Protein Oats Premix

Overnight oats are one of my favourite breakfasts of all time and I just never get bored of them! There are so many varieties of combinations and flavours that the options are endless! Even though I love them, I find myself rarely eating them because to be honest, remembering to put your oats and berries in a jar every night before bed can be a bit of a schlep, especially when you are having a busy week. That's why I came up with this recipe: it's just a premix of a my favourite dry oats bowl ingredients which can then just be mixed with water or non-dairy milk an hour or so before serving or used as a dry cereal which you can eat with your choice of non-dairy milk. I make a big jar of this on the weekends and it lasts me for breakfast the entire week. You can add any fresh fruits of choice or just enjoy it as is.
