    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:

    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).

    To nitpick, "nippick" isn't a word.
    Nice recipe, OP!

    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 :)
    I make refrigerator oatmeal from time to time. I find it much more filling than regular oatmeal. Your recipe sounds tasty!

    I found this site (on a MFP Forum actually) with 6 DELICIOUS recipes for overnight oats, SO GOOD!

    Just made the Apple Cinnamon one this morning
    Picture Here: https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t1.0-9/10456775_10102394173059825_4717980538720190514_n.jpg

    I made it with this Homemade Applesauce

    Enjoy!!!

    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:

    trying to math here... 1.5 cups oats + 1 cup almond milk equals 2.5 cups. Other ingredients negligible volumewise. so 2.5 cups divided by four is like almost 2/3 of a cup per serving?

    is that right?

    yes that measurment is correct.... its not a SUPER HUGE portion, but if you'd eat double the serving then 250cals or so is not so bad for breakfast. Also.. adding fruit will help too...

    Getnfit87 - let me know what you think of it! :) Brown sugar is a must for me to add some sweetness to it!
