Ingredients

 For the base

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp of the Almondista base
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp of maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tbsp of your favorite jam (we are using strawberry)

For the topping

  • 1 tbsp of the Almondista base
  • raspberries and blueberries
  • 1 tsp coconut flakes

Steps

Mix the Almondista base with 1 cup of water in a mixer or with an electric drink frother for fresh almond drink. Pour the freshly made drink into a large bowl with the oats, the chia seeds, and the sweetener of your choice (maple syrup or honey) and mix well. In a jar add 1 tbsp of your favorite jam and add the oat mixture. Close the jar and refrigerate overnight.

Give the berries a good wash and let them dry, they'll be all set for your morning meal.

When ready to eat simply add 1 tablespoon of the Almondista paste to the mixture, add your berries, and garnish with coconut flakes.

Feel free to switch up toppings based on what you like: apples, bananas, blueberries, mango, nuts, or anything else you enjoy.
