Berry Good Morning Yogurt Muesli



High in fiber and low in calories, oatmeal is a healthier alternative to processed cereals. Oatmeal has a special kind of fiber known as beta-glucan, which is especially helpful for those dealing with heart disease or diabetes. Beta-glucan is also known to regulate the immune system. The berries add a big dose of vitamin C, antioxidants, and enzymes without adding excessive calories or sugar. The flax seeds add a healthy serving of omega 3 fatty acids and folate.  

1 cup of oats
3/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk
1 cup of unsweetened yogurt (goat, soy or coconut)
1/3 cup of frozen blueberries
4-5 sliced strawberries
1 tbsp. raisins
1 tbsp. freshly ground flax seed
1 tbsp. pure raw honey or pure maple syrup
1 tsp. raw or pure vanilla extract

Put everything in an airtight container and stir together. Leave to set in the fridge overnight. By morning the milk soaks into the oats and leaves them the perfect texture.
*Serves 2
