    I bought 6 cute jam jars and have them all ready for my breakfast overnight oats.

    I love layering the fruit, spice then oats - looks amazing and they are so delicious. This morning I had mashed banana with cinnamon, oats, blueberries & almond milk. Yesterday I had spiced apples, oats & soy yogurt. I've also made banana, chocolate chip, oats & almond milk.

    The combinations are endless.....love oatmeal!!!

    I'm also going to try breakfast quinoa....that will be another post.

    I have never been a fan of oatmeal but I'd like to try this as I'm so rushed in the morning with getting the kids to school. I have two questions

    1. has anyone used almond milk instead of regular milk?

    2. has anyone used frozen fruit instead of regular? I'm thinking about the organic frozen raspberries from Trader Joe's and/or their frozen mango chunks.

    thanks!

    I use almond milk all the time. Soy yogurt works well too. I never tried frozen fruit, but I'm sure it will defrost overnight nicely.

    Today I had layers of spiced applesauce, oats, soy yogurt, blueberries - I weigh my layers to ensure its not a huge portion. Its so tasty its easy to get carried away!! I always ensure there is 30-40 g oats (approx. 140 kcal) and 125 mls yogurt (64 kcal) or 200mls almond milk (26 kcal). (I live in the UK - so I use Alpro)

    I make mine......

    1/2 cup old fashioned oatmeal
    1/2 tbsp chia seeds
    4 - 6 oz plain Greek yogurt
    1/2 cup milk
    1 tsp cinnamon

    Toppings: nutella, banana, almonds, peanut butter, etc.

    One time I tried pineapple....Fail! Never again. The sourness of the Greek yogurt and the pineapple was a major mistake

    So, last night I tried a 'raspberry vanilla'

    1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
    1/3 cup almond milk
    1/4 cup greek yogurt
    1/2 tsp chia seeds
    1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/4 cup raspberries (i used frozen)
    calories: 163

    This is now the second recipe that I've tried. I love this idea and want it to work but I'm wondering if other people get a 'gooey' consistency. Like with you pickup your spoon to take a bite, there is a little slime string that is still connected to the main portion for a quick second? That's a real texture turn off for me. I'm wondering what it is in the recipe that causes that and if I could tweak it so that didn't happen.

    that "slime" thing happening is probably from the chia

    Thanks for posting this. I usually eat oatmeal every morning but the once the heat hit, I just didn't want to eat something hot. These are perfect. Can't wait to try them.
