    can I just mention how much I'm really really hating people who post recipes without basic calorie content at the end? For me it makes me ignore potentially good ideas I might embrace. sorry..

    Apology not accepted. You're on a website that orbits around a calorie counter - go count them yourself and help out some other people.




    THIS!!!

    Again awesome recipes!! Here is the Calorie count for the complainers

    1/2 cup Oats
    1/2 cup FF Plain Greek Yogurt
    2/3 cup GNC Total Lean Vanilla Shake
    2/3 cup blueberries

    Do you cook the oats first?

    Do not cook - use old fashioned uncooked oats, chill overnight in the fridge, eat cold.

    YUM! Thanks! :)

    No worries - I have been eating some variation of these now for about a month of breakfasts. On days when I run out of ingredients, I go through a process of grieving until I right the situation with a trip to the grocery. Once you find an O.O. recipe that suits your taste and caloric needs, you'll never go back.

    what is your favorite variation?

    I've been upping my calories lately, so I try to make a recipe that brings me around 500 cals for breakfast. But you can easily edit this recipe to make any total between 300 - 500 cals.

    I make the basic recipe adapted for triple chocolate, banana and peanut butter oats, coming in just under 480 calories and it is so good I think about making it for maybe two meals a day.

    Ingreds added to mason jar in this order:

    1/3 cup chocolate almond milk (40 cals)
    1 T unsweetened cocoa (10 cals)
    1/4 cup old fashioned uncooked oats (75 cals)
    1/4 fat free fage plain greek yogurt (33 cals)
    1 T chia seeds (60 cals)
    1 T ground flax seed (30 cals)
    2 tsp honey (30 cals)
    6 T chocolate PB2 (135 cals - because I like PB2)

    Shake, then add:

    1/2 banana, sliced, then stirred in (45 cals)

    Chill overnight, and seriously consider setting your alarm earlier than normal to enjoy earlier than normal.

    I make this for my wife (283ish calories total):

    Ingreds added to mason jar in this order:

    1/3 cup unsweetened coconut/almond milk blend (15 cals)
    1/4 cup old fashioned uncooked oats (75 cals)
    1/4 fat free fage plain greek yogurt (33 cals)
    1 T chia seeds (60 cals)
    2 tsp maple syrup (30 cals)

    Shake, then add:

    2/3 cup blueberries, or perhaps a bit less (60 cals)

    Stir, then add a few extra blueberries to top (10 cals)

    Lucky wife! haha that sounds great! I'm going to buy these ingrediants my next grocery store run! :) Thanks!

    So I decided to try these because I love, love, love oatmeal. I just did basic...oats, milk, yogurt and a little cinnamon. Oh my, they were gross. Maybe it was a texture thing, but I didn't like them at all. Maybe I need to try one of the recipes on here. I was so excited about them...my daughter wants to try them so I'm anxious to call her in a bit and see what she thought...

    I never thought to put oatmeal in my smoothies.
    I used to make the oat part (Oats, greek yogurt and almond milk) and then use it as the base of my smoothie each morning. Made it nice and thick and healthy!

    I love soaking oats overnight in apple juice, just enough to cover them. By morning they're all chilled, apple-y (it's a word), and fluffy. I throw in some blueberries, a spoon of greek yoghurt and pumpkin seeds and it's good to go. YUM.
