Oats with chia seeds

Serves: 1

Preparation time: 5 minutes, plus resting time

Instant oats are a breakfast staple on a multiday hike. This easy recipe can be prepared the night before so you can have an early start the next day.

You need

• 125 ml instant oats
• 15 ml chia seeds
• 125 ml black rooibos tea, sweetened to taste (or apple juice)
• 50 – 100 g trail mix with dried fruit, nuts and seeds
• 1 naartjie, banana or apple (optional)
• honey, to taste

Here’s how

1 Add the oats and chia seeds to a mug and pour over the tea or juice. Leave to stand overnight using your tin plate as a lid for the mug.

2 The next morning, add trail mix and sliced fruit to the oats and sweeten with honey.

TIP You can mix the dry ingredients for your breakfast
