Bottom of the Jar
Back when I had DVR I would always tape the Rachael Ray show, not sure why really because she can annoy me at time, I would usually fast forward to what she was making for dinner and if it didn’t interest me that episode would be immediately deleted. Every once and a while she would feature a Bottom of the Jar recipe which would use that little bit left at the bottom of the container. Well the Bottom of the Almond Butter Jar method ha spread like wildfire through the healthy living blogworld and since I too was nearing the end of my jar, I decided I must try this.
I made these after an 11 mile run a few Saturdays ago. Weird for me to want hot oats on a really hot day but I think I was looking for the satiety and oats always does that for me. I used the Kath method for whipped banana oats and poured it into the jar. Be aware the jar gets HOT! So I quickly moved it to the kitchen table to cool a tad. I paired the oats with a juicy peach and I was set for hours!
I then decided to use up the last of my greek yogurt by making some muesli! I love making this as it can be done the night before and makes eating on the go very easy! I combined about 1/2 cup of oats in with the rest of the yogurt (about a half a cup) then splashed in some milk, added a bit of oat bran, ground flax, brown sugar and a few slivered almonds and golden raisins. In the morning I chopped up another juicy peach and breakfast was done! No dishes and the container is recyclable! I made this before my open water swim clinic a few weeks ago and it lasted a good 4 hours.
So think about making up some of your own bottom of the jar recipes!
