Just wanted to share a low-cal recipe I have been using for overnight oats....

1.5 Cups of raw oats
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almod milk
1 Tbsp PB2
1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
a heafty dash of cinnamon (I say 1tsp)

Mix all together and let sit over... serves 4!

My recipe builder calculates this at 85cals per serving! Of course you can add more PB2 of you love peanut butter or even add fruit for a little more extra cals! Its a great mid morning snack! Hope yall enjoy! :flowerforyou:

    Eh that's a tiny amount of food if it makes 4 servings...

    I haven't tried overnight oats, but keep hearing a ton about them... so you eat them cold? I know, probably a dumb question... and another lol... how long does one batch last? I saw you make them Sunday for the week - so what you make on Sunday is still good by Friday?

    Doubtful. But it takes no time to prepare and will be good the next day anyway so you can just make one serving at a time.

    I'm not a fan, personally.

    Is the recipe in the MFP database? It should be. Can't wait to try this one.

    Yes you eat them cold. They are pretty good and take on a pudding consistency. As long as you have the oats and milk (some recipes call for greek yogurt as well), you can mix in whatever you want. A personal favorite of mine is raspberry, chopped pistachio, chia seeds and honey. If you just google overnight oats you will find a ton of different ideas.

    Don't rely on the MFP database, make sure you are building this each time you make it if your ingredients change.

    What is PB2? A low-fat peanut butter?

    It's a low fat and calorie powered peanut butter.
    Search bell plantation pb2.
    :) It's very good but not as good as the real stuff

    That would be a tiny, non-satisfying amount of food for me. This cannot be 4 servings IMO.

    So that's a snack what's actually for breakfast? That recipe is really for one not four which at 340 calories would be perfectly acceptable.

    Not saying its a bad recipe but portion wise very questionable

    To nippick..

    1.5 cup of oats = 450 calories
    1 cup almond milk = 40 calories
    1 tbsp PB2 = 23 calories
    1 tbsp brown sugar = 45 calories
    Total = 558 calories

    Even if you do get 4 servings out of it (I'd say... more like 2/3), that wouldn't be 100 calories each. Unless you're using oats that somehow have less than 150 calories for 1/2 cup (40g).
  • Serves 4 what? Toddlers? Cats? :laugh:

    Sounds tasty but I'd eat the whole thing. Probably with sliced banana on top.

    correction...

    MILK - 40
    PB2 - 23
    CINNAMON - 8
    OATS - 375

    SERVING 4 is 123 calories...

    I messed up on the oats.. but its actually a decent size snack. That is the whole purpose of a "SNACK" and it wont break you calorie bank where just only 2 tbsp of regular PB is 200+ cals!

    Heck if your so inclined.. make into 2 servings! it would only be 246 cals! Still very satisfying at one serving for me though. I didnt say it would feed an army... its a mid morning snack :)

    And yes the oats I use is 150cals exactly for 1/2 cup!

    What is PB2? A low-fat peanut butter?

    It is a powdered peanut butter. You use it dry in recipes, or add water for a peanut butter texture. Tastes absolutely amazing, and is much lower in fat.

    That would make about 2.5 cups. So 2 servings would be 1.25 cups and one serving would be 0.625 cups (just under 2/3 cup)

    Thank you OP for reminding me about overnight oats. I love them.

    I will say that it is beyond my senses that folks feel obligated to take things to a negative. If you don't like them....don't make them....no need to post and discourage others. If you want this to be two meal servings rather than 4 "SNACKS" then divide it in 2 and calculate your calories accordingly. It's really not rocket science. AND....we should all be doing our own calorie calculations, because ingredients/brands/etc can vary in calories.

    How about we support the original poster rather than live our lives trying to find fault.

    JEESH!!!

    LOL! I know I am go ing to have a head full of gray hair by the time this post is enabled... lol jk...

    Glad to see there are some supporters out there too...

    Would be wonderful to add in a banana, mini dark chocolate chips, strawberries... ANYTHING to make it more "filling" Heck even add a small scoop of protein powder if you want, just make sure to adjust caloried accordingly :wink:
