Ingredients

Directions

Pre-Preparation – One day before service

1. Zest fresh oranges. Using tongs, juice oranges; strain and discard any excess pulp and seeds.
2. Drain the canned mandarin oranges, ensuring all excess liquid is removed.
3. CCP: Hold all ingredients, covered, labeled, and dated at ≤41°F until needed.
4. Place oats in a large mixing bowl. Add milk, orange juice concentrate, and fresh orange juice; mix thoroughly.
5. Next, add the yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and orange zest; mix until fully incorporated. Adding these slightly later creates a smoother blend and creamier texture.
6. Allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes to hydrate oats. Then fold in half of the drained mandarin oranges.
7. To assemble, portion 1 cup of the oat mixture into clear individual use cups. Top with remaining 1/4 cup (#16 scoop) mandarin oranges.
8. CCP: Store overnight, wrapped, labeled, and dated at ≤41°F.

 Tips | Notes

• To quickly juice several oranges, use tongs as a press. Cut the citrus in half and place between handles. Squeeze over a container to capture the juice. Strain out seeds, if needed.
