Back-to-School Breakfast: Overnight Oats

Kelly Springer, RD By Wednesday, 24 August 2016 05:00 PM EDT Current | Bio | Archive

It’s been a while since I’ve written a recipe post, and with back-to-school and work seriousness on our horizon, I thought “What better time to start?”

This recipe is made overnight! Imagine that — preparing your breakfast before bed and waking up to amazing deliciousness.

That’s what I refer to as “Overnight Oats.”

My friends at Quaker inspired me to start making overnight oats for my girls and me.

Prepared in three easy steps and enjoyed in endless flavor varieties, overnight oats are a satisfyingly chilled, on-the-go breakfast for summer mornings.

Made with Quaker Old Fashioned Oats, milk, yogurt, or any dairy alternative, along with some nutritious add-ons, this delicious breakfast will help you and your followers start the day with 40 grams of whole grains and 4 grams of fiber to help keep you full through the morning.

Quaker’s website has dozens of recipes.

Kelly’s Overnight Oats # 1
• ¾ cup Quaker Old Fashioned Oats

• ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt


• ¼ cup almonds

• ¼ cup blueberries

Kelly’s Overnight Oats # 2
• ¾ cup Quaker Old Fashioned Oats

• ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt

• ¼ cup almonds

• ¼ cup raspberries


Kelly’s Overnight Oats # 3
• ¾ cup Quaker Old Fashioned Oats

• ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt

• ¼ cup almonds

• 1 banana chopped

 

Layer these ingredients in a mason jar and chill overnight.

Feel free to substitute almonds for your favorite nuts. Add a teaspoon or two of chia seeds or ground flax seeds for some extra fiber, protein, and essential fatty acids!

Enjoy!
