OVERNIGHT OATS

 


1/2 cup milk (whole, 2%, oat, almond, cashew, soy, prepared protein, etc...)
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/4 cup greek yogurt and/or 1 tablespoon pudding mix or protein powder

optional add ins:
fruit (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, banana, pumpkin)
other mix ins: chia seeds, flaxseed, nuts, granola, coconut, extracts, spices, honey, maple syrup

Mix together milk, oats, yogurt, powder, fruit and desired add ins in a mason jar.  Refrigerate overnight and enjoy the next morning either cold or hot - just pop in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

If you want some crunch add nuts or granola just before eating.

I've read that these last up to 4 days in the fridge.

The yogurt, pudding or protein powder act as a thickener and are all optional.  Mix and match for different recipes and find your favorite combo.  If you add the fruit the night before it will be softer in the morning vs fresh so depending on how you like the texture of fruit - keep that in mind.  Example - putting in bananas the night before was still yummy but very mushy vs adding them in just before eating.
