Strawberry Muesli

Take advantage of summer's bounty! All these lovely berries... mmm... it's filled with fruitiness and great served warm as an extra option.

• Ready In: 8 hrs 10 mins
• Serves: 1
• Yields: 1 bowl

Ingredients

• 1⁄3 cup old fashioned oats
• 1⁄2-2⁄3 cup  vanilla soymilk
• 1⁄2  med-large ripe banana
• 1⁄2 small apple (I use Granny Smith)
• 1⁄2 cup fresh strawberries
• 1  teaspoon maple syrup (optional) or 1  teaspoon  agave syrup (optional) or 1  teaspoon honey (optional)

Directions

1. The night before, mix the oats and soymilk, cover and refrigerate overnight.(Note-use a mixture of regular and more finely-ground, about 2:1, for the creamiest consistency)
2. In the morning, prepare the fruit: shred the apple; quarter the banana lenghtwise and then slice it. Cut the strawberries in quarters or eighths, depending on their size-I use about 6 large berries; feel free to use more or less to your taste.
3. Stir everything together, drizzle on the sweetener if desired, and enjoy!
4. To serve warm, simply microwave for about 1 minute before adding the strawberries. Then stir 'em in and devour your tasty oatmeal/muesli!
