unit so we brought a few supplies for cooking.
Quick and Easy Overnight Steel Cut Oats with Blueberries
In a quart glass canning jar (I like glass containers whenever possible) place 2/3 cups steel cut oats. Add 3 Tablespoons chia seeds. Stir well. Add 1 1/2 cups coconut almond milk and put on the cover. Shake well.
Remove cover and add 1-1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries. Cover again and shake very well. Store in refrigerator overnight.
In the morning enjoy a big dish of very healthy no-sugar-added-no-added-fat cereal. It taste surprisingly yummy.
This should be 2-3 servings, depending on your appetite.

Munchie Monday: Food Failure
Just to add to the list of food failures...I thought I would make a smooth that someone on Facebook posted and said it was great. News Flash: It was not. I can eat almost anything, but this was definitely not pleasing. A little too gritty. Having said that, Dear One ate his whole serving!
This is what was in it:
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup frozen cherries
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 Tablespoon ground flax seeds
1 teaspoon chia seeds
3 ounces firm tofu, chopped
1 cup almond or other plant milk
Put everything except the almond milk in your sturdy blender (if the frozen strawberries were very large, chop them somewhat).
Pour the milk on top and blend well. It makes a nice thick smoothie.
WELL....it was not the best. It was certainly good for you, BUT the taste was not the best. For one thing, I did not have blueberries which were actually called for in the recipe.
For the main problem: we are accustomed to orange juice-based smoothies. Having an almond milk-based smoothie did not work for our tastes. You may love it.
