New Arrival Alert: Oak Farms Milk Now In Stores
Grocery Services North is Now Carrying Oak Farms Milk
Attention WIC Moms: Exciting News – Oak Farms Milk is Now Available at Grocery Services North stores for you and your little ones!
Oak Farms Milk has arrived at our store, offering a nutritious and wholesome choice. Whether you’re pouring it over cereal or enjoying a glass by itself, you will love the taste of Oak Farms Milk.
To celebrate, here’s a fun recipe featuring milk for a nutritious breakfast treat:
OVERNIGHT OATS
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup regular yogurt (plain or flavored)
1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh or frozen fruit (e.g., berries, sliced banana, diced apple, or any fruit you like)
Nuts or seeds for topping (e.g., almonds, chia seeds, or walnuts)
A pinch of salt
In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, milk, regular yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix all the ingredients together.
Add your choice of fresh or frozen fruit to the mixture. Berries, banana slices, and diced apples are popular options, but you can use any fruit your child enjoys.
Seal the container with a lid and shake it or stir to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
Refrigerate the container overnight or for at least 4-6 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and become creamy.
In the morning, give the overnight oats a good stir to redistribute the ingredients. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more milk to achieve your desired consistency.
Top your overnight oats with your choice of nuts or seeds for added crunch and nutrition. Chia seeds, sliced almonds, or walnuts work well. Serve the overnight oats cold, right from the fridge.Enjoy a nutritious and delicious breakfast!
Visit a Grocery Services North store today to pick up your WIC-approved milk and other foods.
