In Need of Some Refrigerator Oatmeal Recipes!

josyjozy

Wow some of these recipes go all out! I do mine a little more simple, and I watch my carb intake so I only eat a 1/3 cup portion of the finished oats. My favorite so far is: 1/2 cup quick oats
1 6oz container light nonfat yogurt
1/4 cup or a little less of water
2 Tbsp natural peanut butter
Mix in a small bowl and let sit over night. In the morning I put my 1/3 cup servings into individual bowls to just grab in the morning. Each portion is only 110 calories depending on which yogurt you use. I use regular, not greek. And for those thinking it's not very filling because the portion is small, I add a protein to my breakfast or a fruit and am completely satisfied!

That's a very good idea, I might try that (eating the 1/3 cup portion) and adding in a protein bar. The ones I get taste almost like eating a candy bar. Usually I would just eat all the oatmeal and try to keep it under 400 cal. looking forward to getting yummy and full for less calories.

Thanks so much for this! I am going to make a few of those tomorrow so I have my breakfasts already prepared this week... Trying to do as much "prep" as possible on Sunday afternoon so I don't have too many excuses for not eating right once the hustle & bustle of the week begins.

Mary's Fork and Spoon blog has some great overnight oatmeal recipes. There is one using cherry pie filling (no sugar added), that is terrific. Google her blog. She is a MFP member, marycmeadows.

I've never been big on oatmeal, but I've never tried it cold or with chocolate!

I think I'm gonna break down and give this a try

In a small mason jar (size comparable to a PB jar) I add in this order:

1/3 cup almond milk (you can choose between unsweetened and the chocolate; at 1/3 cup, the difference is 25 calories)
1T unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned oats
1/4 cup greek fat free plain yogurt
1T chia seeds
4 to 6 T chocolate PB2
1 to 2 tsp honey

Close jar and shake until mixed nicely. Then add half a banana, sliced, and stir. Close jar, and let sit in the fridge overnight. You can let it chill for 2 or 3 days if you want, but this stuff is so delicious it is hard to not eat it as soon as it is ready.

For those who haven't seen overnight oats before, you may be hesitant to eat "uncooked" oats, or a oatmeal concoction served chilled. Do it once. You'll be a happier, healthier person. For people who like the idea of chocolate oatmeal, this will be better than your best imaginings.

With maximum ingredient amounts, this recipe comes in under 410 calories of healthy goodness. You can easily edit the sugar/PB2 to reduce calories to approx. 310 calories, or leave out the banana and bring the total in under 275. I recommend full amounts however. Perhaps the most delicious meal you will eat. Try it. Life will change.

Thanks - looking forward to changing my life Monday morning.

1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup milk
1 serving PB2 (2tbsp)
1 tbsp nestle perfect for baking cocoa
1 banana
1 packet equal

Put it all in a blender and puree it. Then toss it in a container and put it in the fridge for the night. After a night in the fridge this comes out like a chocolate mousse pudding. Perfect for a morning meal.

1/4 c regular oatmeal
1/2 c vanilla almond milk
1 1/2 tsp chia seeds
1/4 medium banana, sliced
1/2 c blueberries
a touch of sweetener
Mix everything in a good sealing container (or jar). In the morning I add a little more milk since I like my oatmeal a little on the soupy side. Great summer breakfast with fresh berries.

My current breakfast obsession:
1/3 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup almond milk
1/3 cup 0% Fage greek yogurt
1/2 tbs agave
1/2 cup Private Select Triple Berry Medley

Mix everything up (including frozen berries) the night before then feast the next morning!

I love vegan overnight oats too (from Oh She Glows)
1/2-1 banana
Handful of baby spinach
1/4-1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tbs chia seeds

Blend banana and spinach then mix with chia seeds and oatmeal then wait impatiently until morning (breakfast is my favorite meal) Sometimes I add cinnamon or PB2.

I didn't read all the pages of replies. But I find using a good rtd protein shake works well.

Omg what is this and why have I never tried it!?

krystina_letitia9

I'm allergic to dairy and not a fan of chia - can this be made without yogurt or chia? If so, a recipe would be appreciated! I would love to try this!

All measurements are approximate as I don't actually measure out anything normally.

2 apples ("chopped" in blender on "ice" setting)
+1.5 cup oats
+4-6 tbsp chia seeds
+1.5 tbsp cinnamon
+1 container plain yogurt (dairy or almond)
+bit of almond milk

+ blender + 5 small mason jars = decadent breakfast for a week.

If you don't like the seedy texture of the chia seeds you can buy them milled into a powder, or replace with milled flax seeds.
