Here is a simply satisfying morning meal that is creamy, packed with nutrients and vegan style. This is basically an effortless chilled porridge. I used gluten-free oats with banana, flax seed meal, almond milk, cinnamon and pure vanilla. This is combined well together overnight in the refrigerator. A great meal for on-the-go, easy to create with real-food ingredients and so yummy. This is perfect to have cooled for those hot and humid days and warmed up for those chilly type of weather days. A complete nourishing meal for the soul. Also, feel free to mix it up with ingredients you prefer and creative toppings. Hope you enjoy!

 

 

YIELD: one bowl

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 banana, mashed

2 tbsp flax seed meal

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup rolled oats, gluten free

3/4 cup almond milk, or preferred type

1/2 tsp pure vanilla

 

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a small bowl, mash the banana well until smooth. Add in the cinnamon and flax seed meal: combine well.

Stir in the rolled oats to the banana mixture until smooth. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate, or at least for two hours.

In the am, stir the oats to combine. If it feels to runny you may add in more flax and if too thick, add in more milk for a smoother consistency. You may warm it up, or have it just as is. Don’t forget to add in the toppings for garnish. Enjoy!
