This recipe is for one serving -

You will need -

a wide mouth mason jar with lid.

1/2 cup of Organic oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

One quarter of a large banana sliced

A handful of fresh or frozen blueberries

A large pinch of cinnamon

1 tablespoon of Chia seeds

1 tablespoon of Linwood Milled Flax Sunflower, Pumpkin and Sesame seeds with Goji berries

This is a really easy recipe, simply take all the ingredients listed above and add them one by one to your wide mouthed mason jar carefully sealing with the lid. Give it a gentle shake and place in your refrigerator overnight. You can make several jars of overnight oats at once as they keep fresh for several days in the fridge.

Really tasty alternatives to the blueberries are some pieces of apple and a little extra kick of cinnamon. This is also delicious with a sneaky little treat of ‘Sweet Freedom Choc Shot liquid chocolate’. This is a chocolate substitute made from natural fruit extracts and it’s got way less calories than regular hot chocolate, is low GL, and if you must have something sweet is a good alternative to sugar, just keep it in moderation!!
