Equipment

Medium-sized mixing bowl
Measuring cups and spoons
Glass jar or container for overnight soaking (with a lid)
Spoon or whisk
Refrigerator (for soaking overnight)

Ingredients

½ cup rolled oats
½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any dairy-free milk)
1 tbsp ashwagandha powder (or ashwagandha extract)
1 tsp wild lettuce tincture or wild lettuce powder (or wild lettuce extract if available)
1 tbsp chia seeds (for texture and omega-3s)
½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional, for flavor)
1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
½ cup unsweetened Greek yogurt (optional, for added protein and creaminess)

Instructions

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon (if using), and any dry ingredients like ashwagandha powder or wild lettuce powder. Stir well to combine.

Add Liquids

Pour in the almond milk (or preferred milk), followed by the wild lettuce tincture or extract and ashwagandha powder (if using extract). Add the vanilla extract for added flavor. Stir until everything is well-mixed and all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Sweeten (Optional)

If desired, add honey or maple syrup to sweeten the oats. Stir again to incorporate.

Refrigerate Overnight

Transfer the oat mixture into a glass jar or container with a lid. Seal and place the container in the refrigerator to soak overnight (at least 8 hours). The oats will absorb the liquids, and the flavors will infuse.

Serve and Enjoy

The next morning, give the oats a good stir. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can mix in Greek yogurt at this point.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy as a relaxing, nourishing breakfast or snack.

Betsy's Infusion Notes:

🍂 Ashwagandha: Known for its apoptogenic properties, ashwagandha helps balance stress hormones and reduce anxiety. It's also beneficial for overall nervous system support and helps reduce chronic pain and inflammation, particularly beneficial for neuropathic conditions.

🥬 Wild Lettuce: This herb has natural sedative properties, promoting relaxation and pain relief. It is often used for nerve pain, restless leg syndrome, and insomnia. Chia Seeds: These seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are anti-inflammatory and help promote a healthy nervous system.

🥛 Greek Yogurt: Adding Greek yogurt increases the protein content of the oats, giving them a more filling, satisfying texture. If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute with a dairy-free yogurt option.

🍯 Sweetener: This recipe is mildly sweetened with honey or maple syrup. If you prefer to reduce the sweetness or skip it entirely, feel free to adjust to taste. Customizations: This recipe is versatile! You can adjust the amount of wild lettuce tincture and ashwagandha to fit your needs. Add nuts, seeds, or berries as toppings for extra nutrition and flavor.
