400 calories breakfast!

Hi everyone! I hope you all have been loving every second of 2020. I am sorry it’s been a MINUTE since my last post. DID YOU MISS ME?! I have been so off the grid this month because I have actually been interviewing over the last few weeks for a new job! BUT, now that I have accepted the offer for my NEW JOB and it’s the NEW YEAR, I’ve got some NEW RECIPES for you guys. I am beyond psyched to share some fun, healthy, DELISH recipes to kick off this new decade. Today, I am going to share with you one of my most requested recipes – Overnight Oats!

Easy, Fast and Healthy – The ideal work week breakfast!

Since we started making overnight oats, they have become a true staple in every sense of the word. My husband now has them every single week for breakfast (#slavetotheoats) – they’re that good.

I like overnight oats because they are both filling and delicious. Every single ingredient has so many nutrients and health benefits – you feel high on health with every single bite. Most of all, they’re extremely easy to take on the go, so they’re perfect for those of you who are short on time in the mornings. You simply prep them on Sunday and you have breakfast through the rest of the work week.

Get Creative! Add variety to your oats

You seriously cannot go wrong with any ingredient in overnight oats, so feel free to get creative. The one thing I do recommend is the type of oats. I like to get quick-cooking, whole grain rolled oats. The texture is far superior to traditional oats, and does a better job of absorbing the almond milk.

Other potential substitutions include:

• Almond butter substitutions – peanut butter, cashew butter, sunflower butter (regardless of type, I recommend getting non-stir nut butter)
• Almond milk substitutions – Oat Milk, 1% milk
• Blueberries & bananas substitutions – strawberries & bananas, pumpkin, peach, banana nut

Where to buy Overnight Oats containers:

Any jar or container that has an airtight seal will work perfectly for Overnight Oats. Personally, I reuse the glass jars from a local smoothie shop nearby.

If you don’t have anything similar and would like to purchase some new containers, I have linked a couple options here:

Plastic Tupperware for Oats| Glass Mason Jars for Oats

Both options above are leak proof and are perfect for storage in the kitchen.

Overnight Oats

Ingredients

• ½ cup quick cooking oats
• ½ cup almond milk unsweetened vanilla
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp almond butter non-stir
• ½ banana medium
• ¼ cup blueberries
• 1 tsp cinnamon we like a lot of cinnamon, you can reduce to ½ tsp if you’d like

Instructions

• In each jar, combine oats, chia seeds, and almond milk and stir. (The chia seeds will expand so make sure there is a little excess almond milk.)
• On top of the oats-chia mixture, layer almond butter, banana, and blueberries. Sprinkle cinnamon on top.
• Store in the fridge overnight. Enjoy for breakfast all week long! Oats will stay good until Friday.
