on the menu // overnight oats

Rosie introduced me to overnight oats a couple weeks back. i wasn't interested at first because i imagined the texture to be like porridge, gooey. 

i normally have muesli with milk for breakfast. it has dried fruits and nuts. because i never leave my muesli soaking in milk for long, it never goes gooey. 

Rosie successfully converted another colleague last week so i thought i'd give it a try too. 

the recipe is easy. equal parts of oats and milk and you can add whatever fruits and nuts you fancy. you can even add yogurt and honey to it. 

last week i tried making mine with frozen blueberries, honey, yogurt and a sprinkling of pumpkin seeds. it was delicious. i put equal parts of milk and oats in a plastic container the night before and added the rest of the 'toppings' in the morning.

today, i had them with strawberries macerated overnight with icing sugar, and yogurt. it was delicious too! it felt like i was having desserts for breakfast but a healthy one. i'm afraid i have to say that i've been converted too.
