    Okay, I tried it with stuff I had on hand and it was delicious!

    1/2 c old fashioned oats
    1/2 c plain soy milk
    1 container fat free plain greek yogurt
    1 scoop vanilla protein powder
    1 c blueberries
    1/8 c chopped pecans
    1/2 tsp cinnamon

    2 servings, about 320 cals and 28g protein each. Yum! I will be trying the pina colada recipe next...

    Found this on Pinterest and it is MY FAVORITE - I usually make it Sunday day time, put the 7 servings in containers and refrigerate, then take one each am - use the reheat micro setting then top with raspberries or blueberries. ADDICTED! Think I'll try some of the ones on here for variety!

    Slow Cooker, Banana & Coconut Milk Steel-Cut Oatmeal
    By Monica Servings: 7 (3/4-cup) servings

    Ingredients
    •2 medium ripe bananas, sliced (approx. 2 cups)
    •2 (14 oz) cans light coconut milk*
    •1/2 cup water
    •1 cup steel cut oats
    •2 tablespoons brown sugar
    •1-1/2 tablespoons butter, cut into 5-6 pieces, optional (omit or substitute margarine for lactose-free, vegan)
    •1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    •1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (I've actually never added the nutmeg)
    •1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    •1 tablespoon ground flax seed
    •1/4 teaspoon salt
    •Optional garnishes: additional sliced bananas, chopped macadamia nuts or walnuts, toasted coconut, maple syrup, additional brown sugar, additional coconut milk or butter

    Directions

    Coat inside of 3-1/2 quart (or larger) slow cooker with cooking spray. Add all ingredients (except optional toppings) to slow cooker. Stir, cover, and cook on low for 7 hours. Spoon oatmeal into bowls; add optional toppings, if desired. Store leftovers in refrigerator. Freezes well.

    To reheat single servings: Put 1-cup cooked oatmeal in microwave proof bowl. Add 1/3 cup milk or water. Microwave on high for 1 minute; stir. Continue cooking for another minute, or until hot. > I don't do it this way, but thought I'd leave it in just in case :)
    Recipe can be doubled in 6-quart or larger slow cooker. Increase cooking time 1 hour.
    Weight Watchers PointsPlus: 6 pts per 3/4 cup serving - I used the recipe function on here and figured out that it's Just under 200 cal/serving (3/4 c) (194 to be exact)

    AMAZING combination this morning! Omg, I think my favorite so far

    Lemon Blueberry Overnight Oats!!

    1/2 cup oats (I added an extra 2 tbsp too because I like mine extra thick)
    1/2 cup milk (+2 tbsp in the morning right before ya eat)
    1/2 cup FF Greek yog
    Generous heap of lemon zest
    1/8 tsp lemon extract
    1 tbsp chia seeds
    1/2 cup blueberries (I chopped up 1/4 cup of it so the flavor would get all throughout)
    1-2 packets Truvia
    Squirt of SF syrup

    This whole thing comes in just under 400 calories, but I think it's enough for breakfast and lunch. 25 g protein, 11 g fiber, and a whole lot of grams of deliciousness

    This (and maybe the buffalo style crockpot chicken) has to be the best find here on MFP. For those who haven't tried it yet, or are a little skeptical about cold "uncooked" oatmeal, I urge you to give it a try. Depending on your calorie needs for the day,you can edit the recipe to make 250 - 500 calories of pure healthy refreshing deliciousness that will keep you satisfied for a long time.

    I make the basic recipe adapted for triple chocolate, banana and peanut butter oats, coming in just under 410 calories and it is so good I think about making it for maybe two meals a day.

    Ingreds added to mason jar in this order:

    1/3 cup chocolate almond milk (40 cals)
    1/4 cup old fashioned uncooked oats (75 cals)
    1/4 fat free fage plain greek yogurt (33 cals)
    1 T unsweetened cocoa (10 cals)
    2 tsp chia seeds (40 cals)
    2 tsp honey (30 cals)
    6 T chocolate PB2 (135 cals - because I like PB2)

    Shake, then add:

    1/2 banana, sliced, then stirred in (45 cals)

    Chill overnight, and seriously consider setting your alarm earlier than normal to enjoy earlier than normal.

    Sounds like meusli. . . which I love. never thought of making it overnight. I have tried it without waiting, and I love the chewy texture of the raw oatmeal. This would be especially nice (the overnight one) for those with arthritis in the jaw . . . I can't eat those chewy granola bars easily anymore. Thanks for the great idea. I also love grapenuts nuggets in oatmeal. I'll have to try it overnight.

    Overnight oatmeal is the new breakfast of champions.

    I do mine with a 1/2 chopped banana, 1 cup light soy milk, 1/3 cup water, 1/2t tsp stevia and a tsp of instant coffee- it's AMAZING!

    this sounds delicious!

    the longest I've done is about 18 hours in advance- I think it may get a bit too "gummy" if you leave them for too long. It's important to remember to leave the oatmeal UNCOVERED in the fridge- and to always add a dash of salt. My overnight oatmeal has been even better with these additions.
