Overnight Oats...why didn't I do this sooner?!

I always have Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats...it keeps me full for 6-7 hours! I have it every morning with tea!
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup skim milk (or vanilla almond milk)
1/3 cup plain, fat free greek yogurt
1 tbsp pure cocoa powder
1 medium sliced banana
2-3 tbps peanut butter (put on top in the morning)
644 calories...but so worth it (if breakfast is your favorite meal, like it is for me!)0 -
Just tried overnight oats for the first time! Yum! I did oats and nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt, with some raspberries added in the morning.0

I don't do anything too fancy with my oatmeal. I do prefer steel cut though and prefer the whole oat versus pressed. I'll fix a batch on Sunday and split it up into 4 bowls. I'll take a bowl to work. Add a little water and microwave then throw in some fresh blueberries, strawberries, bananas, peaches or whatever I have. Breakfast is done and very filling.0

Thanks for the ideas...will give it a try, sounds so good!0

This remarkably versatile and simple idea has become a super favorite of mine. I often suffer from morning nausea because of my Fibromyalgia... which makes eating the most important meal of the day even harder... and makes late night snacking (and calorie killing) ever more likely. Since this is already made I can grab it and go sit down and nurse it one tiny bite at a time until my tummy is awake... and mmmm it is soooo good.
I posted about this great idea on my blog when I first gave it a try (you can check it out here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Weeblewobble123/view/review-coconut-pineapple-overnight-refrigerator-oatmeal-307855 )
But I thought I should share some interesting information with everyone...
To make this easy I broke my recipe down into two parts...
PART ONE: BASIC OVERNIGHT OATMEAL BASE = 226-248 Calories
1.5 TBS Chia Seeds = 75 Calories
1/4 Cup Rolled Oats = 85 Calories
1/4 Cup Fat Free Greek Yogurt = 33 Calories
1/4 Cup Unsweetened Coconut/Soy/Hemp/Almond Milk = 33-50 Calories
PART TWO: FLAVORING = Calories varied depending on choices
1/4 Cup of Fruit of your choice
any desired Nuts, Spices, and/or sweetener
So my current favorite of Vanilla Peach would be: Total Calories = 283
BASIC OVERNIGHT OATMEAL BASE = 248 Calories
1/4 Cup Kirkland canned peaches = 35 Calories
Tiny bit of Vanilla and Cinnamon and Splenda to taste
By doing it this way, I can make a never ending variety of choices and only have to add in my chosen fruit/nuts as a separate entry. Saves me time and frustration.
Hope this helps, thanks. :blushing:0 -

my overnight oats didn't work ): I used soy milk instead which apparently shouldn't make a difference, who knows!0
-
What does it do to the oats soaking it overnight? Is it that much of a difference compared to microwaving it?
I'll try it either way.0 -

My overnight oats are
1/2 cup oats
1/2 banana or fruit of choice
1/2 cup almond milk(unsweetened)
sweetner of choice( I use stevia)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix milk, sweetner and cinnamon pour over oats and banana, cover and put in fridge. 272 calories0 -
I'm curious, what's the advantage?0

I love this when I am traveling or have to take breakfast with me! They even let me take it through the TSA on early morning flights
I do the following:
1/3c oats, large flake
1 Tbsp chia seeds
15g peanut flour
1/2 - 1 tsp cinnamon
1cup unsweetened almond milk
60g greek yogurt
1 medium apple, chopped
Combine and let it sit over night in the fridge, then enjoy.0 -
Mine is simple....one container of light and fit Greek yogurt (cherry is awesome), plus 1/4 cup muesli or oatmeal....in covered container overnight!
To answer a previous question, it is a totally different taste than hot cooked oatmeal...and a quick grab and go breakfast..pre-made.0 -
