It's been quite dreary and cold in Finland for couple of days. I've had early mornings at work and thus I've fallen in love with making over night oats for breakfast! So easy, quick and so many ways to make a delicious overnight oats bowl that is waiting for you all ready in the refrigerator on the busy mornings. Additionally it's good for you! In this post I'll share one of my recent favorite overnight oats bowl recipe I've created. I'll make another post as well containing couple of different oatmeal recipes since lately I've been doing a lot of these! (:
Rosehip - raspberry overnight oats
- rolled oats (old fashioned :)
- vanilla flavored soy milk
- ~3/4 cup of rose hip puree
- a little raisins/dates
- sunflowerseeds
- pumpkinseeds
- frozen raspberries
Take a bowl or a soup plate, put into it a suitable amount of rolled oats for you and the amount of vanilla flavored soy milk adjusted to the amount of rolled oats, so the oats will mostly absorb the "milk". Add the rose hip puree and mix a bit. Toss over the oats a few raisins, or pieces of dried dates and place to the refrigerator over night. In the morning just top the bowl with some seeds & a few frozen raspberries. :) (You can smash the raspberries a bit so they will spread more evenly!)
With gluten free rolled oats it's gluten free portion. It's also a dairy free & vegan friendly breakfast.
Rose hip puree is delicious with a bit added sweetness, particularly rich in vitamin C and contains the carotenoids, beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin and lycopene which all give us plenty of nutritional benefits and are very good for us!
In a scheduled day a smoothie is an easy, quick and effortless way to have something delicious, healthy and packed with nutrition to keep you going. For the weather has been rainy and cold I decided again to create something refreshing to drink.
On yesterday evening I created this perky smoothie blend packed with vitamins and fresh flavors to wake myself up for work today :D I named this yellow drink as
Sunny day... and for recreating it you'll need:
- 2-bananas
- 2-granny smith apples (or a bit sour apples)
- a handful of fresh mint leaves
- a cup of pineapple chunks
- a cup of mango chunks
- 1/4 cup of sea buckthorn
- an orange, squeezed
- ice cubes & protein powder
These amounts of ingredients made a little bit over one liter of ready smoothie. You can easily adjust the amounts also to a smaller portion of smoothie. Peel the fruits and chop. Place everything to the blender and blend! (:
Now it's time to prepare the overnight oats bowl for tomorrow morning and then start to orientate myself towards the bed so I'm able to get up at 5.45 in the morning.
~Hopefully everyone has been having a nice week!~
Good night to U, or what ever time it's for U 😘
