Overnight Oats

 
 
 
 

I love making these every few weeks (I make 8 -10 at a time). They are or a quick, grab-and-go meal. Whether you eat them for breakfast, snack or another meal, they pack a balanced punch of flavor, protein and nutritious goodness. My recipe is an adaptation from Clean Food Crush. She posts amazing meal ideas!

Ingredients:

  • 4oz milk (regular, skim, almond, oat or any variation that suites your needs)

  • 1-2oz water depending on desired thickness

  • 1TBS Chia Seeds

  • 1 scoop protein powder (I used chocolate flavor Orgain which contains 80 calories and 10.5g of protein per scoop)

  • 1TBS agave or honey (you could substitute maple syrup, stevia or any sweeter that you enjoy)

  • 1/2c old fashioned oats (not instant)

Instructions:

Combine dry ingredients in an 8-10oz mason jar. I typically use a spoon or a long butter knife to mix. Ensure chia seeds are well distributed (this will keep texture on point after they sit overnight). Add liquid and mix again to combine. Your mixture will be relatively watery, but this will change as they sit. Place lid(s) on containers and refrigerate overnight. When you’re ready to consume, mix again with a spoon and top with berries, nut butter, seeds or whatever suites your fancy. You can also omit toppings and eat as is. Enjoy!
