One of my running friends told me about overnight oats and I hadn’t tried them until now. After doing a long-ish run this morning, I came home knowing that I had this nourishing breakfast waiting for me 🙂 Hemp seeds are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids as well as protein. I really like hemp milk because it is a whole food, unlike almond milk and soy milk, which both need to be strained (losing some of the precious nutrients). Making it at home is so easy and cheaper than buying it at the store, not to mention you’ll be avoiding the preservatives in the manufactured cartons. Enjoy!

Hemp Milk:
¼ cup hemp seeds
1 cup water
1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey

Oatmeal:
1/3 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
hemp milk

1. In a powerful blender, blend all ingredients for the milk.
2. Place rolled oats and chia seeds in mason jar or small container.
3. Add hemp milk and mix well. Place in fridge overnight.
