Make Your Morning Oats POP!

This is our go to, quick and delicious breakfast using our Buckwheat Crunch Granola!

It doesn’t get much simpler than this for a filling, delicious, unprocessed breakfast! This is a great idea for breakfast on-the-go because the oats, chia and flax soften after soaking for a short period of time! The fruit and Tracy's Real Foods Buckwheat Crunch Granola sweetens the oats very nicely. Change up your fruit & granola choices to enjoy a variety of combinations. 

For milk, I either use Trader Joe's Soy Milk (unsweetened - only soy and water) or I make Hemp Oat Milk! Super easy to make your own and it's also cheaper and more environmental. In this video, I demo the milk (and use it in a Berry Chia Parfait recipe)  and describe how to get those pesky labels and glue off jars you want to reuse! I LOVE my tomato sauce jar (shown above) repurposed as a jar for my homemade milks! 

It's all about the CRUNCH! 

Here I demo how to make Easy Oats Breakfast Bowl (4 minutes).
