Berry Overnight Oats Featuring SunWarrior

I found some beautiful berries in the store and was excited to eat them alone and use them in recipes. The natural sugar in berries is something I enjoy so I enjoy finding creative ways to enjoy the berries I overbuy before they begin to spoil!

I made overnight oats using SunWarrior's Warrior Blend Berry Flavor Warrior Blend . The recipe was great tasting and satisfying. I kept me going through teaching three fitness classes back-to-back-to-back last Saturday morning.



The recipe is simple, what is complicated is the patience it requires to allow the flavors to marry. I like to put the overnight oats together before bed, then finish just before serving in the morning. You can always make just a few hours in advance as a snack for later in the day.

Ingredients (per jar):
1/4 cup SunWarrior Warrior Blend Berry Flavor
1 TBSP Chia Seeds (organic if you can)
3/4 cup oats
1 cup almond milk (or milk of your choice)
3/4 cup berries
Optional:
1/4 cup coconut
drizzle of honey

Instructions:
Layer the following in the jar:
  • 1/4 cup SunWarrior Warrior Blend Berry Flavor
  • 1 TBSP Chia Seeds (organic if you can)
  • 1/4 cup berries (I used a mixture of raspberries and blueberries)
  • 3/4 cup oats
  • 3/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup berries




Seal the jar and refrigerate.

Before serving, stir the contents of the jar and add 1/4 cup of almond milk and 1/4 cup berries. Add optional honey or coconut if you wish.

Rumble Super Shake


Rumble Super Shake is a new product I was introduced to at the Gluten Free and Allergen Friendly Expo in San Diego. My husband fell in love with the product as a post workout recovery drink. He is drawn to the taste of the flaxseed oil used to add the Omega 3s to the jar. 

The product is titled super shake but it is not THICK as some might think. It is sweet, naturally, which I appreciate. I like sweet, but my preference is toward natural sweets rather than artificial. I tried the Vanilla Maple and Dutch Cocoa flavors. To add body to the Dutch Cocoa, I blended it with a ripe banana and created an on-the-go breakfast drink.



This gluten free shake made with natural ingredients should be part of your workout routine. I suggest keeping a few in your refrigerator at all times!

You can look on the company website www.drinkrumble.com to find a store in your area to purchase Rumble Super Shake or to make a purchase online. As of this post, in the San Diego area, it can be found at Pharmaca in La Jolla, Whole Foods in UTC and Hillcrest, and Bristol Farms in UTC.
