Almost raw breakfast for the kids

You may be wondering how the kids are making out with our Adventures in the Raw. I am not being near as strict with them as I am with myself. I am taking it slower and giving them time to adjust and they are doing wonderful with the changes.

One of their favorite breakfast meals is overnight oats. I have started getting the most out of my empty jars of peanut butter and jam by using them to make overnight oats, this allows for the oats to get flavored by the leftovers on the side of the jar that you just cannot get off. My kiddos LOVE this!

Yesterday, they finished a jar of applesauce and I used the jar to make a batch of overnight oats for them. In my recipe, I use old fashioned oats and almond milk. It is a 2/1 ratio or I often even just eyeball it. I need enough milk to completely cover the oats as they will expand overnight. I also add  1 tablespoon of chia seeds per cup of oats. With our Applesauce Oats, I served them in the morning with a dash of cinnamon and some raisins sprinkled on top. It was a HUGE hit!!

 Give it a try in your house, even if you are not trying to make a full change to Raw of Vegan, this is an easy way to have a delicious, nutritious breakfast. And did I mention that since the prep is done the night before, there is no time lost in the morning accept to pour it into a boal and add toppings. It could even been eaten right out of a small jar :)
