Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Produce
- 1/2 ripe, fresh avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and diced
- 1 small banana, sliced
- 1/2 cup berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries)
- 2 Tbsp. orange juice
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
Liquids
- 1/8 cup unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
- Prepare fruit mixture: In a small bowl, combine the diced avocado, sliced banana, and orange juice. Mix gently to coat the fruit and prevent browning.
- Layer oats and berries: Place half of the rolled oats into a 1-pint mason jar or container. Add a layer of berries on top of the oats, followed by half of the avocado and banana mixture.
- Add remaining oats and cinnamon: Add the remaining oats over the fruit layer, then sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the oats.
- Top with remaining fruit mixture: Spoon the rest of the avocado and banana mixture on top of the oats and cinnamon layer.
- Add almond milk and chill: Pour unsweetened almond milk over the layers, cover the jar, and refrigerate overnight (about 12 hours) to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
Notes
- For added texture and nutrition, stir in flax seeds or chia seeds before refrigerating.
- Top with your favorite nuts like almonds or walnuts just before serving for extra crunch.
