Easy low-effort meal, overnight oats edition:
Making this recipe requires very little physical energy and very few decisions to be made, so I’ve been able to make it even on bad symptom days and/or in depressive episodes. Oats have a lot of health benefits that especially apply to fibromyalgia issues, including: regulating blood sugar levels, improving gut health and digestion, improving energy levels, providing plenty of fiber and nutrients, and they’re not inflammatory & gluten free. Same goes for the add-ins tbh, which also have a good amount of omegas and protein. You can personalize it based on what sounds good to you or what you have.
Tools:
Big container with lid (I use my 7 cup pyrex)
Spatula for mixing
1/2 cup measuring cup
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups quick oats (I use Robin Hood minute oats)
1/4 cup ground flax
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup hemp hearts
Pinch salt
Sprinkle of cinnamon to taste (optional, but supposedly anti-inflammatory)
1 cup greek yogurt (I like vanilla extra creamy, but mix it up sometimes. I always get extra creamy though bc I like the thickness, and it has the most protein.)
1 cup oat milk (or whatever milk situation you have.)
1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey, and can use more to taste.)
Method:
Put all the dry ingredients into your container. I just eyeball the 1/4 cup by using half of the 1/2 cup so I only dirty one thing.
Give it a stir with the spatula until it looks evenly mixed.
Use the spatula to scoop yourself a cup of yogurt (again, I use two of the same 1/2 and the same spatula.)
Add in the oat milk.
Add in the maple syrup.
Stir it all up until it’s evenly incorporated. It’ll be thick, more like a pudding. And that’s it lol put it in the fridge.
To serve:
Wait at least four hours, but this will keep like a week if you don’t finish it before that.
It’ll be even thicker after sitting with those chia seeds. I think of it almost like an oatmeal concentrate lol - I scoop out however much I want into a little bowl, add in more oat milk, and mush it out to create a more classic oatmeal consistency. This stretches it out so you don’t have to make it as often.
If you want, you can also add extra maple syrup/honey to your individual portion, and/or a little sprinkle of cinnamon.
Again feel free to customize if you want to add anything in like nuts, dry fruit, flavors, etc but also it’s great like this if you don’t wanna think about it!
Any day you manage to feed yourself is a good day, and you’re doing a great job! <3
