Refrigerator Oatmeal

We are going on our first camping trip this weekend in the Westfalia. Because of our upcoming travel to Ecuador, it will likely also be our last for the year. As we were planning our trip, and planning our grocery list, I remembered a recipe that a friend shared with me recently ... Refrigerator Oatmeal. Ryan, of course cringed at the idea. He's not a big fan of oatmeal, but if it works, it will be super handy!!

Today I will make a jar, and see how it turns out!!

Assemble ingredient and supplies

• Old fashioned oats
• Low-fat Greek Yogurt
• Milk (we'll be using skim)
• Chia Seeds
• Half pint mason jars

I'll be trying for Apple Cinnamon because those are the only ingredients I have :)

• 1/4 cup uncooked oats
• 1/3 cup Skim milk
• 1/4 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1-1/2 tsp Chia seeds (I'm using Chia seed meal)
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 tsp Honey, optional (or substitute any preferred sweetener)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, or enough to fill the jar

In a half pint (1 cup) jar, add oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, cinnamon and honey. Put lid on jar and shake until well combined. Remove lid, add applesauce and stir until mixed throughout. Return lid to jar and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days. Eat chilled.

Day 2

Refrigerator oatmeal = success!

Ryan doesn't like the texture, but says the flavor is ok. Last night I read something, somewhere that said:
Food - What you put in your mouth either makes you more healthy or less healthy.


Ryan says, "It's ok, because at least it's healthy."

So for our trip this weekend, we'll be having Refrigerator Oatmeal for breakfast!
