Spiced OIAJ

So my mornings have been pretty busy lately and breakfast is by far the most important meal of the day. I need something nutritious that will take up little of my time in the morning, and I found Oats in a Jar!  I've seen a few of these recipes on the web, but this is my version; I use my fitness pal for all my recipes to track the nutritional content.

Nutritional Facts

Recipe yields 2 servings

Ingredients:

1 cup Rolled Oats

1 tsp Coconut Spread (or Smart Balance)

1/2 cup Cottage Cheese

12 oz Ball Jar

1tsp Pumpkin Spice

1 tbsp Ground Flax Seed

1 scoop Protein Powder( I use Sun Warrior)

1/4 Cup Organic Raisins

1/2 Cup Mashed Pumpkin

1 tbsp Agave Nectar

1 Cup Almond Milk

1/4 cup Flax Milk

2 empty Jars of your choice

Directions:

Warm up small saucer with butter alternative on stove. Add Oats and Almond Milk and bring to a simmer. Increase your heat and add the protein powder to the mixture. Stir until thick like a paste. Set aside.

Pull out your Jars and start to layer your ingredients. Oats, cottage Cheese, pumpkin, raisins, flax seed meal, agave and spice.  If you like the sweeter side of things add a little extra agave. Then add another Layer of ingredients in that order. When you are all done splash equal parts of your extra milk in the jars so that the oats can soak overnight.

Place jars in the fridge, covered overnight. Pull out next morning and Enjoy! You can pop it in the microwave for a minute to bring it to room temperature.

I added some Fiber one Cereal to the top for extra Crunch. this keeps me Full for a minimum of 3.5 hours. Yum!
