I love to EAT.
Well I know, skinny girl like me does not need any diet plans. But it doesn't mean I don't eat clean and healthy.
Eating is my favorite pass time but you could hardly see me munching on snacks, I don't know why. As most of my blogs displaying high cholesterol and a little complex cooking recipes, this time I'll make a simple yet powerful grab-and-go breakfast recipe - Overnight Rolled Oats with Chia seeds, Banana & Chocolate.
Steel-Cut, Rolled and Quick Oats. What's the difference?
Steel-Cut Oats:
We get steel-cut oats when the whole groat is split into several pieces. It makes a chewy, nutty-tasting porridge when simmered with water. Steel-cut oats are also sometimes called Irish oatmeal.
Rolled-Oats:
Also known as Old-Fashioned Oats. Rolled-Oats are created when oat groats are steamed and then rolled into flakes. This process stabilizes the healthy oils in the oats, so they stay fresh longer and it cook faster than whole groats or steel-cut oats.
Quick Oats:
If you roll the oat thinner, and/or steam them longer, you create quick oats. They cook more quickly, but retain less of texture.
What about Chia Seeds?
Chia is an edible seed that comes from desert plant Salvia Hispanica, a member of the mint family that grows abundantly in southern Mexico.
Overloaded with benefits, I know. Let's get started!
INGREDIENTS:
Rolled-Oats
1 teaspoon Chia seeds
Full cream milk (You can use any milk you like)
Swiss chocolate - roughly chopped (You can replace with dark or normal milk chocolate)
Fresh banana (thinly sliced)
Cereals
Ferrero Rocher* - Optional (for Garnishing only)
Mason jars
1. In a mason jar, put in the rolled-oats, chia seeds, chopped Swiss chocolate and milk.
2. I am using 1:1 part of rolled-oats and milk.
3. You may replace with Almond or Low fat milk if Full cream milk is too heavy for you.
4. Top with fresh sliced bananas.
5. Cover with lid and leave in the fridge overnight for at least 8 hours.
6. Before consuming, top with cereals and a piece of Ferrero Rocher for extra chocolate kick.
