This is one of my very first pins from The Yummy Life.
I make this all the time now. It has simple ingredients that I have on hand and can make a few at one time. It is super filling and is very weight watching friendly.
I did try it the way Ms Matheny posted, minus the Chia Seeds. I had everything else in my pantry but those.
After my initial few trials, I have made a few changes.
First off, I don't use the mason jar. I eat breakfast at work and a glass container is heavier to carry and would probably break within a week with the way I toss my lunch bag at times.
I don't use the greek yogurt. I try to keep the food cost down and a large container of plain yogurt is about $2.00 cheaper than a large container of Greek yogurt.
My favorite flavor is the Banana Cocoa. I buy more bananas just so I can make this. Instead of the tablespoon of cocoa powder, I use a teaspoon. Plenty of chocolate flavor in one teaspoon.
I found that the Mango Almond can be interchangable. I use vanilla instead of almond extract and switch up the fruit with whatever I have on hand.
You can also play with the milk amount to get the consistancy you want. If you make more than one at a time, you may want to add more milk to the one that will sit longer. It will get thicker the longer it sits.
Thank you Ms Mathney for giving me a new way to enjoy oatmeal and a healthier breakfast option!
