Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Produce
- 1/2 ripe, fresh avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and diced
- 1 small banana, sliced
- 1/2 cup berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries)
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
Liquids
- 2 Tbsp. orange juice
- 1/8 cup unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
- Prepare Avocado Mixture: Combine the diced avocado, sliced banana, and orange juice in a small bowl, gently mashing them together until evenly mixed but still chunky.
- Layer Ingredients in Jar: Place half of the rolled oats into a 1-pint mason jar. Add a layer of berries on top, then spoon half of the avocado mixture over the berries. Add the remaining oats and sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the oats.
- Add Remaining Mixture and Milk: Top the oats with the remaining avocado and banana mixture. Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, ensuring the oats and fruits are mostly submerged.
- Chill Overnight: Cover the jar tightly with a lid and refrigerate overnight for at least 12 hours, allowing the oats to absorb liquid and flavors to meld for a creamy, ready-to-eat breakfast.
Notes
- For extra nutrition and texture, add flax seeds or chia seeds before refrigerating.
- Top with your favorite nuts or seeds just before serving for added crunch.
- This recipe is easily customizable with your choice of berries or plant-based milk.
