Chilled Overnight Oatmeal (for those hot & muggy Connecticut mornings!)

This chilled breakfast is easy and delish! Overnight Oatmeal is surprisingly good, I admit I was a bit nervous that it would have a weird consistency. 

Chilled Overnight Oatmeal 

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

2/3 cup of rolled oats (not steel-cut or quick-cooking!)

1 Tablespoon Chia seeds

1 cup unsweetened & unflavored almond milk

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

1 organic Gala apple

pinch coconut sugar or teaspoon of maple syrup, or agave, etc.

sprinkle of cinnamon

Directions: 

Stir together the oats, Chia seeds, milk & lemon juice in a medium bowl. Cover & refrigerate overnight. Easy, huh? Here comes the hard part: grate or thinly slice the organic apple and add to the oatmeal with cinnamon and pinch of coconut sugar or your sweetener of choice. Enjoy!

If you are one of those people like myself who tend to be very clumsy in the mornings you could pre-slice the apple the night before and toss with a little lemon juice to keep it from oxidizing.
