1. Welcome: Hi, I'm Chuck Joanna, and this is my course on
overnight gluten-free breakfast. Went through a challenge
where I felt that I was not getting the energy
for my breakfast that I wanted felt really bad. 1112 in the morning, then I get super hungry. So I created myself a little challenge and the
planet the night before. And then when I wake
up in the morning, I'm not only looking forward
to it, I'm going to eat, But I eat it and then I
feel a lot more energized, kind of made my day
more positive to choose more healthy options and just made it
a little easier. Because I plan just that breakfast you're
going to learn in this course is how to use a lot of the super
foods and a lot of the foods that most
people are not eating enough of the project for this class is to
make the recipes, along with me, will prepare them overnight
and they just take a few minutes in the
morning to get ready to take pictures of your
breakfast as you make them, and then upload them into
the project gallery. See what you create, how you play them if
you'd like to do a bonus, make your own breakfast from those techniques and ingredients that I introduced you to. I can't wait to
see what you make.
2. Day 1 - Steel Cut Oats with Blueberries: Good evening. We're doing overnight. Oats. Hope you're having
a great evening. I hope you had a great day. Now. We're going to get prepped
up for tomorrow's breakfast. So you can wake up and be like, I have nothing to plan, nothing to do except
heating up some oats. So the beautiful thing about these steel cutouts is
that they have more fiber. They got more nutrients than
regular oats, rolled oats. But they take a full
30 minutes to prepare. So most people don't have those 30 minutes
to prepare breakfast. And so they don't end
up eating these oats. But if you do a little planning, which is why you're
here to learn that you can just in a few
minutes the night before, we're going to soak them. And then in the morning
it's only going to take a minute or two to heat up. And we'll have a beautiful
breakfast of oats. So I'm going to
heat up my water, one cup of water into the pot. So this is going to
be for one person. We're going to bring this water
to a boil That's one cup. And then we're going to
do forth a cup of oats. Now that doesn't
seem like a lot, but these really expand. And so if you want to
make this for two people, then you're going
to do two cups of water and you're going to
do a half a cup of oats. But this is gonna be
very filling breakfast. It's going to keep you
going for a long time. There's just so many great
properties with whole grains, especially when
they're not processed. And so these are whole grains. We have a lot of B vitamins, which a lot of people
don't get enough of, and also people
get enough fiber. So you are one of the People who is gonna get
enough B vitamins and enough fiber in your diet, in your diet Starting from the morning to
bring this to a boil. And then we're going
to add our oats. And then we're going to
bring it back to a boil, then turn it off for the night. Okay. You have to wait at least six hours if you don't
do it overnight. So just it's easier just
to do it overnight. You can leave the pot out, doesn't have to be refrigerated
or anything like that. We're up to the boil. I'm going to scoop a quarter
cup of my oats in there. We are going to bring
it back to the boil. It's back to the boil. Let's put the lid
on, turn it off. And that wasn't so hard, was it? Now we're just going
to let this sit for the night and then we'll come back in the morning
and finish it up. Do it strong with some fruit and beautiful
things in there. Okay, Have a wonderful night. Good night, and see
you in the morning. Here we are in the
morning or after six hours of soaking the oats. You can see here
what we got that. Okay, So it's absorbed some of the water and they
bloomed a little bit. So the oats are
kinda opening up, kinda like rice or
something like that. And now we're just
going to heat it up a couple of minutes. And we're going to top it
with our favorite toppings. And we will be on breakfast, having a great day. Energized. Okay, so let's heat it up. Start with a high heat to
cook it a couple of minutes. And then we're just
going to have our, we have flaxseed,
we have cinnamon. So I'm actually going to add
half a teaspoon of cinnamon. Use a little less if you don't
care for cinnamon so much. She do a quarter teaspoon there. Okay. Right. Okay, so well,
that is cooking. I'll also add a
teaspoon of blacks. Okay? This is just added
fiber and omega-3. So especially if
you're not using any yogurt or animal products, having that extra nutrients from the five seat is important. Okay, So you can see here, once we're starting to boil, just makes it so it
doesn't stick so much. Start to smell the
warmth of the cinnamon, and it starts to get creamy. Okay. So again, we are saving 30
minutes of cooking because we. Them overnight. It's a great trick
to have you just Stearns Center as you need. And if you're going to be
using frozen blueberries, I would add them
right about now. So after two minutes of cooking, just to defrost them, but I fortunately
have fresh one. But it'll turn the
whole thing blue if they're frozen,
which is fine. Okay, so now you can see
now it's very creamy. And I'm actually
going to stop it. Okay? Okay. Because I don't
want to evaporate too much of the liquid. We got a nice big bowl here. This is for one person. Very hardy. It's going to thicken up as it sits because you have to wait for it to
cool a little bit. So we get that into the bowl. And then we're going to have, I'm going to add half
of bananas slice. Okay, this is gonna be a
very filling breakfast. I won't be hungry for hours. Okay, we got one banana. I'm just going to slice it up. And this is going
to be added fiber. It's going to be a
natural sweetness. So we don't have to
add too much sugar. Added sugar. Always want to find ways to add natural sweetness because
when you add the whole fruit, you're actually
getting the fiber. Doesn't spike your
blood sugar as much as just using even
a maple syrup. Okay, so I have my banana, I'm going to just kinda
shimmy that into my oatmeal. Just around the edges
however you like, however much time you have. Four and then two to
three tablespoons of our blueberries. I personally am going to add a little bit spoonful of yogurt. Okay, let me get my spoon. So this is going to add protein, but you can just not add it if you're not as hungry today. Or you could do a nut
butter, almond butter, or peanut butter if you
don't want to do any dairy. But I have a nice
thick yogurt here. Just mixing up. And this is actually
an unsweetened put a dollop in there, add some creamy as to okay, So I got my yogurt. And then, you know me, I always like my textures. Maybe you've seen that
now through the videos. I always like the
contrast of the texture. So we're going to
add a few nuts. Any kind of nuts you like. I'm going to do for cons, you can get walnuts
would be really nice. Sliced almonds. It just adds a crunch. We don't need much because we already have a
pretty filling goal here. And lastly, but not least, we do need a little
sweetener. Actually. You don't need it, but I
like it because you have the sweetness of the
banana and the blueberry. But I dislike a little bit
of that hit of maple syrup. So about a teaspoon. Try to be, try not to
go over with that. One. Can add a little sentiment. It adds sweetness,
like the cinnamon is a natural sweetness enhancer. So why not just do a
little dust of cinnamon? Let me give you a peak
from the bird's eye view. That's our steel cut
blueberry banana. You don't have to add banana. But we did a blueberry banana steel cutouts, overnight oats. So you don't have to stand
here waiting 30 minutes to get the delicious fiber
rich steel cut oats. Now you got it in just
a couple of minutes. So I hope you enjoy this one. I hope you have a wonderful day. I hope something very wonderful
happens to you today. Okay. So have a wonderful
rest of your day.
3. Day 2 - Vanilla Chia Pudding: Good morning. We are making the analogy
of putting today. This is a simple one. We're gonna do it right now and you're going
to have it overnight. You wake up in the morning. You have a beautiful
protein packed, nutritious, new truss. Nutrient dense will say
vanilla Chia pudding. I'll work on that word later. So what we need are
a few ingredients. We need r, o, or soy milk, whatever
you like, non-dairy. We need our Chia seeds. Of course. We need a little cinnamon
and vanilla for flavor. And we need our survey. Or you could use
honey, maple syrup. But I do a Gabi for this, it just dissolves easier. Then we have a little container. You could do this in a bowl. But why not a container
so that you can just it already close it up, put it in the fridge, and just spoon it for
breakfast tomorrow. So let's start with our milk. Okay, we need one cup of
our amusing oat milk. It's become my new favorite. But you can use any non-dairy
milk that you like. This is gonna be fully
vegan gluten-free recipes. So it's a wonderful way. And since milk, Regular milk has protein and we're not having the full protein
from a regular milk. Chia seeds will give us
that protein instead, and these things are
packed with nutrients. Chia means strength in the
dialect that they come from. Okay, so measure out your Chia seeds first and your tablespoon. Don't do the Yugoslavia
because then you have to wash it and just trust me, do the Chia seeds first. So we're gonna do three
tablespoons of chia, okay? And this is going to be
for one to two people, three tablespoons
of cheese a lot. So it's gonna be a lot of
protein and a lot of fiber. It's for probably two people. Okay, So we have three
tablespoons of chia. Let's do our quarter
teaspoon of cinnamon. Okay? So it's not gonna be a very
pronounced cinnamon tastes, but it just gives a little warm. So can always add a little more. I like to add a
little more tomorrow. If you really love cinnamon. Just a grid combo there,
cinnamon and vanilla. They always go together pairs. Very well. Vanilla is going to
be half a teaspoon. So you notice I always measure the dry
first and my teaspoons. And then the wet. It just saves a lot of cleaning up and drying
and everything. You just learned these
things as you go. And now I will do the survey into my tablespoon
instead of the reverse, a GAVI first, then chia
just makes a mess. So one tablespoon a GAVI. If you are using
honey or maple syrup, you might another
teaspoon or so, but that's up to you. Just taste it first. You can always add sweetener. You always want to
go on the lower end. Can always do a drizzle
tomorrow if it needs more, but just try it. And also we're using
unsweetened milk. So if you did get
sweetened milk, just don't even add
the sweetener, okay? Okay, so I'm mixing this up. And nothing crazy
is happening yet. These are going to be
tough to wash off. It look weird. I always watched his right
away because they just gel up on the spoon and they become
really hard to get off. So you have to wait at least
two hours or overnight. And this will start to form a gel leanness and
there'll be pudding. So right now with just liquidy, with a lot of seeds everywhere, but after a couple hours, it will become a nice
texture, pudding texture. And we'll put some fruit on it, maybe some nuts for
a little crunch. There you go. That's your breakfast. We'll mix it up a little bit
too because the gel settles. I'll show you that
in the morning. Let's see how our Chia
pudding came out overnight. You can see it's solidified
on the bottom here. So you just want to
take a I like to use a fork just to break it up
because it gets really thick. They're just mix that up to
break it up a little bit. See, you want an even
distribution of, of Chia seeds like that. Okay? So you can either
just take this for the go and put some food on it. This is for like
one or two people. So I'm actually going to leave some for tomorrow
or for a friend. And then it'll
serve up half of it into a little
container here. Bull. Okay. So you have your Chia pudding. We'll put a few berries
on top, get our fruit. About a half cup. Do feel like that. Blueberries, raspberries, whatever kind of berries
or dried fruit you have. And then just for love, some crunch because we want, we have the soft pudding. I always like to
do a little crunch of nuts or some things. So I have some granola. And there we go. Look at that Chia pudding with a little vanilla Hinton
there, some crunchy granola. Beautiful breakfast, protein
packed and nutritious. Have a wonderful day.
4. Day 3 - Muesli with Dried Fruits: I hope you had a wonderful
day or winding down, we're going to make a
beautiful little breakfast so you can wake up feeling energized and inspired and just look forward to something
in the morning, right? So this is one of my favorites. I just loved the mix. It's mostly with dried fruits. So it's gonna be a
mixture of chia, maybe you, chia now full
of protein and oats. And then we're going to
put some dried fruits for natural sweetness and more
fiber and just a nice texture. So this is gonna be called the Mussolini with dried fruits. It's going to come together very easily like all these
overnight recipes. Really good to have when
you are short on time, when you have a busy
week coming up, then you can make these
sometimes three days in advance and there'll be
just as good to eat. So I'm going to
start with a bowl. You can also do
it in just a jar, but this one is a little small, so I'm going to put it in a bowl first import into those later. We're going to start with
half a cup of rolled oats. So not the steel cut, but the whole rolled oats. And then we're gonna go with
a 30 cup of dried fruits. So I'm going to
actually mix it up. You can just go simply all
raisin or all cranberry. I just feel like
mixing it up a bit. So I have a third cup. Some reasons to start. This is the third measurements. So I'm going to just fill
this measurement off with whatever I will
do, a few cranberries. Okay. These are actually sweetens, so I'm going to take
that into account when I add my sweetener and
then a few apricot. Okay, So for the apricots, want to dice them up. So first I just measure them. Now I got to 30 cup there. 12% fiber. It's really good. So I want a dice
up those apricots. I got three here. I think it'll be a nice combo of our cranberry and apricot and
raisin, but it's up to you. You could do cherries, you could do dried blueberries. You could even try freeze
dried fruits if you have that. Just makes something you like sometimes more
simple is better. So don't go too crazy. Okay. So we got those chopped
up, just like that. We will mix up these
dry ingredients and we're going to do
a little cinnamon. Okay, So a quarter
teaspoon of cinnamon. I just like to mix up the dry first so we can get
a nice even mixing. Even flavoring. Ok, quarter teaspoon
of cinnamon. And then we're going to do
two tablespoons of TEA. Okay, so we're not making the
same as the Chia pudding. It's not gonna be
quite as putting eat, but it's going to have that thicker thickness
from the chia. So imagine we're adding Chia, oatmeal and both of
those things are really incredible soluble
fiber for your body. So it just kinda helps
you remove any of that, the bad cholesterol and stuff. And so you're doing
the best thing for your body right now. Okay. So what do we got here? We got our Chia seeds, just mix this all up. How beautiful that is. Always like how the apricot
have a nice color there. Okay, Then our
sweetener and our milk. So let's go ahead with the milk. This is non-dairy. I like to use oat
milk unsweetened, but use your favorite
non-dairy unsweetened. Pour that right in there. Then sweeteners up to you. You might want to just
leave this out completely. I like a little
sweetener and I'm going to go for date syrup today. You could definitely
use maple syrup is my go-to or honey or Gabi. But this one is a
local product from LA. And I really like it. I like that it's this dark. Color from dates. It comes from dates. And it's twenty-five percent
less sugar than most other, like maple syrup and stuff. So it's gonna be a
little less sweet. But it has other properties that the maple syrup doesn't because it
comes from the dates. So it's gonna be a little
more like molasses. See, I would say
that a final mix up. It's beautiful. It's going to be
incredible breakfast. And then let's see. You can either divide this
up into two small ones here. Yeah, I just think
doing it in a bowl, it's easier to mix it up. But if you're pressed for time, just put it all in the
container just like that. Okay. Spillage there
but no worries. Okay, so what's going
to happen overnight is that these Chia seeds
are going to bloom. They're going to absorb the milk and they're
going to plump up. But if you eat it right now, your body's not going to
really digest the Chia seeds. So that's something to know. A lot of people put Chia seeds. They just sprinkle it right
on top of toast and stuff. But recently learned that
you can't really digest the Chia seeds if they're
not bloomed in a liquid. So this is going to make them
the most digestible and get all those good properties into your body from
the Chia seeds. Instead of just eating
the raw thing and then it never actually
stays in your body, goes right out and you don't
get any of the nutrition. Okay? So we will just
clean this up, lid on it. This one's gonna go into the fridge overnight,
look at it now. Very liquidy. It's going to change up into a nice texture and you can eat it cold
or warm the next day. So this is our Mussolini
with dry fruits. Take a look now. And then we'll do
the, the time-lapse. Good morning. Today we have the Mussolini had dried fruits that we
prepared overnight. Let's take a look at
what happened overnight. We have a solid Mussolini with some oats and
Chia in there. This is full of whole
grain and protein. This is a bit much for me. I'm going to split
it up into two. So leave some for my friend. And or for the next day. This will keep for
about three days. But it's best the
next day or two. And I dislike to you could
definitely take it on the go. See you later here into your
little office or whatever. But it's up to you if
you wanna do a bowl. And it's up to you
how hungry you are. You could finish
this whole thing. It's going to keep
you going for hours. And you can just serve it like that with a little
dusting of cinnamon. Okay. Little dusting of
sediment in there. Because we put a little bit. Or you could just
bring some color and life to it just
with a few berries. If you want. P1, a few nuts for crunch. But I think it's just great like this because you got
your dried apricot. So remember cranberries,
raisins in there. And we have our oaths and chia, full packed whole
grain protein bowl. Hope you enjoy this. I hope something really
wonderful happens to you today. Okay, take care.
5. Day 4 - Banana Berry Parfait: Good evening. We're
going to make our blueberry sauce for
our blueberry parfait. It's going to be excellent. We're using natural sugars in the blueberry To sweeten
or yogurt parfait. So let's get started. It's gonna be a quick one. And then we'll wake up and we'll assemble our parfait in 123. Ok, so we have 1.5
cups of blueberries. I've already washed them. You can definitely use
frozen in this case, or any other kind
of bear you like raspberry, blackberry,
or mixture. Go ahead. I'm just going to pour my
1.5 cups of blueberries. Also a great way if some blueberries got a
little old in the fridge. This is a great way to use them without throwing them out. Just throw any mouldy ones. But if they're little
shriveled, That's alright. You can use though, this
is a great chef's trick. You can see some of these are shriveled and these
are great to use. So we're just going to
put it on a high heat. And I'll add a tablespoon of water because I
already lost them. There's a little water on there, but the water just
gets it started up. What we're looking for is just to break up the blueberries. So it shouldn't take much time at all, maybe five minutes. Okay. And we're not going to add
any sweetener to this. We're just going to
let the blueberries do their natural sugar work. They're pretty
sweet on their own. They're antioxidant Ray
anything this color. Purple, blue, indigo is
usually super healthy for you. So, you know, purple yam or B. These purple foods are just
packed with nutrients. So anytime you can
eat those foods, take advantage of it. And just remember to eat the rainbow as much as
you can, all the colors. You can get the most diverse
nutrients in your diet. Okay, so you can see
after a minute or two, there's some bubbling going on. They're breaking down
there, kinda bursting. So they just kind of
expand and bursts. And it's creates its own sauce. So I'm lowering it to a medium. Once they start to birth. You don't really want
to walk away because the sugars can easily burn. You just want to stir it. And we're going for
broken down blueberry but still not fully broken down. I'm going to, you know, you want a little texture
when you bite into the bury, some of them are going to
be broken down somewhere. They get them still
pops in your mouth. Okay, So this is
looking really good. I'm going to turn this off now. So at this stage, you can see like how saucy
that is, that's what you want. We want to get some sauce going. But we still want them
mostly hole because, you know, just for
texture and the look. And we just wanted to cook them briefly to make a
sauce so that we can drizzle it and make our parfait with the
yogurt and granola. It's going to be delicious. This is kinda like a
patriotic parfait, red, white, and
blue kind of thing. So now we're gonna do is we're going to just
put this in a container. You can let that
cool a little bit. Make sure you're using a heat proof container if
you are putting it in. But you can just let it cool. We'll just put that
right in there. And we'll wait a couple minutes. 1015 minutes for this to cool down before we put
it in the fridge. And then we're going to put
this in the fridge overnight. It's gonna be nice and chilled. And also those natural
blueberries are known to be a natural jammy fruit. They have pectin. What you call pectin. Pectin is what makes
jams and jellies. That consistency that you want. So that natural, it's
gonna kinda jealous. And it's going to make a
luscious sauce for our parfait. So just go ahead
and let this cool. We will reconvene in the
morning for a new day, and we'll make a beautiful,
tasty, indulgent parfait. But it's gonna be healthy. Good morning Today,
we're going to make that banana very parfait. Remember we have our
beautiful blueberry sauce. No sugar added. It's kinda solidified a little bit because the
blueberries and they're gonna be some pops of
flavor in the mouth. So whatever you'd
like to put it in, you can do a bowl. You could do a jar just because I like to see the layers there. But bulwark to, if you
have a little more time, you can do like a double layer, which I'm going to show you. But if you're really
pressed for time, just do 1233 layers
and that's it. But I'll show you the six
layer if you have time. Okay, so what we're
going to need is some beautiful yogurt. Okay, we're going to need
our blueberry sauce. We need some granola and banana. Okay, I'm gonna do a half
version here to show you. But you can use a whole
banana for two of them. So we're gonna start with
two little scoops of yogurt. Okay, so just try
to get it in the, in the bottom without
touching the sides. If you have time. It's just going to
make it look prettier. And use a different
spoon for you. You don't contaminate because you might not use all
the blueberry sauce. This is gonna be our
natural sweetener. Just two spoons. About heaping
teaspoon, I would say, spread that out already. Looks gorgeous. Look at that. Okay, And then we're
gonna do some granola. About two scoops of that. But I'm just gonna kinda
do to sprinkles there. Okay. Some granola and then we'll
top it off with some banana. Okay, so just a few slices. A banana. Okay, So this is again the natural sweetness of
our berries and the banana. So we don't have to really add any sweetener or
yogurt is unsweetened. Just try that. If you tried to get the effect, they're just tried to do that. So put like a quarter
of the banana there. And then we're just
going to repeat, okay, So washing hands and
just little rinse. And then we'll go again
with our yogurt in the top. Okay. Just try to spread it
evenly as you can. You can make this, if you made the the blueberry
sauce ahead of time, you could make this
one overnight. Okay. And then just have it
ready in the morning. So that's an option. We just do the blueberry
sauce the night before so it can cool down. But if you let it cool
for half an hour, so you can definitely do
this the night before, okay, or beautiful theory sauce. A little more granola. And this is gonna
be nuts in there, so it's a healthy fat. It's going to keep
us full longer. And then we'll go
with more banana. I'm very excited to see this is the way to eat natural sugars. Not really adding any sugars. So we get all the fiber. When you eat the whole
fruit, you're getting fiber. And it doesn't spike your
blood sugar as much. You get the whole
nutrient of the banana, not just the sugar
into the system. Okay, So press
that down a little bit and then just top it off. If you have them a
few fresh berries, raspberries, any kind
of bear you got there. And just because
I'm a chef and I can make it look pretty if you're serving this
up to yourself. But even anybody, you just wipe with a
little damp paper towel. That's how we always do
it in the restaurant. Nobody knows that
it was ever dirty. Okay. So there you go. Okay. Some parts are a little
prettier than others. You could definitely use a
smaller cup that would work. This is gonna be really
filling and just a dash of our cinnamon if
you like it. Okay. There you go. That's your banana. Very parfait. You can make two out of this
with good those layers. Some yogurt granola for crunch, berry sauce for sweetness. A little bananas in there. Who doesn't like
blueberry banana? Okay, So this is one idea you can make it
how you want to do it. I'd love to see your picture. Don't don't forget to tag me. Chef Joanna's. Hope you enjoy this one. It's cute. Okay. Have a wonderful day now.
6. Day 5 - Spiced Cranberry Orange Oatmeal: All right, Good evening. We're going to make the spice,
cranberry, orange oatmeal. You're going to love this one. It's going to be warming. It's a little different than just an ordinary oatmeal
that you've probably made. So I think you're
going to love it. And we do need a few
more ingredients, but it's going to pay off, is going to be more complex
in our ****** and flavors. So first we're going to start, I'm just going to do this
all in a jar actually. So we can just not
clean up too much. So half a cup of rolled oats. And then we're going to add our ****** to that
and mix it up first. Even distribution. We'll start with half a
teaspoon of cinnamon. Okay? Right, so we need for
our spice, cranberry, we need the ******, half
teaspoons, cinnamon. And this can be probably
for one person. It is a lot of food, but it's up to you. One to two people. Okay, And then we're
gonna do our nutmeg. This one, don't
overdo your nutmeg. Measure it out because
it's a strong spice. Smell your ******. It's just be present. It's amazing. Okay, in a teaspoon of nutmeg. Okay, now we're gonna go on
to ginger and a teaspoon. This is another
pretty strong one. Smell it. It's a
strong one like that. Okay, And then we're
gonna do a pinch of salt. Just a little savory action. You don't have to add
it if you don't like, I just think you're not gonna, not gonna taste salty. It'll just bring out the ******. Then we're going to mix
this up a little bit. Let's add our cranberries, two tablespoons of
dried cranberries. I measure out. These are sweetened. You probably have
sweetened as well. So we're just gonna
be mindful of any added sugar that
we're going to add. Because this is already going to sweeten it
up a little bit. Okay, Then what else
do we have here? Let's do our orange zest. This. Yes, it's going
to be an extra step, but it's worth it. All. Remember to get an organic orange when
you're using zest or peel, because a lot of Appeal has any of the
pesticides or anything. If you can't, please
wash it under really warm water to try
to remove any of that. And we're just gonna
do about a quarter, quarter to half of this
orange with a micro plane. These are what they called. You probably have a greater, you could use that
as well carefully. And we're just doing one
to, to kinda shreds. You don't want to go
down to the White. See, this is all we're
going to really do. If you go any anymore, you're actually going
to get a bitter taste. I'll show you here,
but I won't add it. People go really crazy
and they're like, Oh, yeah, I'm going
to shred it up. But you end up going. It's hard to get this fact. If you keep going there, you're just going
to get white and that's gonna be the bidder pit. You just want the essence. And you know, why aren't we
using orange juice instead? Because the Peel has
the essential oils. You smell that now
that's a morning smell. That's going to wake
you up in the morning. Look at that beautiful
thing already. We have the orange peel, the ******, and the cranberry. Hope you're smelling it up. Okay, Now we're going
to add our half a cup of oat milk or almond milk. Whatever you like. This is going to get soaked. We could add more in the morning if it
gets a little thick, but this will absorb it all up. I'm also going to do
a little vanilla. Okay, if you have it, use it. Gonna be Orange Vanilla, ******. Beautiful. Okay, so half a
teaspoon in there. And then we got everything in
there except our sweetener. So this one, you might want
to wait to add the sweetener. I'm going to add about
a half a tablespoon. This is a date syrup, so it's a little less
sweet than maple syrup. But if you're using Maple, you could start with
the half tablespoon. Just mix that up. We're going to let this
do the overnight work, but you just want
to kinda mix it until everything is
distributed evenly, okay? Right. Okay. That's a wrap. If you want to, definitely you can double it to give to your partner
or your friend. But this will be
good for one person. And then we'll just tap it with some almonds or
other nuts tomorrow. And we're going to have a
beautiful cranberry spiced orange to wake you up with that orange sent
into the morning. It's gonna be great. So you're doing the right thing. You have something
to look forward to in the morning tomorrow now. Can't wait for you to try this. Good morning there. So let's check on our spice, cranberry, orange
oatmeal for breakfast. Let's see what's happened here. Has it absorbed every
liquid in there? Okay, Let's mix it up and see. Okay, so this is
smelling just beautiful. I hope you're really
enjoying that smell. It's kinda like a cranberry orange brand that
you really love. Very exciting. So you can eat it
just added here, ready to go to your
work, to your job? Or I like to eat it
from a bowl. Sometimes. It just seems a little
more luxurious. Like I'm at a hotel. I'm just waking up
and my robe and, you know, getting a
nice healthy breakfast from a really nice spa hotel. So that's why. Then I've just toasted up some, toasted, some raw
almonds, sliced almonds. Hey, you can use any nut
that you like, pecans, walnuts, I think, almond, cranberry, orange go
really well together. So that's what I'm going to top, always doing it for the crunch. That extra healthy
fat is going to be just keeping us
for a little longer. Toasted these in the
toaster oven just a couple, maybe a minute. Do not walk away from the next. Made this mistake many times
they burned super easy because they have such
a high oil content. So just taught that there. You're gonna love this one. Now you can add a splash more of your oat milk if you want. But I think it's just
perfect like that. And you got your cranberry, orange oatmeal for your spotty
you've made for yourself. Hope you enjoy this one. I hope you have a wonderful day and just go out
there and win it.
7. Day 6 - Fudgy Banana & Peanut Butter Oatmeal: All right. Good afternoon or good evening. Hope you had or still
having a wonderful day. We are going to prep our fudge, chocolate and peanut
butter oatmeal. I love this one. It's feels really indulgent. But we are using really
good ingredients, wholesome ingredients,
so that we stay full. And it's not just kinda
like candy bar breakfast, like our cereals, because
we are using cocoa powder, not a chocolate, we're
using peanut butter. So let's get started quickly because I know
you got things to do. Your evening. Whatever you need
to do to unwind. So let's start
with half a cup of our oat milk or soy or
almonds unsweetened. Okay, then we're gonna go with a tablespoon of cocoa powder. So try to get a really
nice quality cocoa powder. I like to use this one here, but just since it's
such a superfood cocoa, I'm trying to get
a really nice one. Okay. So then you just, you know, doesn't
always come out. Okay. Okay. So a tablespoon of our
cocoa powder, superfood. And now they always say
superfood for everything, but really, cocoa
is really good. Okay, Then we're gonna
do our sweetener. So I'm going to start
with just a teaspoon of our maple syrup or honey,
whatever you like. We'll just go with one teaspoon. You could do another teaspoon, but let's wait till the morning. Just try to lower the sugar
content on every weekend. Okay, Then what
about our banana? Banana is gonna be our
natural sweeteners. So we're going to
need a half a banana. And let me just stir
this up a little bit. It's kinda like you
can warm this up, then it'd be a nice cocoa, actually, all natural
dairy free cocoa. You have sweetener,
You got milk. Okay, so let me just kinda
break up the banana. This is gonna be our
natural sweetener. If you don't like bananas so much or you don't
want to put it in here. You don't have to. Just, this is gonna be banana
has so many properties. Fiber, natural
sweetener, potassium. It's just going to
keep you full longer. Any kinda blends well with the peanut butter
and the chocolates. So just give it a try. Smash it up the best you can. I don't mind a few little
chunks in there for texture. And then we're going
to do three-fourths a tablespoon of our flax seed. Again, going in with
those omega 3s, which are so healthy
for the brain. Actually I just read. It helps to combat
any depression. If you have a good source
of omega-3, mix that up. Now, little vanilla,
we have the chocolate. It always goes so well
with some vanilla extract. So half a teaspoon of our
beautiful vanilla extract or vanilla paste if you have it. That works too. Then our beautiful
peanut butter, I hope you're able to find a natural no added
stuff peanut butter. That's the healthiest. So we're just going to
get a spoon of this. Okay, if you work out in
the morning or you need that extra boost,
use two tablespoons. I'm going to just
do the one. Wow. Like kinda
one-and-a-half percent. I would say. I don't know how hungry
I'll be tomorrow, but I can always save it for
later, like a nice snack. So much good protein
in this peanut butter. Nothing added. Healthy fats. Going to keep you
full really long. Okay, little peanut butter now, don't mix it up too much
because he liked to see the kind of chunks
of peanut butter. And now we're gonna do our oats. So half a cup of rolled oats. Try to get it into the
container to clean up now. Okay, So now just kinda
submerge them into the liquid. Will probably add a splash
of liquid tomorrow. So if it seems like it's not enough liquid,
Don't worry about it. We're going to add a splash
tomorrow to bring it to life. Then option if you'd like. So not going to
mix it up because look at how beautiful this is. You can see the peanut
butter in there. So when you get there
you're excited. So I don't want
to mix, mix, mix. I just kinda want it to be like kinda layered
effect a little bit. Okay, so that's everything. Now you can add a pinch of salt. But I think we're okay. I might add a little
pinch of salt tomorrow, like a nice salt and then cinnamon Maybe
tomorrow as well. So that is good to go. This is your peanut butter
and chocolate oatmeal. Let's set it overnight
to do its work. Really excited for
that tomorrow. I hope you have a great night. I'll see you in the morning,
alright, overnight. So we have our chocolate
peanut butter. Look how good that looks. Some feet and butter in there. It's absorbed the milk. Now, you can either
eat it out of here or do your little
spot treatment. And where you serve yourself a bowl of this beautiful little. Remember we got bananas in there to kinda like our chunky monkey. Oh, this looks great. It actually looks like a lot. I'm going to start with that. So you got little bowl there. Now you can add more
sweetener if you want. Just try it first before
a little toasted almonds, but any kind of nuts you have, just for that little crunch. And then a little sea salt. This is a really nice sea salt. But if you have like a
large flaked sea salt, this is the time to use just
very little kind of getting that salted caramel
kind of action there. And just, I'll show you if you want a little drizzle
of maple syrup. You can do that after
you tasted, of course. But I'll just give you the
full how I like it there. Look at that chocolate, banana, peanut butter, fudge, brownie
kind of thing going on. We got the banana, we got beautiful antioxidants
in the cocoa powder. And I think you're really
going to love this one. So please enjoy and
have a wonderful day.
