Tahini Honey Walnut Overnight Oats

This is a very simple oatmeal recipe that follows the same principle as my Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter Oats: soak some oats, leave them overnight, add yummy things to them the next morning. The inspiration for these flavors came from my most recent trip to New York. I was staying with a friend and wasn’t going to get all fussy making smoothies every morning, so I popped over to Whole Foods to find a box of healthy cereal (not so easy let me tell you! I only found one without added sugar in any form) and some rice milk. While looking through her kitchen cupboards for something to spruce up my plain wholegrain cereal, I came upon an inviting pot of creamy tahini. Along with a generous dollop of this I added some chopped banana, crushed walnuts and cinnamon to my cereal and was in heaven.

Here is the flavor combination translated into overnight oats:

On most mornings, however, I automatically go for this smoothie in one variation or the other, as it’s what I crave the most. What I love about this smoothie is that it’s filling – the combination of healthy fats and protein keeps me going for longer than my classic oatmeal used to – yet doesn’t make me feel sluggish as a higher-carb breakfast sometimes would.
