- ½ cup Liquid of choice dairy milk, almond, cashew or coconut milk
- ½ cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¼ cup Yogurt optional
- 1 tbsp Chia seeds
- 1 Banana or fruit of choice
Add the desired amounts of milk, oats, yogurt, chia seeds and banana to a mason jar and give them a good stir.
Refrigerate overnight or for at least 5 hours.
In the morning, add additional to achieve the desired consistency you'd like. top with fruit, nuts, nut butter, seeds, protein powder, granola, coconut, or spices.
- Add chia seeds first –I like to add the chia seeds first with just the oats and liquid, then let it sit for a few minutes before adding the other ingredients. This allows the oats and seeds to fully absorb the liquid and results in super thick, delicious oats!
- Meal prep – Overnight oats lasts in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Simply store in an air-tight container and portion out a serving each morning to enjoy throughout the week.
*Nutrition facts use "almond milk" as liquid ingredient.
