Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are healthy, filling, and super easy to meal prep. They are a pleasantly refreshing breakfast that will fill you up and keep you going all morning long. I love throwing everything together the night before and waking up to a premade breakfast. There’s no cooking involved and you get a delicious bowl of oatmeal with fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, honey, peanut butter, or anything you can dream of mixed in.

Ingredients

  

Oats

• 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tsp chia seeds optional

Toppings

• honey
• banana, strawberries, blueberries, or other fruit
• peanut butter, almond butter, etc.
• pecans, chocolate chips, etc.

Instructions

 

• In a mason jar or bowl, mix together oats, greek yogurt, milk, and chia seeds.
• Cover and set in the fridge overnight to allow the oats to soften and soak up all of the liquid.
• In the morning, add toppings of your choice. I like to add honey for some sweetness, fruit for extra flavor, and nut butter for protein.

Notes

I meal prep my overnight oats for the whole week so I can grab them in the morning, top with whatever I’m feeling that day, and eat them at work. 

You can use any milk you have on hand! My favorites are almond milk, oat milk, and good old cow’s milk (skim or whole). 

My go-to Greek yogurt is Fage 2% plain. However, feel free to use your favorite yogurt!

Make sure to use old-fashioned oats. Instant oats will not get absorbed the same and you will get mushy oats. 

Feel free to add toppings the night before, but be aware that some do better than others overnight. Nuts tend to soften along with the oats and some fruits, like bananas, are better to add right before eating.
