    I used skim milk instead of the almond milk, a 1/2 tsp of real maple syrup and a dash of cinnamon. 148 calories and was delicious!

    Will be putting this in the breakfast rotation.

    Maybe someone answered this, but I don't have time to go through every page. The oatmeal isn't hot?

    I've had steel oats before and didn't like them, but this sounds really good. I'll give it a try!

    yep, answered before - no - not hot. This is a cold only recipe.

    ew. please don't heat them...

    This method of preparation reminds me of the instructions for muelsi, which is similar to oatmeal.

    I like this recipie too.........i however have not convinced the men in my house that its good! I wish it kept longer.......ended up using flax seeds instead of chia, and this morning i mixed 1/2 jar it with my visalus shake and milk for a super creamy yummy filling meal!!

    cook it with extra water, it will expand over night in the refrigerator and absorb all the water.

    A serving of plain oatmeal
    a table spoon of honey
    a table spoon of slivered almonds
    a table spoon of shreded coconut

    Its so delicious its a great way to start my day and also the almonds give it enough crunch!

    Its also yummy with some powdered peanut butter, cocoa powder and half a banana!

    This is how I eat it...every single morning...without the peanut butter.

    I use half a banana cocoa powder and chocolate soy milk. It actually ends up being like 250 cals sometimes more but it is so good and filling.

    I've also been putting a little splash (a very very tiny drizzle) of sugar free chocolate syrup on top. YUMMMMMMMMMMMM!

    I've never had Chia seeds either so I throw in ground flax seed.

    I tried this last night.

    Before I stuck it in the fridge:

    After, at work, I emptied it in a bowl and added some granola on top!

    This is inspired me to try it with my quick oats so I just put this all in a jar:

    1/2 cup quick oats
    8 oz unsweetened almond milk
    1 scoop vanilla protein powder
    1 T unsweetened cocoa powder
    2 T PB2

    I really hope it turns out well with the quick oats and I also hope it tastes like the no-bake cookies I used to make as a kid! lol

    Just want to let everyone know while the flavor if my experiment was very yummy, it turned into oatmeal soup lol.... Probably too much liquid. But I still ate it. I added an oz of slivered almonds for crunch. You ready for the stats on this breakfast?
    550 cals, 46 grams protein, 24 grams of MONOunsaturated fat, 43 g carbs, 13 grams of fiber and only 300 mg of sodium.
    I imagine I will not be hungry again for a few hours lol

    Such a great breakfast!!

    I eat this stuff every morning, and have come up with some wonderful additions.....

    I always start with...
    1/3c oats of your choice (Im really liking the steel cut oats lately)
    1Tbsp ground flax seed,
    1/2 Tbsp chia seeds
    1/3c plain greek yogurt,
    1/3c almond milk
    1tsp brown sugar blend splenda (or honey sometimes)

    From there, I add whatever I am in the mood for, (or whatever I happen to have lying around at the time).

    If i want an extra boost of protein, I will add a scoop of protein powder.

    Some of my favourites additions are....
    -blueberry vanilla (1/4c blueberries and 1 tsp vanilla),
    -Choco banana (1/2 mashed banana and 1tsp cocoa powder)
    -Berry blend (1/2 c raspberries, sliced strawberries, and raspberries)
    -Apple cinnamon (1/2 an apple diced, and cooked in microwave for 1 minute, 1/2 tsp cinnamon)
