    I mix oats with orange juice and leave them overnight (or for at least an hour). Then in the morning I add yogurt and eat it cold. It's even better to mix in some dried blueberries and maybe some nuts before adding the orange juice. I just do enough orange juice to barely cover the oats and mix in however much yogurt I want that day. It's a super simple flexible recipe, and the orange juice makes it taste light and refreshing. You can add any dried fruits or nuts you like. Even mini chocolate chips would be tasty.

    Because I’m pre-diabetic I have to add protein. Can’t have carbs alone. Mine:
    1/2 cup oats
    1 cup cashew milk
    1 scoop Isopure no carb vanilla protein powder
    1/4 tsp vanilla extract
    1 Tbsp chia seeds
    1/2 Tbsp honey

    I've tried making overnight oats but mine tasted super pasty and chalky. I used quick oats. Any suggestions as to what I could do better? I just layered fruit,yogurt and quick oats

    Use old fashioned oats, not quick oats. Sometimes I use quick oats if I forget to make it the night before. I make it up in the morning and its ready by the time I get to work. Also, use some liquid. You'll see that most of the recipes posted use some form of milk.

    I make a lot of different versions but here's my current fave:
    1/2c old fashioned oats
    1c unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    140g frozen cherries
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    7 g crushed almonds

    Yum! :)

    There are 100's of recipes, sweet and savory, just google it.
    You can pretty much put in whatever you like. You are limited only by your imagination.
    My favorite is, oatmeal, unsweetened almond milk, cinnamon, tsp honey, chopped walnuts and blueberries.

    Kinda clueless here....
    Do you pop it in the microwave before you eat or is it "done"? I followed a basic recipe to prep for my husband and I in the morning, but that part isn't very clear. (I want to give him proper "directions", since he leaves at 4, long before I get up)

    Nope - just eat it cold. The benefit of the overnight soak is that the oats don't need to be cooked.

    I like it for hot days when a big bowl of steaming oatmeal doesn't appeal. It doesn't really save me much time vs microwaving it, but it's more refreshing when it's hot outside and I don't have to wait for it to cool to avoid burning my mouth!

    I've just tried them this morning - mocha overnight porridge

    40g rolled oats
    125ml milk
    1 tsp honey
    1tsp instant coffee
    1tsp cocoa powder

    Perfect start for a coffee addict like me

    I nuke mine because I use old fashioned oats, I don't like chewy oats, and I don't like cold oatmeal! It's a matter of personal preference.
