Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats

Ingredients

• 1/2 fresh medium pear
• 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
• 2/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 scoop whey protein powder (optional)

Preparation:

1. Dice the pear half.
2. Combine all ingredients in a mason jar and stir well. Refrigerate overnight.
   Ready to eat the next day. You can take your breakfast on-the-go. Heating is not necessary. Add sweetener if desired.

Helpful hints:

• Prepare a few jars at a time for quick breakfasts all week.
• If you desire a crunchy texture use fresh pears and add them in the morning. Instead of fresh pears you can substitute a fruit cup of diced pears (drained) or other low potassium fruits such as apple, berries, cherries or peach.
• The soaking of the oats overnight acts as “cooking”. If warm oatmeal is preferred microwave the jar for 1-2 minutes before eating.
