INGREDIENT NOTES:
WHOLE MILK:
- Add the whole milk to provide a rich, creamy texture in the overnight oats. It also adds additional protein, calcium, & good fats to make them healthier.
GREEK YOGURT:
- Use the whole-milk Greek yogurt to make the oats thick & creamy & increase the protein content in the overnight oats. Reserve a portion for topping to form the real layered look.
OLD-FASHIONED ROLLED OATS:
- Add the old-fashioned rolled oats to provide a soft & chewy texture in the oats. They absorb the liquid nicely during chilling & make a good consistency. We don’t have to utilize instant oats as they get mushy.
CHIA SEEDS:
- Add the chia seeds to thicken the overnight oats naturally, & they provide fiber, vegan protein, & omega fatty acids. They also help create a creamy texture after soaking.
HONEY:
- Add the honey to provide a mild sweet taste without overlapping the taste of tangy yogurt and fruity topping. It also blends easily into the oat mixture to balance the flavor.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- Add the vanilla extract to provide a warm, sweet aroma throughout the overnight oats. Pure vanilla extract enhances the taste and provides a dessert-like taste in the breakfast.
CRUSHED FREEZE-DRIED FRUIT:
- Add the crushed freeze-dried strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, & mango to provide good color & intense fruit flavor in the oats. It creates the decorative “dot cake” look.
