APRIL = OVERNIGHT OATS.
Anyone else with me?
You may not know this, but I eat oatmeal EVERY SINGLE MORNING (unless it’s the weekend). Oats + Banana + PB is my favorite combination. During the warmer months, I like to mix it up and eat Overnight Oats, but soaking my oats in a liquid such as almond milk, Greek yogurt, etc.
Must-Have Ingredients for Overnight Oats
- Liquid (almond milk, milk, Kiefer, etc)
- Rolled Oats
- Chia Seeds
- Sweetener (maple syrup, honey, etc.)
I like to mix Greek yogurt and almond milk for my liquid. I have found that using rolled oats gives it a much better texture. Chia seeds make everything better and add a healthy dose of Omegas to your meal. If you don’t use sweet almond milk or a flavored yogurt, I suggested a few teaspoons of honey, but that’s just my preference!
This time around. I decided to bring strawberries center stage and puree them with Greek yogurt and almond milk. Almost like a smoothie. When making overnight oats, I also try and keep the 2:1 ratio of liquid to oats.
I am a toppings girl. I love mixing textures. On top of this guy, I added sliced banana, strawberries, and chopped pistachios. I’d say that this recipe serves 3 IF you plan on loading the toppings like I do. If you aren’t a toppings person (do they exist?! That’s the best part)- you could probably just split this recipe down the middle.

Thank you for awesome article and amazing photographs! Keep up the good work!
Could you use quick cooking steel cut oats?
I haven’t tried it with that!
Hi, I just made these and they look delicious! How long can I leave them in the fridge? I made multiple servings. Are they good for the week? Thanks!
Loveee this
★★★★
I made a single serve of this last night, because I wasn’t sure how I’d like it and I’m the only one in the house who eats overnight oats. I sweetened it with a little maple syrup instead of honey and used Noosa brand vanilla bean yogurt, so I left out the vanilla extract. It was incredible! So delicious, I never would’ve thought to blend the berries with my liquid and yogurt. I’ve already made another batch for tomorrow and you’ve got a new follower 🙂 thank you!
★★★★★
Sooooo good, right?! Glad you loved it <3
This looks really delicious just made a batch and its in fridge overnight.

The serving size says 1/3 at 321 calories… If I eat the whole thing, is that 963 calories? little confused
That is correct!
i am SO with you – i eat overnight oats/some form of oatmeal basically every weekday. it’s super convenient since i go to the gym in the morning and then eat my breakfast at work right after. also, as you’ve pointed out, the combinations are endless!!!
This is why oatmeal is actually the most bestest food in the whole wide world!
haha I like that you call it a RANT when it’s clearly a RAVE! you are so awesome at networking…I don’t know how you do it!
Also I like that you have the same thing for breakfast everyday…because so do I! PB toast. Every. day.
I guess I don’t know the difference. Is rave more positive than rant?! PB Toast..good choice, my lady!
only you can make overnight oats look amazing!!! I think it is the toppings…. may have to try this recipe… maybe I can get over it being cold!
Speaking of meeting people….. I know we’ve met 🙂 But we still need to get together for a cooking date sometime!!
I know I know! Just invite yourself over. Seriously!
Overnight oats are my favorite!! I love the idea of blending the milk, yogurt and fruit together for the liquid base. How much rolled oats do you use? It doesn’t say in the recipe. Thanks! 🙂
OMG. That is kind of a big deal, I can’t believe I left that out! And I’m surprised no one else caught that. THANK YOU. 1.5 cups. Just updated the recipe!
No problem! I had to read it over and over to make sure I wasn’t just missing it! Thanks! 🙂
Looks in to me! 🙂
Love the rant! I’ve met so many great blogging friends on Facebook (love facebook groups), and it’s awesome to be able to connect and help each other out. I have taken a lot more risks (writing an ebook, etc.) thanks to blogging friends support. Good luck on your ebook!
Love that! What are your favorite blogging facebook groups to be apart of?! Hook me up 😀

Thanks Mama Linz!
I will be so excited for your cookbook!!! 🙂 I hope you have a good weekend!
Glad to know I’m not the only one excited 😀
Love it! And I agree with Davida. You’re gonna snap and it will be done/perfect/beautiful. You inspire me daily.
Ohhhhhhhhhh stop. You are a machine.
I ate overnight oats ALLL through the winter. This is likely due to the fact that I just do not like my oats hot (unless they are baked…but that’s another story). But you are right…the toppings are the BEST part. I cannot imagine eating mine without nut butter!
Hahaha a girl after my own heart. Love how particular you are when it comes to oats 😀
Haha, SO true! That is definitely a food that I only like a certain way!
Love this… I used to be so shy and afraid to ask for help and as I get older, I realize that is SO IMPORTANT.
Davida has seriously been an amazing mentor – and more importantly – friend to me over the past few months as I get my blog off the ground. She speaks so highly of you as well!! I love making connections with other bloggers! I need to do a better job of reaching out to them more – Davs just found me and it was love!
I’m a huge creature of habit – I always eat oatmeal for breakfast, even when I’m traveling I pack it. I was trying to figure out how to make them with strawberries without tasting sour and this looks like the perfect way – blending! Love the topping ideas too!
What’s not to like about Davida. I have a huge girl crush on her. Hopefully she doesn’t tell you how weird and vulgar I am 😀 I try and keep blog stuff PG 😀
I’m an oatmeal person as well, but I have to admit that mine never look as great as these. Not only do they sound delicious (especially with the toppings and the almond chocolate butter ohmygosh so good!), but look super pretty as well. I love love love your pictures!
And also, you have such a lovely blog and I adored reading your story. Aw, you’re so so strong and inspiring! <3
Hope you have a fantastic weekend! xxx
Having the same breakfast everyday is kind of the best! Lately it’s been having some sort of smoothie! Something about eating out of a mason jar makes it so much better. They’re perfect for to go breakfast like this! Totally loving the combination of flavors in this. I’m all for the toppings 😉 Thanks for sharing, and could not agree with you about the importance of networking! Nice reminder.
Mason jar lovers unite!!!!! And yes we need to connect ASAP. We do live in the same city 😀
