Breakfast Porridge

One of my favorite go-to breakfasts is an overnight chia seed and oats porridge. It is so simple to prep a few for the week. And if you are just not feeling like this for breakfast, it is also a great lunch, snack, or dessert.

Grab some mason jars, small bowls, or even some cute stemless wine glasses to put all your ingredients in, place them in the fridge after covering and wait till the following day, and you have a super easy, quick breakfast.

You can add your favorite fruits, sweeteners, and/or nuts for some diversity and more flavor. The combinations are endless and will fit into your palate's desires. One of my favorites is peanut butter and banana.

Oats: Old-fashioned is the best. If you are in a time crunch, use quick oats; for longer soaking time, use steel-cut.

Milk: Any milk of your choice. 1:1 ratio for oats and milk.

Chia seeds: 1/4:1 ratio to Oats

Yogurt: This is optional but adds creaminess and is an excellent protein and probiotic.

That is the basics. I put in 1/4 cup of oats to a 1/4 cup of milk. I switch between coconut, almond, and 2% milk. For the chia seeds, I put in 1 tablespoon to 1/4 cup of kefir, and yogurt (Greek or regular), mix, cover, and place in the fridge. If you like it sweet, add in some of your favorite sweeteners. Keep it proportionate.

In the morning, I grab my porridge, add some toppings and enjoy.
