BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS

1 container (32 oz.) plain, 

Greek-style yogurt 

2-1/2 cups milk

2 cups uncooked steel-cut oats

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup flax seeds

2 apples, chopped

1 Tbsp. cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix ingredients in large bowl until combined.

2. Spoon into 10 half-pint size jars.

3. Refrigerate until ready to eat. 

NOTES:

• Of course this works with any type of plain Greek yogurt.I prefer the richness and creaminess of the full fat type.
• This pudding is safe to eat until 1 week after the sell by date on the milk and yogurt. Always go by the first calendar date.
• This is especially good when you use freshly ground cinnamon. You can grind cinnamom sticks in a clean coffee grinder. Break them up first using a rolling pin (put them in a zip lock bag so they don't fly all over your kitchen).
