Skinny Overnight Oats in a Jar

how long do you cook it for?

This looks great, but what are chia seeds and what does it do to calorie count if left out. I live in Japan and not sure if I can get or even want to add.
Thanks

I do same except .33 Tbsp Chia seeds and add PB2 instead of blueberries & mine comes to 187 cals....

You don't cook it. It "cooks" in the fridge overnight. You eat it cold.

I've made them with chia and without chia several times and they work ok without, so don't be discouraged from trying these even if you can't get chia seeds!

Sometimes I do a very simple version with just rolled oats, fat free yoghurt with fruit already added into it and apple juice.

You're very welcome :bigsmile:

I eat my version of this every morning and I change up what I use to keep me interested. (about 3/4 cup per serving)

I suggest a trip to your local bulk food store - much cheaper.

Whole steel gain oats are better than quick oats nutritionally and `cook` overnight also.

As the main ingredients I use two of:

Steel oats
Kamut or
Rye flakes

To keep the variety going I also add one of:

Quinoa
Buckwheat or
Millet

To add some nuts I add one of:

Pecans
Cashews
Almonds or
Hazelnuts

For seeds I add one of:

Sesame seeds
Sunflower seeds or
Flax seeds

For berries I add up to two of (frozen or fresh):

Strawberries
Raspberries
Blackberries or
Blueberries

For milk I use one of (unsweetened):

Coconut
Almond
Soy or
Rice

Usually the berries make things sweet enough for me, but if I want a little more I sprinkle shredded coconut on my serving.

I make a batch every three to four days and prefer to let my serving reach room temperature before eating - it`s more flavorful to me.

Since I starting eating breakfast everyday, I`ve been loosing weight!

Yum! Thank you.
