STRAWBERRY & TOASTED ALMONDS OVERNIGHT GRAINS

Steps:

• Add water to a large saucepan set over medium-low heat. Stir in the oats, quinoa, and salt. Cook on medium-low, uncovered, until the grains are just tender and the water has evaporated, 15-20 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Stir in the coconut milk, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla. Taste and add additional sweetener if desired. Allow to cool, then pour into eight separate containers (about 1 cup per container). I like to use mason jars because they have lids + they're sturdy and portable. Seal and refrigerate (it should keep for 4-5 days).
• At the time of serving, top with strawberries, almonds, and coconut chips. Eat directly out of the jar or pour into a bowl - your preference!

OVERNIGHT OATS

Steps:

• Place oatmeal and milk into a small plastic container. Place the container in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning drizzle with honey and chopped strawberries.

STARBUCKS OAT BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F and line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of a food processor, grind 2 cups of oats until super fine and flour-like. Add to a large bowl and stir in the remaining 1¾ cups oats and salt. Mix to combine.
• Melt the butter, brown sugar, and maple over medium heat in a small saucepan until the butter is completely melted and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk in the almond milk and vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
• Pour the butter mixture into the oat mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and press the oats into the pan evenly.
• Bake until slightly golden brown, rotating halfway through, 20 minutes. Let cool and then slice into bars.
