Davita Kidney Care raises awareness about chronic kidney disease with healthy eating tips

Overnight Oats with Pears and Spice Ingredients 1/2 fresh medium pear 1/3 cup old fashioned oats 2/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 1/2 scoop whey protein powder (optional) Preparation Dice the pear half. Combine all ingredients in a mason jar and stir well. Refrigerate overnight. Ready to eat the next day. You can take your breakfast on-the-go. Heating is not necessary. Add sweetener if desired. Helpful hints Prepare a few jars at a time for quick breakfasts all week. If you desire a crunchy texture use fresh pears and add them in the morning. Instead of fresh pears you can substitute a fruit cup of diced pears (drained) or other low potassium fruits such as apple, berries, cherries or peach. The soaking of the oats overnight acts as “cooking”. If warm oatmeal is preferred microwave the jar for 1-2 minutes before eating. If you have CKD and are not on dialysis do not use the optional protein powder.
