Overnight Oats

[neoow]

I'm trying to get into the habit of eating breakfast and I've found that overnight oats work well for me, as I can leave them overnight and take them into work with me.

 

I was wondering whether I could share this with Alfie?

 

The ingredients I use to make them are:

 

rolled oats

skimmed milk

Yoghurt

Frozen berries (blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, raspberries, strawberries)

 

I wasn't sure about the milk and yoghurt?

Some probiotic yogurt is good. I'd say a couple of times a month, maybe? Assuming it's one of the brands w/less fat & sugar. Some brands are way over the top. I'd skip the milk, though. Maybe exchange it for almond or coconut milk on the days you'll be sharing? Or just leave that until after you've separated out his share.

 

My guys are big oatmeal fans, especially warm. They don't care if there's anything in it or not. Me, not so much. So I don't eat it as regularly as maybe I should & I like bunches of stuff in it! But it's simple enough to portion theirs out, then say put my honey into what's left. I'll usually save enough out for a couple of servings so they can get broccoli buds & RPO & other combinations that only they would like for a quick snack later on or maybe their breakfast the following day.

I use an hot cereal consisting of: oatmeal, small piece of banana, cinnamon and occasionally a small drop of almond butter. Warmed up my three heifers go wild for it.

Yeah the milk was the part I was most unsure of. I was fairly sure he could have small amounts of yogurt every now and then as it's something he's had a bit of in the past (mostly when he sticks his beak in mine!) but just wanted to double check. Thank you for the alternative suggestions to the milk! I think I'll give it a go for him to see if he's at all interested.
