Recipes just don't get any easier than this. Less than 10 minutes, refrigerate overnight and BOOM! ready to start another busy day perfectly fueled with healthy plant-based protein, fat and carbs. Adding Chia seeds give it an extra punch of Omega-3 fatty acids (healthy fat), as well as iron, calcium, magnesium and fiber. Even if you're not an oatmeal fan (like me), give this a try and see how your day goes. Your body will thank you!
