  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 scoop whey protein powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Dice the pear half.

Tips

  • Prepare a few jars at a time for quick breakfasts all week.
  • For 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 a way of “cooking.” If you prefer warm oatmeal, microwave the jar for 1 to 2 minutes before eating.
  • If you have CKD and are not on dialysis, do not use the optional protein powder.
