Basic Overnight Oats

9/18/2015

I know overnight oats are nothing new, but I have so many friends & clients who still haven't tried them, so here's the basic recipe for those who like it simple. I'll prep 3-4 jars at one time & store them in the fridge for either breakfast if I don't have time for my usual (that'll be another post!), or for post-workout if I'm not in the mood for my Quest bar (that has yet to happen!), or for a snack/dessert if I'm craving sweet-bakery-type food. Again, don't ask for macros, calories, or even measurements ;) I eyeball everything, but I'll include guesstimates . . . You'll dump in a jar:

1.) Dry ingredients:
  • about 3/4 c. oats (quick, old-fashioned, steel cut, whatever-- I prefer old-fashioned),
  • 3/4 scoop favorite vanilla protein powder (my go-to is Isopure-- don't ask me other brands. Once I found what I liked, I settled on it & I'm loyal to a fault, but with protein powders, you just don't mess with what works!)
  • cinnamon & ginger to taste.
2.) Wet ingredients
  • a couple Tbsp or so of Fage 0% (if you're not a fan of Greek yogurt, we have issues! Bleh to slimy, slippery fake yogurt!)
  • about 2/3-1 c. almond, soy, or coconut milk of choice. Or regular milk. I'm lactose-intolerant, so I stick to the nut milks or soy, which has more protein.
3.) Put lid of jar securely. Shake vigorously. Chill in fridge overnight or longer. When ready to eat, add berries or chia seeds or peaches or nuts or nut butters or whatever makes you happy.

    About

    As a busy mom of 3, working multiple part-time jobs & volunteering in PTA, I am all about QUICK, EASY, HEALTHY, REALISTIC meals. If it takes longer than 20 minutes or requires hard-to-find ingredients, it's likely not gonna happen! Don't ask me for macros, because that goes against my Real Life mentality-- just know I always balance carbs, protein, & healthy fats.
