Looking for a delicious and simple overnights oats recipe? I have three of my favorites for you today. Overnight oats are a lazy person’s healthy breakfast. Although I love cooking dinners for two or more, I’m usually pretty lazy about making food in the morning.
I like a balanced meal with protein, high-fiber carbs, and healthy fats to fuel my day.
The first recipe is one of my favorite go-to’s. The others are fancier variations on my simple classic.
- For oats, I use Bob Red Mills Old Fashioned Gluten-Free Oats.
- For protein powder, I recommend Strong Faster Healthier (SFH) Protein Powder.
COACH ROXY’S LAZY FAV SIMPLE OVERNIGHT OATS RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2-1/3 cup old-fashioned oats*
- 1 scoop of SFH Fuel Protein Powder (Coconut)
- 1/2 -1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or oat milk
- OR use my eye-ball method of liquid in the instructions below
- 1 TBS of raisins
- OR 2 TBS freeze-dried blueberries or strawberries
- 1 TBS organic ground chia & flax seed blend
- A small handful of fresh fruit for topping (optional)
You can use a drop of liquid stevia if you want it sweeter, but it’s good for me. The protein powder is already sweetened with stevia.
*Overnight oats do not work with the quick-cooking kind.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Put all dry ingredients (oats, protein powder, dried fruit, and ground seeds) in the mason jar
- Stir a little
- Pour in almond milk up to the dry mixture
- Wait until the liquid is done bubbling through the oats
- Pour a tiny splash more liquid to be safe
- Put the top on your jar and shake vigorously
- Refrigerate overnight (or for a few hours) so that the oats soften and absorb the liquid.
- Add fresh fruit if desired
