Overnight Oats

If you had told a younger me that I’d be soaking raw oats in milk overnight and eating them for breakfast the next day, I would’ve laughed in your face. Now that I’m older, overnight oats are an easy, healthy way to meal prep for breakfast. Best of all, you can include whatever toppings you’d like – berries, almonds, chia seeds, maple syrup, and honey are some of my favorites!

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk of your choice
  • 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

Optional toppings/add-ins

  • mashed banana
  • banana slices
  • raspberries
  • sliced almonds
  • chocolate chips
  • peanut butter
  • protein powder
  • and more!

Instructions
 

  • Add all the ingredients to a mason jar and mix well with a spoon. Place the lid back on and let it sit in the fridge overnight. I prep this in the evening and it's perfect for breakfast the next day!
  • For toppings such as fruits, I recommend adding the fruit the morning of, and just letting the oat base soak overnight. One exception to this is adding a mashed overripe banana to the base and letting that sit overnight–it really brings out the banana flavor! It pairs really well with some peanut butter or chocolate protein powder.
  • Enjoy!
