I freaken love overnight oats. They are a great meal prep option (especially if you are new to meal prepping), nutritious, can be changed up in lots of different ways, my kids love them AND they also make a great snack.
Here are three Overnight Oat recipes I’m currently loving.
NB: THESE RECIPES ARE ALL ONE SERVE! Be sure to double or triple if you are wanting to make for extra mouths or extra days.
1. Peanut Butter & Banana Oats
1/2 cup oats (50g),
1 TBSP chia seeds
1 cup milk
2 tsp cocoa powder
1 TBSP sweetener
1 TBSP of nut butter (15g)
1/4 tsp vanilla
Add all the above ingredients into a meal prep container. Stir the ingredients gently and place a lid on top before moving to the refrigerator.
Allow the oats to soak overnight for at least 8 hours. When ready to eat, top the oats with a thin layer of chopped nuts (optional) and sliced banana.
2. Lemon Blueberry Oats
1/2 cup of oats
1 TBSP of the chia seeds
1 cup milk
1 TBSP sweetener (optional)
1/2 tsp lemon zest
2 tsp lemon juice
1/3 cup blueberries
Add all the above ingredients into a meal prep container. Stir the ingredients gently and place a lid on top before moving to the refrigerator.
Allow the oats to soak overnight for at least 8 hours.
3. Peaches & Cream Oats
1/2 cup of oats
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vanilla yoghurt (or plain yoghurt and add 1/4 tsp vanilla extract)
1/2 of the peach chunks (fresh or canned)
1 TBSP sweetener (optional)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Add all the above ingredients into a meal prep container. Stir the ingredients gently and place a lid on top before moving to the refrigerator.
Allow the oats to soak overnight for at least 8 hours. Garnish with crushed granita crackers (optional)
Meal Prep Tip
The great thing about all these recipes is they have the same base ingredients, so what I do is pull out 3 meal prep containers and make 3 different flavours all at once.
That's 3 days' worth of breakfasts sorted (They are good to store in the fridge for up to 4 days).
