In Need of Some Refrigerator Oatmeal Recipes!

I am in LOVE with the following ratio:

-1/2 cup rolled oats (I use Quaker brand)
-2/3 cup vanilla almond milk (I use Almond Breeze, sometimes sweetened, sometimes unsweetened, depending on what I mix in)
-1/2 cup greek yogurt (I use fage 0% - I get the BEST thick and creamy consistency using this and it is one of the lowest in calories!)
-1-2 tbsp chunky peanut butter (chunky for crunch!)
-whole diced banana

I sometimes tweak what I add to this. Different kinds of fruit, nuts, nutella instead of peanut butter, etc. Keep in mind this makes a generous portion so you could cut the recipe down or just do what I do and have half for breakfast and save half for lunch or a snack!

BUMP!!!

need to try this

If you have any that you don't mind sharing, feel free to reply! c:

2 cups steel cut oats
2/3 c. oat bran
8 C water

Put in 3 qt crockpot on high for 2 hours 30 minutes. Makes ten 1/2 c servings of oatmeal. We add about 1 tsp ground flax, fruit, or what have you, pop it in the microwave for about 3 minutes (700 watt) and it's awesome. Make it on the weekend, and it's ready for early morning breakfasts. We store it in those ziploc containers in the fridge.

Interesting!

Banana Maple Oats
-1 microwaved and mashed banana
-1/2 cup oats

thanks for sharing.....YUM

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.
