Cold Vegan Overnight Oatmeal


When you pick your friends be sure one of them


He or She will be so eager to share their knowledge and recipes
of whole food plant based goodness


And they will feed you
and feed you
and feed you


You will glow with health and wellness after you spend a weekend with them
Not Lying 


So these images are my own masterpieces
that I have made since arriving home
from the most incredible, nourishing
(emotionally, spiritually, physically, nutritionally)
weekend with my lovely girlfriends


As you know I have been cooking my 
overnight oatmeal 
in my 2.5 qt crock pot

I have some ideas for you:


But this recipe approach is different
You make it cold!
And you eat it cold!

Editor's Note:  
"And no messy crock pot to scrub."


The first few nights I made my  
"Cold Vegan Overnight Oatmeal"
in the mug above
but then I decided to treat myself with this

Don't you just love the frosty chilled morning afterglow
of this jar?
You know it is going to be delicious
and good for you
Right?


God help anyone who touches it.
Ha!


The recipe is so simple


Dry oatmeal
Almond milk
Frozen mixed berries
Pure Canadian Maple Syrup 
Almond slivers, raisins, Chia Seeds etc. (optional)


Before bed grab your ingredients and a container
Place 1/2 cup dry oats into bottom
Cover with almond milk (keep pouring until it soaks in and covers it)
Top with 1/2 cup or more of still frozen berry mix
cover and place in fridge



Go to bed


Wake up
Drizzle your 
"Cold Vegan Overnight Oatmeal"
with pure Canadian Maple Syrup


Top with a few spoonfuls of various toppings of your choice
Chia seeds etc.


Enjoy!

The Oatmeal Project: Cherry Almond Date Night Recipe


Recently I enjoyed a generous bowl of oatmeal
at a castle wedding.


I couldn't stop thinking about it.



I decided to purchase a 2.5 Qt. Crock Pot

(All research suggested best results achieved with a small 2.5 crock pot)


This was my first bowl of goodness
this morning.


So good for you
and a crowd-pleaser.


Here is my humble recipe:

1 cup Steel Cut Oats
1 cup Regular Oats
2 tbsp. Flax Seeds
2 tbsp. dried cherries
2 tbsp. raisins
2 tbsp. sunflower seeds
2 tbsp. slivered almonds
4 pitted dates rough chopped small
3.5 cups water

At 10 pm or so
coat your crock pot with thin layer oil or spray
to prevent sticking
set on 'low'

Add all the ingredients
then mix in the water

stir well

close lid
Go to Bed

Wake up 
6 am
Enjoy a bowl of dreamy oatmeal
top with a tbsp of almonds
or topping of choice

(Now you are ready for your 'Date Night')
