This breakfast is the perfect solution for those mornings when you're short on time. You can simply pour and go or add all of the ingredients to a jar, give it a shake and throw it in the fridge before crawling into bed. I like to make a few jars ahead of time for quick grab-and-go breakfasts for the week. And while this recipe is easy to make, it’s anything but basic in terms of benefits. Just by adding spices, you’ve easily transformed an unassuming oatmeal into an antioxidant-supercharged breakfast.

Directions

  1. Place plant milk, rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder, and spice blend in a jar. Seal jar and shake well.
  2. The fruit can be added to the jar when preparing or added when ready to serve.
  3. Refrigerate overnight or enjoy right after preparing, soaking oat mixture for 10 minutes.
  4. Eat warmed up or chilled.



Nutritional Highlights

  • Ceylon cinnamon is “true” cinnamon — a lighter, sweeter version with 1,200 times less coumarin (a potential liver-toxic compound) than the standard grocery store cinnamon. Plus, it may regulate blood sugars and limit cancer cell growth.
  • Orange peel contains hesperidin and D-limonene, which may have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects. Bonus: it may also help suppress appetite and protect the liver from toxins. 
  • Ginger has 60+ phytonutrients, some of which may have anti-cancer effects (reduce cancer cell proliferation, alter gene expression, and decrease inflammation). Ginger may even help with weight loss by suppressing fat cell creation and help you feel full after meals. 
  • All three spices may help with blood sugar control and may have potential anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects.
