Make ahead breakfasts

In the mornings it can be hard to get up early enough to make quality food. So here are some ideas for what to make the night before. The great thing is if you use the right container you can take it with you too.

 CHIA SEED PUDDING:
1 cup non dairy milk
2/3 cup chia seeds
Splash vanilla (optional)
Toppings

Mix together everything except the toppings and refrigerate. Wait at least 5 hours to eat. Top with desired toppings and enjoy.

OVERNIGHT OATS:
1 cup non dairy milk
1 cup oats
1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp peanut butter
Toppings
Mix everything together in to a container of your choosing. Refridgerate for at least 5 hours or overnight. Top and enjoy.



Notes:
Chia seed pudding: It is good to eat in a few hour (4-5) if desired. Also if it turns out too think of too runny change the amount of chia seeds as desired. The more chia seeds the thicker it becomes.
Overnight Oats: I made my first cup (pictured) in a peanut butter jar when only a little bit was left.

Recipe: Fruit Frozen Yogurt

This is by far one of the easiest things I have ever made and it is delicious too. First I made peach using the recipe I found on Just a Taste and that was good but then I decided to use the frozen fruit I had on hand. Now its strawberry and mixed berry I keep making.

Fresh out of the food processor
~12 oz frozen fruit- your choice
4 oz plain yogurt 
3 Tbsp. Honey or agave nectar
1 Tbsp Fresh lemon juice

Mix together in a food processor until smooth. Serve immediately or freeze for storage; I recommend freezing it so it can thicken and become a better consistency.

Notes:
Make sure to break the fruit apart well so that it can combine well. Cutting the strawberries helps it blend better and quicker.
The individual containers work too. It's six ounces of yogurt but it doesn't matter too much for this recipe.
Freezing it will change the flavor some. It's kind of weird but it lets the flavors come together better. However if it is frozen it too long it will have to sit out to thaw some.
