This recipe was brought back from my good friends who were traveling in Australia this past summer. I had the pleasure of house sitting for them while they were gone, and now I reap in the benefits of this yummy breakfast concoction they experienced in the hotels of the Land Down Under.
Experiment with the "add ins" and toppings and make any combination of ingredients that sound good to you. I love the cold, soft texture and the simple mixture of flavors.
Ingredients:
2 cups rolled oats (not the quick cook kind)
1 and 1/4 cup of plain low fat yogurt (or your favourite type)
1 and 1/4 cup apple juice ( you can also use orange or cranberry, but I have not tried these flavors) *
1/2 to 1 cup of "add ins" ( sweetened or unsweetened coconut shreds, dried fruit such as raisins, apricots, dates)
1 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
pinch of nutmeg (optional)
pinch of salt (to bring out the flavors)
optional topping: grated apple, fresh fruit, nuts, ground flax seed
Directions:
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and cover with plastic. Place in the fridge over night.
In the morning you can add a few of the optional toppings if you like.
ENJOY!
* use 100% juice with no added sugars
