    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!

    Oh man! Sounds AMAZING! And like it will fill me up till dinner! haha
    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...

    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.
    Bump! How long do these last in the fridge? Can I make them for each day of the week all at one time ?

    I tried it....it was good but the greek yogurt was a bit tart....I am gonna try something else in its place and add blueberries..

    I agree, we need a mark topic, bumping takes forever to get through the threads....and the quote thing makes the pages longggggg.

    I tried it today with Cottage Cheese, I used 1/4 cup oats (150 calories), 1/2 cup cottage cheese (90calories), and 1/2 cup crushed pineapple with splenda (50 calories). It is probably my favorite so far.

    Did anyone notice that your belly swelled some, an I had awful gas....maybe TMI but wondering if anyone else had this issue.

    I had no idea what this was, had to google it. For those who don't know, either, here's some links:

    I've been making a high protein version of these for a while.

    1/2 cup oats
    3/4 cup almond milk
    1/2 cup fage greek yogurt
    1 scoop chocolate whey
    2 tbs all natural almond butter
    1/2 cup frozen blueberries
    4-5 frozen strawberries
    1 banana

    sometimes i throw in nutella for that extra chocolate & hazelnut taste
