Overnight Oats

Overnight Oats

Overnight Oats are a staple in my diet. They are so easy to prep at the start of the week, and then just grab and go for work. There are endless flavor add-ins as well, so it's hard to get sick of them.

Instructions
 

  • Combine dry ingredients into your container: oats, protein powder, cinnamon, chia seeds, and any other dry things you'd like to add. Mix well.
    1/2 cup Oats, 1 scoop Protein powder, Cinnamon, 2 tbsp Chia seeds
  • Add in milk and greek yogurt and other wet ingredients.
    1/3 cup Milk, 1/3 cup Greek Yogurt, 1-2 tbsp Almond or peanut butter
  • Mix in any other chunky add-ins (like fruit). Stir well and top off with some extra cinnamon.
    1/2 cup Fruit
  • Put into the fridge to let it set. I typically let this happen overnight, but it's good after a couple of hours.

Notes

Hint: It is easy to use frozen fruit for this, because it will just thaw in the fridge overnight, and it is cheaper. 
I love switching up the flavoring for the overnight oats so that I don’t get tired of them. below are some ideas of things to add to the basic recipe: 
  1. Raspberries and white chocolate: Mix raspberries into the oats, and then microwave white chocolate with coconut oil. Pour on top of the oats and put into the fridge. It will solidify and be like a magic shell. Yay. 
  2. Almond butter and berries. 
  3. Pumpkin pie: Mix in some canned pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and chocolate chips. 
  4. Peanut butter apple:  Mix in chopped apples, cinnamon, and some peanut butter
  5. Tiramisu: Mix a little bit of coffee and coco powder into the oat base. Then top with greek yogurt mixed with vanilla. Sprinkle coco powder on top.
