“Overnight Swiss Oatmeal” Submitted by Jenna Weber

This overnight oatmeal has been a creation of mine that I have enjoyed for years. Because of the Greek yogurt,

the bowl contains a whopping 18 grams of protein and, therefore, keeps you going for hours on end. The

inclusion of sliced almonds adds healthy monounsaturated fats, which help reduce the LDL cholesterol (bad!)

and raise the HDL cholesterol (good!). Plus, this oatmeal is perfectly suited for busy mornings when you just

don’t have time to stand in front of the stove or microwave cooking your oats. Here, the oats “cook” overnight in

the water as they soften, reducing the need for heat. This breakfast bowl can be ready in 3 minutes flat and is

even appetizing on hot summer days when a steamy bowl of oatmeal is not. I love to enjoy this oatmeal with a

hot cup of black tea. Enjoy!

OVERNIGHT SWISS OATMEAL

Ingredients:

3/4 cup Quaker Quick Oats

1/2 cup water

pinch of sea salt

1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt (such as Fage or Oikos brand)

1/2 banana, sliced thin

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon pure maple syrup

1 tablespoon sliced almonds

1/2 small apple, grated

 

Directions:

The night before, combine the oats and the water in a cereal bowl along with a pinch

of sea salt. Let sit overnight in the fridge. In the morning, take out the bowl from the

fridge and add the greek yogurt, grated apple, cinnamon, nutmeg and banana. Stir to

combine. Top with the sliced almonds and the pure maple syrup. Enjoy!
