Overnight Oats- 4 Ways
No cook overnight oat is made using Greek yogurt, chia seeds, flax seed, and oats. Full of protein and fruit, these make the perfect on-the-go breakfast or post workout snack. Here are 4 different ways to add variety to the classic oats.
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
Oats Base-
- 1/3 cups rolled oats
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup milk* any kind
- ½ medium banana diced
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- ½ tsp ground flax seed
Variations-
Tropical- Mix 1 tablespoon of shredded unsweetened coconut flakes into the oats base. Top with 1/3 cup of diced mango or pineapple (or both!) and sprinkle additional coconut flakes.
PB & J- Lightly mix 2 tablespoons of your choice of nut butter (I like using almond butter) into the oats base, leaving some chunks of nut butter un-mix. This will allow you to have some bites with more nut butter. Top with 1/3 cup of berries (any variety, frozen berries work well too).
Blueberry Muffin- Mix 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon into the oats base. Top with 1/3 cup blueberries and 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry- Mix 1- 1 ½ teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder into the oats base. Top with 1/3 cup diced strawberries.
Instructions
- In a mason jar or container that you can cover, combine the base ingredients (rolled oats, Greek yogurt, milk, banana, chia seeds, and flax seed). Add the additional ingredients based on desired variation.
- Cover the jar and place in the refrigerator overnight. Serve straight out of the fridge or let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes before serving to take the chill off.
Notes
- If you are not using chia seeds use 1/3 cup of milk instead of the ½ cup.
- Overnight oats are best if eaten within 3 days.
