This breakfast recipe is for those of you that don't have much time in the morning. You can make it the day before and the only thing you have to do in the morning is enjoying these delicious oats! It's also a great snack to eat on the go.
I couldn't live without oats, I use it all the time to make oatmeal, smoothies and all kinds of sweet and savory recipes. It's probably one of my favorite ingredients, they're super healthy and so inexpensive. I buy regular rolled oats, but use gluten-free oats if you're gluten intolerant, have celiac disease or just want to avoid gluten.
To make this recipe you just need to blend the milk and the carrot and then mix all the ingredients in a jar, easy peasy! If you feel lazy, use just milk and add some chopped fruit instead of the carrot. I love bananas, berries and mango chunks.
Tips:
- If you don't like carrots, use one or two bananas instead or just milk.
- Feel free to add any fruit, spices, superfoods, sweetener or ingredient you want.
- The overnight oats will have a better texture if you use chia seeds, but they're optional, so just add more oats instead if you don't add them.

This is fantastic. I did steam my carrots first, and I used a ton more than you're supposed to, but it came out good. I also used fresh ginger instead of cinnamon. Getting up at 4 am usually really put a damper on breakfast. This saved me!
Thank you!

I was so hesitant. Just could not imagine "carrots" for breakfast, but I trust all your recipes and so made it and have added it to my 5 star recipe binder.
How great to turn someone else on to a different kind of cold breakfast. Yes, how nice for a summer morning on the patio in a comfy chair with tea. So many friends don't get enough or even like vegetables,and here's their chance to believe they can change that.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart for this recipe. I did adjust the cinnamon to 1/4 tsp. and it was perfect
