Small Jar
Black bean and corn

Overnight oats
Place oats in the bottom of a small jar. Pour in apple juice then throw in a dried fruit and mix. Leave for 15 minutes or overnight. Toss in yogurt, chopped apple, chopped nuts and maple syrup.

Opinion

For the chapters on Raw, Big Jars and Sweet Endings, I could not find a good recipe. However, I thought that the recipes I highlighted were unique.

Red wine vinaigrette has totally coordinating ingredients.

Black beans and corn are bulky and filling.

Overnight oats is there ready for you whenever you are!

A few more recipes would be nice.

I give this book a 5-star rating.
