Basic Overnight Oats

Here is the recipe we use for the base of our overnight oats. After this, you can add whatever other 'toppings' you would like.  Some examples include peanut butter and sliced banana, or sliced strawberries and chocolate chips. The flavor possibilities are endless, and totally up to you!

Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings 1 Jar

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup old fashioned oats (*not* quick oats)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4-1/2 cup milk of your choice (We prefer protein nut milk. It adds a nice creamy texture and of course, protein.)
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Combine above ingredients plus desired toppings in a mason jar with a lid. Adjust the amount of milk based on how thick you like your oatmeal.

  2. Shake well.

  3. Refrigerate overnight. Enjoy it cold or hot in the morning!

  4. Stay sane because you haven't repeated breakfast choices 11 times returned with blank stares. Do something for yourself in the time you would have spent scrubbing sausage grease from the frying pan.
