I am a big fan of oats. Whether I am eating a bowl of them for breakfast, eating an oatmeal cookie or steaming oat milk in a latte, I am a happy girl.
I have always loved to make hot oatmeal for breakfast, but recently, I have switched to making overnight oats. It has been such a game-changer in my morning routine.
I work out early in the morning and get hungry really, really quickly once I am done. Is anyone else like that? I need to eat right away, so having a healthy, balanced breakfast already prepared is great for my metabolism, blood sugar and muscle recovery.
Whether you workout in the morning and need a quick breakfast or you’re just looking to save a little time while you’re running around in the morning getting ready, I think you’re really going to like this recipe.
This is a pretty basic overnight oats recipe, so I encourage you to get creative and swap out items that suit your lifestyle better. For example, I like to use almond butter but you can use peanut butter or completely leave it out. I also use almond milk, but you can use whatever kind of milk that you prefer.
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups Quick Oats
2 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 tbsp Almond Butter
4 scoops of Vanilla Protein
8 tsp Chia Seeds
1 tsp Cinnamon
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients.
- Separate mixture into 4 equal size containers and cover with cling wrap.
- Refrigerate overnight
Helpful Tips:
- I like to use quick oats for their consistency, but if you only have traditional oats on hand, those will work just as well!
- My favorite brand of protein is Tone It Up. It is a plant-based protein, and the scoop is 24 grams. You can choose to omit this, but I would use less milk if that is the case.
- If don’t want to make 4 days worth of overnight oats, this recipe can very easily be split in half or into quarters!
- I put my oats into small glass cups and cover them with cling wrap, but you can use mason jars with lids or plastic containers. I would do that if I didn’t work from home!
- Top with whatever your heart desires! I love bananas, so I cut up a banana in the morning and toss it in. Other great toppings would be berries or nuts.
I hope you give this recipe a try! If you have any questions, let me know!
As always, thank you for being here!
