In Need of Some Refrigerator Oatmeal Recipes!

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!

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.
