- 6 raw walnuts
- 1 cup of unsweetened oat and coconut milk

2. Transfer to a drinking jar and enjoy your morning hit of health.
Modifications/tips:
- Start experimenting with different flavours, get your hands a spice set and a mortar and pestle
- Plain non-fat Greek yogurt is a great staple for the fridge- lower in sugar and has more protein than standards yogurts.
