Thanks to my good friend Lauren for posting this link yesterday for Overnight, No-Cook Refrigerator Oatmeal<\/a>.\u00a0 Doesn’t it look interesting and tasty and too good not to try?\u00a0 Especially in the summer time when nobody wants to stand in front of a hot stove.\u00a0 The author at The Yummy Life<\/a> discovered that this “summer porridge” has been around for a long time – which of course makes sense with such a good idea.\u00a0 Nonetheless, I’m glad she found it and posted up such a thorough how-to.<\/p>\n

Last night, Laurent put together a couple of Heidmann versions for us to try this morning – a double batch of Maple Blueberry, and a quadruple batch of Strawberry Coconut.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Maple Blueberry Refrigerator Oatmeal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup uncooked steel cut oats
\n2\/3 cup 1% milk
\n1\/2 cup non-fat Greek Yogurt
\n1 1\/2 tsp. ground flax seed
\n1 1\/2 tsp. hemp seeds
\n4 tsp. maple syrup
\n1\/2 cup blueberries<\/p>\n

\nAs you can see above, the blueberry version turned out a bit more runny – probably because of the syrup.\u00a0 But it was tasty, to be sure.\u00a0 However, the Strawberry Coconut was INCREDible.<\/p>\n

Strawberry Coconut Refrigerator Oatmeal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1 cup uncooked steel cut oats
\n1 1\/3 cup 1% milk
\n1 cup non-fat Greek Yogurt
\n3 tsp. ground flax seed
\n3 tsp. hemp seeds
\n2 cups strawberries, quartered
\n1\/3 – 1\/2 cup coconut<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even without added sweetener, this was somehow sweeter than the blueberry.\u00a0 I suspect it was the coconut that made it thicker and more “porridgy”.\u00a0 At any rate, this first experiment was a grand success.\u00a0 I do hope to pick up some chia seeds next time I’m at Sprouts.\u00a0 This would also be delicious with the added flavor and health benefits of cinnamon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>AND, how can I forget to thank Monica for alerting me to the existence of PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter<\/strong><\/a>!\u00a0 All the flavor, 85% less fat!
\nGot to try it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
