Ingredients
- 1 cup five grain cereal
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup mixed berries
- 1/4 cup nuts
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 1 cup of five grain cereal, 2 cups of milk, 1/2 cup of yogurt, 1/4 cup of honey, 1/2 cup of mixed berries, and 1/4 cup of nuts.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the five grain cereal and milk. Stir gently to ensure that the cereal is evenly coated with the milk.
- Add the yogurt to the bowl and mix until the yogurt is fully incorporated into the cereal and milk mixture.
- Drizzle the honey over the mixture, and stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly. The honey will add a touch of sweetness to the cereal.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator overnight. This allows the cereal to absorb the liquid and soften, making it ready to eat in the morning.
- In the morning, remove the bowl from the refrigerator and give the mixture a good stir. If the cereal is too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Top the cereal with the mixed berries and nuts. You can use fresh or frozen berries depending on your preference and availability.
- Serve the overnight five grain cereal in individual bowls, and enjoy a nutritious and delicious breakfast!
Tips
- Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Select a premium five-grain cereal mix and use fresh, organic milk and yogurt for the best flavor and nutrition.
- Customize Your Toppings: While mixed berries and nuts are delicious, feel free to experiment with other toppings like chia seeds, coconut flakes, or sliced bananas.
- Consistency Matters: If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more milk in the morning. For a thicker texture, reduce the milk slightly.
- Meal Prep Friendly: This recipe can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it perfect for busy lifestyles.
- Temperature Tip: Let the cereal sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to take the chill off and enhance the flavors.
- Sweetness Control: Adjust the honey to your taste preference, or substitute with maple syrup or agave for a different flavor profile.
