Cold & Creamy Oatmeal

A PERFECT protein-packed breakfast or snack!

Ingredients-

  • 1/4 cup old fashioned oats (any brand)
  • 1/4 cup muesli (I like Bob's Red Mill- it has oats, raisins, sunflower seeds, almonds, flaxseeds and walnuts)
  • 1/2 container (3 oz) nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt (Greek yogurt has a thick, creamy texture and more than twice the amount of protein than regular yogurt! I like Chobani Greek yogurt.)
  • 2/3 cup milk (I use Original Almond Breeze instead of milk because it's low calorie and has a creamy, nutty flavor)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soak up the milk/yogurt. I usually leave it in the fridge overnight so it is ready to eat in the morning.
