Shaken Espresso Oats (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main mix

01 - Pinch of salt (it’ll highlight the flavors)
02 - 2 tablespoons dark or light brown sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
04 - 1 cup regular rolled oats (avoid instant oats)

→ Liquid blend

05 - 1 cup plain, unsweetened almond milk (or any milk you like)
06 - ¼ cup cooled espresso or cold brew concentrate

# Instructions:

01 - In a container with a lid, toss in the oats, chia seeds, brown sugar, and salt. Stir everything up nicely until it’s all combined.
02 - Add the almond milk and coffee to the dry mixture. Mix really well so everything’s evenly coated and no dry bits are left.
03 - Seal the container with the lid and pop it in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight. Letting it sit longer makes the oats softer and tastier.
04 - When you're ready, stir the oats again. If they’re thicker than you want, splash in some more almond milk till you like the texture. Eat them straight from the fridge and enjoy!

# Notes:

01 - They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for about 3 days, so it’s an awesome meal prep option.
02 - Top it off with cinnamon, maple syrup, or banana slices for some extra flavor before diving in.
03 - Need more protein? Stir in a scoop of protein powder or your favorite nut butter.
