Overnight Oats with Strawberry Compote

Snacks on the go, that’s kind of my favourite thing these days. With my schedule being so super hectic, trying to juggle my time between friends & family, blogging, work and reading - food-on-the-go seems to be the smartest choice every single time. And you know what’s more amazing than having a food-on-the-go? Those that you can make few hours before, better if you can keep them for days in the fridge. Not only are they a  life saver but also, it lets you save a lot of time.

I don’t like getting hungry when I’m not at home as it is a bit difficult to get food around. I am in a city where veganism isn’t mainstream yet plus people have this distorted view of what healthy really means. Though I don’t consider myself the paragon of ‘healthiness’, I always choose the healthiest available food. But I digress!

My personal favourite is overnight oats. It is so easy to make- no heating or cooking involved. Just a lot of soaking, and the toppings are endless. The best thing about this is that it keeps in the fridge for days.



Overnight Oats with Strawberry Compote


Ingredients


1 cup organic traditional rolled oats
1 cup organic soymylk (or any mylk of your choice like almond, coconut, hazelnut, etc)
2 tbsps organic raw dark agave nectar (can be subsituted with maple syrup)

Strawberry Compote
4 pieces frozen strawberries (or 1/2 cup frozen raspberries)
2 tbsps water
1 tsbp organic raw dark agave nectar

Method

Stir the first three ingredients in a bowl. Transfer to a container, cover and let soak in the fridge overnight.

For the compote, mix all ingredients of the strawberry compote in a pot and simmer in low heat until the water has evaporated and the mixture has caramelised.

Let strawberry compote cool down a little bit. You can either mix the two together or use the compote as a topping. It’s delicious either way.

Serve in a glass jar and top with banana slices, dried fruits, seeds or nuts. Best serve cold.

Will keep in the fridge for 3 days.
