chia oatmeal

Notes

  • This recipe works best with a very ripe, even mushy, banana.

  • The nutrient calculations here use high-protein skyr. Greek yogurt has a similar protein content but any yogurt will work. 


Editor’s Note- This recipe is appropriate for a low-calorie, low saturated fat, low cholesterol, high fiber, lacto-vegetarian dietary regimen.
